Two bands. Two cities. One night of all-original alternative rock.
Cedar Rapids’ own Eastland returns to The Ideal with the project that lets their songwriting take center stage. You may know these hometown favorites from their wildly popular tribute act The Fresh Fighters, but Eastland reveals another side entirely. Named for the local street where it all began, the band, led by Jeremy Jacobs, crafts shimmering, thoughtful rock that captures the texture of Midwestern life, everyday moments, and the stories in between.
Joining them on tour is Echo Pilot, a powerhouse four-piece alternative rock band out of Nashville, Tennessee. Known for explosive performances and tight, chemistry-driven musicianship, Echo Pilot blends soaring melodies with muscular guitar work to create a sound that’s both expansive and unmistakably their own. Their electrifying stage presence and dynamic arrangements have quickly built them a fast-growing fan base across the country.
Local roots meet road-tested energy for a night of original music that hits with both heart and horsepower.
