‘From Iowa With Love’ music festival raises money for Ukraine

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — What happens when nine local artists join up for a concert? You get one incredible show. The “From Iowa With love” festival Sunday was all to benefit the people of Ukraine, using some music from the heartland to bring help and hope all the way across the ocean. Iowans came out to the Val Air Ballroom in West Des Moines for a day packed with live folk, rock and blues performances, all from local Iowa artists. But there was a lot more to the show than that. The performers were all brought together under a common cause: raising money for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
