Best Of Fools – From Des Moines, Best of Fools are an eclectic blend of rock and roll, the lighter side of the grunge era, and the modern day jam band. The core of the group have been together for over a decade, providing virtually seamless chemistry in their song development and stage performance. Vocal harmonies complimented by howling sax, and mandolin driven melodies, a typical Best of Fools show will take you on a journey through deep introspection with songs like “Wasteland,” the young love of “Dirty Diane,” to the mindless fun of “Count Me In”
