Bio
Del Schmidt and Larry “Red” Stoltenberg met as ISU students in the early 1980s and have been rockin' the folk out of the Central Iowa music scene for four decades in bands such as Redz Band, The Mooncats, and Mother Dugan. Tony Stevens is an award-winning percussion instructor from a Southern California family steeped in musical performance. On stage since age 15, Tony has pounded out rock, pop, gospel, jazz, and Afro-Cuban beats with various bands across the country. Another California native, James Webb is a regular studio musician who met his wife, Lisa, at music school in Kansas. They perform together as "Coffee Shop Romance." Together, when we make these good vibrations, we’re Stranger Than Fiction.
