Hello, We are “Exit 113,” a variety band, which began in 2002, that hails from Des Moines, Iowa. Our group consists of musicians ranging in age from 17 to 48, and our genre of music is primarily 50’s, 60s and 70s Rock ‘n Roll. As you can see by our playlist, we also play a little country, swing, and more recent rock, as well as a some originals.
We bring a fresh new sound to the great old standards with our unique instrumentation, and personal backrounds. Our lead vocalist and saxophonist, Jill Anderson (age 21), provides a new and exciting twist to lyrics that were originally written for male performers. Our guitarist, Bob Long (the old guy of the group), with years of jazz background, puts some flair in the guitar licks with a little touch of jazz now and then. Pianist, Taylor Telford (age 21), has a great touch on the keys, and will amaze you with his finesse and musicality. Our youngest member, bassist, Jo Anderson (age 17), lays down those classic bass lines with the authority and precision of someone years older. The newest member of Exit113, Drummer, Joe Vaughan (age 23), plays with strong authority and driving vitality that keeps the band rockin’ from start to finish.
We have played for: The Taste of Des Moines Festival, The Iowa State Fair, The Clearlake 4th of July Celebration, The Des Moines Camaro Club Car Show, and have backed up Jim Freeman, the original vocalist on the popular 50s song, “In the Still of the Night.” We also have performed for numerous private parties and charitable events.
