Hello, We are “Exit 113,” a rock’n roll band from Des Moines, Iowa. Our group consists of musicians ranging in age from 20s to 50s, and we have been playing together since 2002. Our genre of music is primarily 50’s, 60s and 70s rock ‘n roll, However, we also play a little blues, swing, more recent music, and some originals.
We bring a fresh new sound to the great old standards with our unique instrumentation, and personal backgrounds. Our lead vocalist and saxophonist, Jill Belgarde (age 26), provides a new and exciting twist to lyrics that were originally written for male performers. Our guitarist, Bob Long, 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 26), has a great touch on the keys, and will amaze you with his finesse and musicality. Our youngest member, bassist, Jo Reigeluth (age 22), lays down those classic bass lines with the authority and precision of someone years older. and Last, but not least, our drummer, Marty Fisher plays with strong authority and driving vitality that keeps the band rockin’ from start to finish.
We have played for: Clive Festival, The Iowa State Fair, The Clearlake 4th of July and Labor Day Celebrations, The Des Moines Camaro Club Car Show, Amici Espresso (downtown Des Moines), Blank Park Zoo, and have backed up Jim Freeman, the original vocalist on the popular 50s song, “In the Still of the Night.” We also frequently perform for numerous private parties and charitable events all over Iowa.
