Dickie @ The Ideal Theater & Bar

DICKIE LIVE at The Ideal Theater in Cedar Rapids on April 11, 2026

Dick Prall a/k/a DICKIE, is a master of what a recent interviewer called “self-deprecating indie rock.” For almost a decade, the Iowa artist has been best known as Dickie, the loving nickname his late mother bestowed on him before she passed away in 2013. Dickie’s newest release, the Headful of Hiss EP, is a gleaming testament to his ever-strengthening gifts as a songwriter, spanning lush folk, irresistibly catchy pop, yearning alternative, windswept heartland rock, and the timeless sensibility of ’60s classics. Produced in Des Moines by Bryan Vanderpool of illustrious folk-pop duo The Well Pennies, the record comprises five exquisitely well-wrought songs that cloak ruminations on anxiety, substance abuse, and depression in majestic, sweetly tuneful beauty.

Cedar Rapids local Ian Landuyt to open.
