Identifying Homegrown Band
Sep. 9, 2025 7:11 am
Southeast Iowa Union offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
Congratulations to the Homegrown Band for your inclusion in the Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame.
In the recent article which appeared about the band and this honor, a picture was attached but the individuals in that picture were not noted. For history’s sake, pictured were, standing, Ken Mattison, George Mattison III, Reg Mattison, Wayne Kanke and Lee Toomsen. In the back are Susan Manson and Barb Mattison.
Some of these folks were part of the original band which formed in the 1970s. Missing from the photo were original members Tom Patterson and John Hadenfeldt.
