The Cardinal Sound is an energetic four piece band out of the Des Moines, IA music scene that plays a fun mix of cover songs and harmony led dynamic original songs to make an upbeat and energetic live show. The roots of our music are based in various Americana styles such as, Bluegrass, Folk, Country and Rock. Some examples of bands we’ve covered vary from, Chris Stapleton, Railroad Earth, Tyler Childers, and Zach Bryan, to popular more classic bands like The Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, and Lynyrd Skynyrd often times done with an upbeat country/bluegrass influenced twist.

We most often play venues with sound and lighting provided, but we do have a top of the line excellent sounding QSC KW series powered sound system that is quick and easy to setup and quick to tear down along with a very fun compact light show including a low wattage LED par can light rack and a few smaller floor LED lights as well.

The Cardinal Sound musicians are:

• Brian Berry – Guitar, Banjo, and Vocals
• Justin Goes – Bass and Vocals
• Chris English- Guitar, Harmonica, and Vocals
• Ryan Barnes – Drums
