Local Artist Spotlight
Joe Gittins is a local singer-songwriter from Perry, Iowa. His musical journey began at age 13 with an acoustic guitar, but it wasn’t until 2011, when his first child was born, that he found his voice as a songwriter. Writing a song for her sparked a lifelong commitment to expressing thoughts and emotions through music.

Joe’s inspiration is wide-ranging, from renowned musicians and local artists to authors and other creatives. For him, songwriting is both an emotional outlet and a way to process his thoughts. Picking up his guitar brings him peace, and his lyrics often distill reflections on life’s challenges and beauty.

Joe’s creative process varies; sometimes, a song emerges in minutes, and other times it takes months, capturing ideas on anything from napkins to phone memos. Often, for Joe, melodies and lyrics intertwine spontaneously while on the road.

Joe writes music as a way to self-express, and for anyone willing to lend an ear. He also writes songs for his daughters, hoping to inspire them to follow their passions. He believes progress, no matter how slow, is always worth pursuing.

His music reflects values of resilience, curiosity, and inspiration—core qualities he hopes listeners feel in every note. Those who enjoy lyrics that invite reflection and spark new ideas, alongside music that’s both enjoyable and meaningful. Through his craft, Joe aims to create songs that connect, leaving a lasting impact on all who listen.

Here is Joe Gittins Music song, "Growth Rings", that we had the pleasure of mixing and mastering!

He is also performing at Art on the Prairie in Perry this weekend!

Thanks for being a positive and creative influence in our community, Joe!

Local Artist Spotlight
Our very own, Tollef Sorenson

In the vibrant world of local artistry, Tollef stands out as a passionate filmmaker and storyteller. With an impressive 18 years of experience in videography, Tollef's journey began when he first picked up a camera at the age of 14. Inspired by his love for Star Wars, he started crafting short films, specifically driven by a desire to create thrilling lightsaber duels. This early venture ignited a flame of creativity within him, revealing the immense power of film as a medium to bring imaginations to life.

At the heart of Tollef’s filmmaking philosophy is a genuine desire to help others tell their stories. He finds fulfillment in working with clients, whether they have a clear vision or need assistance in developing their narrative. For him, every project is an opportunity to create a visual experience that resonates with audiences, fostering understanding and connection.

What drives Tollef is not just a passion for storytelling, but also an eagerness to learn and adapt in an ever-evolving industry. The dynamic nature of videography and cinematography presents both challenges and opportunities that he chooses to embrace.

Ultimately, Tollef's mission is to preserve the essence of his clients' messages. He aims to ensure that every film he produces accurately reflects the story that clients want their audience to experience. Through his work at Art of Aries Studios, Tollef continues to inspire and engage, turning visions into compelling narratives that captivate and educate.

In a world where stories shape our understanding, Tollef is dedicated to capturing and sharing those narratives, one frame at a time.
