Rocking blues band “Pete Neuman and the Real Deal” will be visiting the Oskaloosa Elementary School on Friday, March 4. Front man Pete Neuman will be speaking to a class of nearly 50 fourth grade students.

Neuman will also visit a Pella Middle School guitar class.

In addition to the classroom visits, the band is offering a free guitar workshop for guitar enthusiasts. The workshop is on Friday, March 4 from 5PM until 6PM at the Pella Opera House. The band will also be performing a live show at 7:30 that evening.

“Pete Neuman and the Real Deal” is a trio of young musicians from Wisconsin. The band was founded by brothers John and Pete Neuman and was later joined by Justin Wirth. They describe themselves as a “blues-influenced rock band.”
