Tony Bohnenkamp has done just about everything you can do in the music world over the past 20 years. He spent years as the drummer for Central Iowa favorites The Nadas, and he was the lead singer for Lunchbox. Bohnenkamp runs his own recording studio and is a producer, composer, and songwriter. The Aurelia, Iowa native, and current Des Moines resident, released his first pop rock solo album, entitled Side 2, in the spring of 2012.
Despite all his other projects, Bohnenkamp still finds plenty of time to perform dueling piano shows as part of Pianopalooza. Along with his partner Megan Hill, Bohnenkamp's Pianopalooza performs regularly throughout Central Iowa. The duo performs a diverse catalog of music, including numbers by Elton John, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Janis Joplin, Bohnenkamp himself, and other artists from the past five decades.
