Children take the lead on a new CD released March 28.

Katie Roche is no stranger to the stage. She's in both the all-female folk band The Awful Purdies and the swing band The Dandelion Stompers.

But one of her recent efforts is with a special band member--her six-year-old daughter Stella Roux. Roche and Roux have a song featured on "For Kids & By Kids: Songs from Iowa Rock City Volume One." 

This Saturday, March 28, the release party for the CD will happen at the Englert Theater in Iowa City. On this edition of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe speaks with Roche, Lynne Nugent, one of the coordinators of the CD, and two other artists featured on the album.
