Why Was Shinedown's Lead Singer Brent Smith In Iowa?

We know it was on April 15, Tax Day, so maybe his accountant lives here?

Brent posted on Instagram that it was 10:30 in the morning and "Joan Jett is on the radio. I just went and got coffee at Starbucks." Iowa tip...get local coffee next time you are in the state.

And he said that he was in Iowa and came across a fireworks store called Wild Willys Fireworks.

Now that doesn't narrow it down. While there are a LOT of Wild Willy's in Nebraska, there are quite a few in Iowa as well.

According to their website, it looks like there are 25 locations. Mostly in western Iowa, along with 6 in the Des Moines area and 2 in the Cedar Rapids area.

If I had to guess, he was somewhere near Des Moines. After all, their tour gets started in Des Moines on April 25. That is some very, very early tour scouting. But if that's the case, that's why they are one of the best-selling bands out there now.
