All IDEAS attendees are welcome! Join us for an exciting night with the Raw Nerve Band.
THE RAW NERVE isn’t your typical classic rock band—they’re a full-throttle, nine-piece rock machine powered by dentists!
The story began in 1989, when five newly minted graduates from the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry decided that dental meetings needed a little more bite. While attending Nebraska Dental Association gatherings together, they cooked up a bold idea: form a band and rock the NDA Christmas party. What started as a one-night experiment turned into a show-stopping hit—and a band that’s still going strong 36 years later.
Since that first unforgettable performance, The Raw Nerve has taken their high-energy classic rock show to dental meetings across the country, from Alaska to Florida and everywhere in between. Along the way, they’ve grown into a dynamic nine-piece band, delivering big sound, big fun, and unforgettable performances.
The Raw Nerve loves playing for colleagues and fans of all ages and can’t wait to bring the party to Iowa’s dental professionals. Get ready to rock, sing along, and have a fabulous time—this is one dental band that really hits the nerve.
