Beau Nystrom is an Iowa-based singer, songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist with nearly two decades of experience entertaining crowds across the Midwest and beyond. Since first breaking onto the Des Moines music scene in 2006, Beau has earned a reputation for strong vocals, versatile musicianship, and delivering polished, crowd-focused performances.
Beau first gained recognition as a founding member of Douglas Acres, whose rise began after winning the People’s Battle of the Bands. The band went on to release two albums and perform throughout the region and across multiple states.
He later helped form Rebyl Road alongside Iowa singer-songwriter Robbie Michael, releasing an album and touring as both a headlining independent act and support for national touring artists.
In addition to his work as a frontman and songwriter, Beau has become a sought-after guitarist on the Iowa live music circuit, performing with respected Iowa artists including Jason Brown, Cody Hicks, and currently with Mike Moody & The Outlaws, winners of the 2025 Iowa Music Awards Best Cover Band in Iowa.
Today, Beau brings all of that experience to his solo performances—delivering a full-band sound through professional backing tracks while performing live vocals and guitar in real time. His versatile setlist blends country, rock, southern rock, blues, crowd favorites, and original music, making him an ideal fit for bars, patios, private events, weddings, festivals, and corporate gatherings.
