Radio birthday: Former Federal Communications Commissioner Nicholas Johnson, who teaches law at the University of Iowa, plans to discuss both the origins and future of community radio at 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, at the First United Methodist Church in downtown Ames. The event is part of a big to-do to celebrate the third anniversary of Ames’ little station that could, KHOI-FM 89.1, whose fans plan to re-group after the lecture for a 4:30 p.m. reception at Bar La Tosca, just around the corner.

New hall of famer: Hoyt Sherman (1827-1904) had some pretty illustrious older brothers – a federal judge, a U.S. senator, a Civil War general – but only Hoyt was a rock-and-roller. Sort of.

Hoyt Sherman Place, the classy 1923 brick theater named in his honor, will be inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame over Labor Day weekend at the hall’s headquarters in Arnolds Park. The Des Moines theater, which is managed by the Ames-based company VenuWorks, is being honored for showcasing local and touring musicians alike.

National buzz: Two Des Moines-based artists lit up the art world’s radar this week. Larassa Kabel’s photo-realistic drawings were featured in this month’s Juxtapoz magazine, and Jordan Weber’s curatorial debut with the show “Make Their Gold Teeth Ache” (at Moberg Gallery through Aug. 22) was featured in Hyperallergic, which claims to be “the world’s greatest art blogazine.” The article was written by Lenore Metrick-Chen, who teaches art history at Drake University.

Jazzy granny: The Chicago jazz singer and Indianola native Rose Colella plans to come home for a concert at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Vaudeville Mews to sing a few tunes form her new album, Cocktail.” She represents about 30 Chicago jazz musicians with her production company, Lola Bard, which she named for her jazz-singing grandmother, who used to hang out with Ella Fitzgerald.
