Reneta Delivers Engaging Performance at the Iowa State Fair

We're kickin' off our coverage of the Iowa State Fair on Sunday, August 12th with Nashville trio, Renta performing on the MidAmerica Stage.

You may know them from Matt's Family Jam, however after residing in Nashville, TN the children Collin, Adrienne and Benny are pursuing a musical path with their country/rock trio, Renata.

While watching their set, they delivered strong vocals and instrumental skills far surpassing their young ages. They provided fans an engaging performance with a mix of covers from The Band Perry to Little Big Town while staying true to their roots and showcasing their original music written since residing in Nashville, TN.

I sat down with the trio to chat about their debut self-titled album, "Renata".

"This is the first album since the move from Branson to Nashville. We really wanted to showcase the ability showcased in our shows as well as the original music we've written since moving to Nashville." explains Collin.

If Matt's Family Jam or Renata is in your area, I certainly promise you that you won't be disappointed. They trio grab the attention of the audience with their blending vocals and their musical abilities.
