Who was Wendy Hull?
Wendy, Des Moines, was a kind soul who loved music and supported the local music scene vigorously. Her love and support for musicians are incomparable to anything.
For a city’s music scene to thrive it must be embraced by members of the community, and few fans have helped champion the scene in Des Moines better than Wendy Hull.
Wendy has had a deep love for music her whole life, began attending live shows in Des Moines in August 2010, and hasn’t stopped since.
She has attended over 900 live shows since 2012 (when she began keeping track), and her passion fueled her to start Wednesday’s Notes, a blog dedicated to keeping readers informed about local music.
She is also a member of Historic Valley Junction’s Music in the Junction Committee. Wendy’s dedication to supporting, promoting, and advocating for Des Moines bands, their shows and tireless efforts to make our music scene great have earned her Fan of the Year Award(2015)
She left her mark in such a great uplifting and special way. May peace be with her family, with her friends, and with the music scene she loved so much.

I am in complete shock from the news of your passing Wendy! We met 4 years ago doing what we love, & what is part of who we are! Supporting, & promoting our amazing local musicians! I’m truly going to miss our little chats about what venues we went to, & what bands we saw every weekend. Exchanging info about a band one or the other had not seen yet! I looked forward to your messages each & every day, about who was playing where each day! We both also just realized at the start of this month, that our birthdays were 1 day apart, mine the 3rd, yours the 4th, and joked about how Gemini’s rule, & are the most artistic & kindest of all the signs! I’m so truly going to miss your kind words, hugs, & smile! You were a great inspiration to all who were blessed with knowing you! R.I.P. my dear musical friend! I’m sure a “Wednesdays Notes” is already in the works in heaven! Love you Wendy!
