In the classical-theatre organization's annual production dedicated to showcasing young talent, seven gifted high schoolers will present a workshop production of Genesius Guild's Sounds & Sweet Airs, the July 6 through 14 entertainment in Rock Island's Lincoln Park boasting songs, scenes, and soliloquies by the legendary William Shakespeare.

Boasting 15 songs that have reached the top 10 on Billboard's Adult Alternative Airplay list, and with the group's most recent album Exit Wounds lauded by Mojo as the outfit's "best original work by some yards," the Wallflowers headline a July 9 concert at Davenport's Capitol Theatre, the band's collection of chart-topping hits including "One Headlight," "Sleepwalker," and "When You're on Top."

Her 2024 singles including the hits "Country's Cool Again and "Go Home W U" (with Keith Urban), chart-topping country singer/songwriter Lainey Wilson performs a July 7 engagement in the John Deere Classic's "Concerts on the Course" series, the artist's number-one Billboard smashes including "Things a Man Oughta Know," "Heart Like a Truck," and "Wildflowers & Wild Horses."

Their most recent recording Lightlessness Is Nothing New praised by Pitchfork as a work that "captures how absence can become a radiating presence that infiltrates and upends every aspect of life," the alternative rockers of Maps & Atlases headline a July 5 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, with AllMusic adding that the record finds its artists "remaining faithful to their past while eyeing their future."
