Held in honor of the City of Moline's Sesquicentennial, Moline Preservation Society Board member Brandon Tidwell will, on August 3, treat Moline Public Library patrons to three-quarters of the century worth of local history, sharing a fascinating tale of entrepreneurship and growth titled Molette: The American Dream Realized in Moline – Celebrating 75 years of Affordable Housing.

With the August 4 event taking place in collaboration with River Action and the Native American Coalition of the Quad Cities, Davenport's Figge Art Museum invites patrons to explore the history of the Mississippi River in our region in connection with the venue's Anne Lindberg: think like the river with poet Ginny Threefoot, the collaborative exhibition currently teaming the talents of a noted artist with those of a noted writer.

Touring in support of his fifth studio album Maybe We Never Die, which inspired a trio of Billboard singles in "Hood of My Car," "Drugs," and the number-12 hit "Madelyn," the chart-topping roots rocker Anderson East plays an August 4 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, displaying the musical gifts that led NPR to deem him “a perceptive record-maker and proven captivator of live crowds.”

With his credits including five studio albums, an EP, 14 music videos, and eight chart-topping singles on Billboard's Country Airplay chart -- i all in his first decade of professional performing -- singer/songwriter Dustin Lynch headlines the final grandstand concert in the 2022 Mississippi Valley Fair on August 7, his Blue in the Sky from earlier this year the country artist's fifth consecutive recording to land on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.
