A multi-instrumentalist and award-winning vocalist who hosts her own TV series, polka sensation Mollie B, her ensemble Squeezebox, and fellow instrumentalist Ted Lange play a special May 6 concert event at Maquoketa's Ohnward Fine Arts Center, the headliner a veteran of more than 40 recordings who has thus far performed in more than 30 states and nearly a dozen countries worldwide.

For those seeking a change from the traditional landscape of the Quad Cities, Bettendorf's Beréskin Gallery & Art Academy will, through June 30, house a representational exhibition of water, sky, volcanic rock, and white structures in It's All Greek to Me: Island Impressions by Robert Zeidler, a collection of never-before-seen works inspired by the artist's recent travels to Greece and the Aegean Sea.

Playing the Maquoketa venue in support of their latest EP Four Songs and most recent album OHBAHOY – a collection described by Maximum Volume Music as “such a staggeringly diverse 11 songs that you can only marvel at it” – the Rockford, Illinois-based talents of Miles Nielsen & the Rusted Hearts headline a May 7 concert event at the Codfish Hollow Barn, the band sure to deliver what Americana-UK calls “smooth, well-written, and well-produced power-pop packages.”

Lauded by Broadway World as a production that “will delight fans of Christie's mysteries” and “keeps the audiences guessing as to who the murderer is right up until the very end,” author Leslie Darbon's Agatha Christie A Murder Is Announced enjoys a May 6 through 15 run at Moline's Playcrafters Barn Theatre, this tale of twists and turns, mistaken identities, and purposeful deceptions featuring one of Christie's most beloved characters in the figure of amateur sleuth Miss Jane Marple.
