Appearing locally in his final touring production, writer/comedian Joel Hodgon brings his trademark sardonic wit and red jumpsuit to Davenport's Adler Theatre in the November 3 presentation Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live: The Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour, offering an unforgettable night of enormous laughs, audience interaction, beloved characters, and astoundingly bad films.

Known and loved for such fan favorites as “Whiskey Man,” “Edge of Sundown,” “Fall of the Peacemakers,” and their signature smash “Flirtin' with Disaster,” the hard-rock and Southern-metal musicians of Molly Hatchet lay an eagerly awaited concert at East Moline venue the Rust Belt on November 1, with new lead vocalist Jimmy Elkins joining the venerated group on one of its first tour stops since the April passing of bandmate Phil McCormick.

Treating patrons to what the Atlanta Journal deemed “a healthy dose of hard-driving Texas blues, a touch of horn-fat Southern soul, and a splash of old-fashioned roots rock,” Mike Morgan & the Crawl play the Moline Viking Club on November 1 in a concert presented by the Mississippi Valley Blues Society, the event sure to prove, as stated in Blues Review magazine, that “Morgan always gives fans their money's worth – and then more.”

Described by Rolling Stone as performing “heartland rock in the vein of working-class heroes John Mellencamp and Tom Petty, but distinguished by a power-pop sheen,” the Cerny Brothers – Sherrard, Illinois natives Robert and Scott – play East Moline's The Rust Belt on November 2 in support of their most recent album Looking for the Good Land, a work NoDepression.com called “an artifact in realism and artistic translation of all the feelings that there are no words for.”
