Providing insight into our country’s past through the work of revered American artists including Thomas Cole, Severin Roesen, Albert Bierstadt, and John Frederick Kensett, the Figge Art Museum's current exhibition The Warner Foundation Collection: History in the Painting will be celebrated in an opening program on July 7, the Davenport venue's event boasting appetizers, a cash bar, and presentations by a number of special guest speakers.

Now touring the country in their incredible 40th year of professional performance, the hard rockers and glam-metal musicians of L.A. Gun play East Moline venue the Rust Belt in support of their 2021 album Checkered Past, a recording that led Blues Rock Review to rave, "It takes a special band to maintain a consistent sound without sounding stale."

Although currently touring without two of its longtime members – bassist vocalist Josh Gilbert, who left the group in May, and drummer Jordan Mancino, who departed in early June – the Grammy-nominated metalcore musicians of As I Lay Dying will surely show no signs of slowing down during their July 5 set at East Moline venue the Rust Belt, touring the nation now in support of the band's most recent album Shaped by Fire.

A consistently popular and lauded presence on the Midwestern touring circuit, beloved folk singer/songwriter Cody Diekhoff – better known by his recording alias Chicago Farmer – plays a July 10 concert at Donald J's Poor House Tap in Eldridge with his ensemble The Field Notes, the artist a soulful crooner and guitarist who inspired No Depression to rave, “If the Midwest is looking for a voice, the search is over.”
