A day-long celebration of deaf culture filled with entertainers, activities, and an evening Redstone Room concert, the November 2 event Experience Deaf QC will showcase the talents of, and opportunities for, those challenged by disparate degrees of hearing loss, with showcase guest Aarron Loggins familiar from performing the National Anthem and “America the Beautiful” at this year's Super Bowl alongside Gladys Knight.

Praised by the Ottawa Citizen as “an exceptionally cohesive band that has internalized all of the music's intricacies,” Canada's Allison Au Quartet serves as the latest guests in Quad City Arts Visiting Artists series, their October 29 through November 2 area performances showcasing the jazzy talents of a bandleader whom All About Jazz calls “a marvelous composer of engaging, accessible, and melodic tunes.”

An early member of REO Speedwagon whose guitar playing was described by the Michigan Daily as “B.B. King played through Jimi Hendrix (with a touch of Andy Gill), blues guitarist, songwriter, vocalist, and humorist Duke Tumatoe plays Davenport's Redstone Room on November 1, sharing the talents that have enabled the Chicago native to open for the legendary likes of Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, George Thorogood, and John Fogerty.

Performing from a repertoire that includes such classics as “Uncle John's Band,” “Truckin,” “Alabama Getaway,” and the chart-topping “Touch of Grey,” the rockers of The Schwag return to the Rock Island Brewing Company on November 2, appearing locally in their 28th year as professional Grateful Dead tribute artists.
