Touring in support of their 2024 album Mudglimmer, a recording whose title track was lauded by Flood magazine as "a patient and unyielding jazz-funk-rock exercise landing somewhere between Tortoise and Pavement," the indie artists of The Slaps headline a January 29 engagement at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the group's 2022 album Tomato Tree additionally hailed by Under the Radar as "showcasing the band’s winding instrumental sprawl and effortless chemistry."

Four distinct, up-and-coming Midwestern acts will share one night of indie entertainment at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, with the venue hosting individual sets with Joytrip, Baron von Future, Calculated, and Nobletiger on January 30.

Designed to offer the magical chance to see our national symbol in its natural habitat, the third-annual LeClaire Eagle Festival sponsored in part by the Riverboat Twilight will, on January 18 and 19, treat visitors to live eagle demonstrations and educational presentations, as well as opportunities to spot bald eagles in their natural habitat high above the Mississippi River.

A lauded selection at 2024 events including the DC Environmental Film Festival, the New York African Film Festival, and SXSW EDU, director Mark Decena's Farming While Black serves as the second presentation in this year's QC Environmental Film Series hosted by River Action, its January 26 presentation at Davenport's Figge Art Museum treating patrons to what Civil Eats deemed "a unique and enthralling perspective on an often overlooked aspect of the American dream.”
