His repertoire boasting such top-five Billboard smashes as "Whiskey on You," "World on Fire," "Bulletproof," and "Fix What You Didn't Break," multi-platinum-selling country rockers Nate Smith headlines the July 30 grandstand concert at this year's Mississippi Valley Fair, his 2024 album California Gold lauded by Entertainment Focus as "a bold blend of country storytelling and bombastic '90s rock influences" that delivers "both nostalgic and fresh sounds across its 16 tracks."

With Blues Blast magazine calling his playing “speed-freak fast and clean and crisp” and Northwest Music Scene deeming him “a force to be reckoned with,” venerated rock guitarist, keyboardist, and singer Pat Travers brings his ensemble the Pat Travers Band to Davenport's Redstone Room on July 27, the high-energy trio playing from a repertoire of hits dating all the way back to Travers' self-titled 1976 debut.

Lauded by the Chicago Reader for their "wacky wordplay, tongue-twisting verses, and limber instrumentals," the Chicago-based hip-hop duo The Palmer Squares – composed of monikered musicians Acumental (Ac) and Term (Term K) – headline a July 25 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the touring artists also praised by RapReviews for their “talent for earworms and a willingness to let a song shine more than a verse."

Currently touring in support of his forthcoming debut album The Land on Most High, the September release boasting the singles "Azalea" and 'Lonestar," alternative rock, folk, and pop musician Jack Blocker makes his first headlining appearance at Davenport's Raccoon Motel on July 24, the singer/songwriter known for being a finalist on the 22nd season of American Idol.
