On August 21, guests of Davenport's Figge Art Museum are invited to enjoy a closer look at two current exhibitions – Future Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks and Cats! – in the docent-guided Exhibition Tour Night, with the 30-minute tours repeating in order for patrons to attend either or both, as well as enjoy live music, drinks, and food options.

With the program offered as part of the Davenport venue's popular "Kaffee und Kuchen" series, Iowa City-based artists, collectors, and educators David and Sarojini Johnson engage in an August 10 gallery talk on their current German American Heritage Center exhibit, the couple having spent decades sharing and practicing the art of printmaking, each with their own unique vision and inspiration.

A five-time Grammy Award winner who was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame and earned the Americana Music Awards Lifetime Achievement for Performance, blues-rock legend Robert Cray brings his band's national tour to Davenport's Capitol Theatre on August 9, the artist's ensemble having previously shared stages with the iconic likes of Albert Collins, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, and Eric Clapton.

With her most recent recording Modern Age hailed by Glide magazine as "a deeply nostalgic, sometimes melancholy, but ultimately charmingly sweet album," Nashville-based singer/songwriter Jill Andrews headlines an August 8 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the artist's 2023 release also inspiring Americana Highways to rave, "All of it makes us smile, tear up, and think of days gone by, all at once."
