A Grammy Award nominee whose chart-topping singles include "No Doubt About It" and "Wink" from his platinum-certified album No Doubt About It, country singer Neal McCoy brings his national tours to Davenport's Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center on August 31, his repertoire also boasting such top-10 Billboard smashes as “The City Put the Country Back in Me,” “For a Change,” “The Shake,” and “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye.”

An evening of thunderous, high-powered rock is guaranteed at the Rust Belt on September 5, the East Moline venue proud to host a pair of thrilling co-headlining acts: KK's Priest, featuring original Judas Priest musician K.K. Downing, and Accept, who have been thrilling fans as rock trailblazers for close to 50 years.

With his 2023 album Swing Your Lanterns hailed by Stereo Embers Magazine's Dave Cantrell as "blistering, elegiac, funky, rocking, and reflective," punk and rock legend Ivan Julian headlines a special August 30 event at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the artist lauded, beyond his solo work, for being the guitarist, singer/songwriter, and founding member of Richard Hell & the Voidoids and Lovelies.

Two increasingly acclaimed alternative-indie outfits will share the stage at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, on September 3, with the talents of Veaux touring in support of their recent singles and debut EP Still Awake, and the Foxies appearing while promoting new songs and albums such as 2020's Who Are You Now, Who Were You Then?

A pair of rising indie-music talents will separately headline a pair of August 31 concert events at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, with the afternoon treating venue guests to the alternative pop of YouTube sensation Carter Vail, and the evening bringing audiences an intimate experience with acclaimed guitarist/vocalist Cole Chaney.

Delivering everything from period-accurate equipment and costumes to spot-on characterizations and musical performances, the vocal and instrumental artists of Rumours bring The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute Show to Galesburg's Orpheum Theatre on September 5, sharing memorable takes on “Big Love,” “Don't Stop,” “Go Your Own Way,” and other pop classics of their era.

If we don't see what happened, we must depend on what others say is the truth. But the truth isn't always visible. Does "the truth" depend on how many witnesses? Their reliability; their knowledge; their agenda?

M: Not to complain too much about the adaptation itself, but I think there’s a strange move to make Hyde’s attacks justifiable. He embodies emotional impulses that the hypocritical Victorian establishment, incarnated in the hospital board, doesn’t want to let free. But at this point, this makes Hyde look righteously indignant rather than evil.

K: I definitely agree with that. In the musical, Hyde becomes almost like Jekyll’s Tyler Durden.
