Mississippi Valley Blues Festival

LeClaire Park

Thursday, July 3, through Saturday, July 5

 

It makes perfect sense that the very first musicians to play 2014's Mississippi Valley Blues Festival in LeClaire Park - which begins at 5 p.m. on July 3 - are the members of the Johnny Kilowatt Band, because this year's lineup of artists is downright electric! (Okay, granted, that's a terrible joke, but if you've been reading me for a while now, you know they can get way worse.)

Rock Island Brewing Company

Friday, May 16, 8 p.m.

 

On May 16, the Rock Island Brewing Company presents a special concert with Laura Jane Grace, the lead vocalist of the punk-rock ensemble Against Me! who famously came out as a transgender woman in 2012. But anyone who worried that the band might have consequently softened its touch on the songs for January's Transgender Dysphoria Blues needn't fear. "Two Coffins"? "F---mylife666"? "Osama bin Laden as the Crucified Christ"? Sounds pretty damned punk to me.
