John Paul White

Daytrotter

Wednesday, July 13, 8 p.m.

On July 13, independent singer/songwriter and four-time Grammy Award winner John Paul White performs a special concert at Davenport’s Daytrotter venue. Later this summer, on August 19, White will release his second solo album, Beulah, which features songs including “Make You Cry,” “I’ll Get Even,” and “Hate the Way You Love Me.” Just throwing those provocative-sounding titles out there in case you were somehow confusing John Paul with Pope John Paul.

Anthony D’Amato

Redstone Room

Thursday, June 30, 7:30 p.m.

In singer/songwriter Anthony D’Amato’s Web-site biography, we learn that when the Americana musician was on his way to an introductory meeting with famed record producer Mike Mogis, he accidentally overturned and totaled his rental car. Near the end of his tour for 2014’s Mogis-produced album The Shipwreck from the Shore, D’Amato broke his finger, and played the final two shows hopped up on Advil. In the video for “Golden Gloves” from his June 17 release Cold Snap, we find D’Amato getting repeatedly punched in the face by passers-by wearing boxing gloves.

I’m not suggesting that Anthony D’Amato is accident- or fistfight-prone. But when you see the acclaimed artist’s June 30 concert at Davenport’s Redstone Room, you may want to think about sitting in the back. You know, just in case.
