Thursday, November 9, through Saturday, November 11
Village of East Davenport IA
Independent musicians from across the country, across the Atlantic, and here in the Quad Cities will gather for the Village of East Davenport's autumnal Gas Feed & Seed Festival – a three-day celebration hosted by Moeller Nights and taking place at the Village Theatre, Baked Bread & Beer Co., and additional locales throughout the Village.
The festival will kick-off on Thursday night with a farm-to-table feast served family-style and prepared by a select group of Midwestern chefs. Festival-goers and the invited talent will be seated together at long tables that allow for unique interaction, jump-starting a weekend of community, company, and inspiring performances that will cover every conceivable genre of music.
Thursday's scheduled artists include: Texas-based singer/songwriter Sarah Jaffe; Cory Chisel & Adriel Denea performing in support of their August release Tell Me True; Lauren Pritchard's solo project LOLO; Texas' indie-pop performer Soren Bryce; Missoula, Montana's Izaak Opatz; New York City's Coco Reilly; the alt-rock musicians of Detroit's Craig Brown Band; Philadelphia's alt-country ensemble Small Houses; Maryland folk artist Keenan O'Meara; and Denver-based rocker Bud Bronson.
In addition to sets with the aforementioned Bronson, Opatz, Bryce, and LOLO, Friday's lineup includes: Milwaukee-based rapper Carti Bankx; psychedelic rockers Okey Dokey; Massachusetts-based indie rockers And the Kids; Kalmia Traver's solo project Kalbells; Nashville's J. Eric Wilson with his solo project Yon Ort; fellow Nashville alt-rockers Spookyghostboy; and, adding some comedy to the mix, Park View, Iowa's touring standup Luke Swanson.
Okey Dokey, Yon Ort, Spookyghostboy, Coco Reilly, and Keenan O'Meara will all also play the Village on Saturday, with additional sets to be performed by: the Quad Cities' own indie-rock band Subatlantic; mother/son folk duo Madisen Ward & the Mama Bear; the Georgia-based duo of Pony Bradshaw; Jessica Viscius with her Chicago project Bunny; Austin, Texas' country artists Carson McHope and Abram Shook; New York pop/folk performer Luke Temple; the Kalamazoo, Michigan rockers of The Go Rounds; Milwaukee alt-county ensemble Buffalo Gospel; the country musicians of Denver, Colorado's Porlolo; Nebraska's rock outfit Twinsmith; the Nashville-based three-piece Harpooner; Michigan's indie-folk group Watching for Foxes; London-born singer/songwriter Domino Kirke, whose Beyond Waves was released in August; and Domino's sister Lola Kirke, who juggles music and acting careers as a star of TV's Mozart in the Jungle, and who has also appeared in Mistress America and David Fincher's Gone Girl.
