• This Thursday will feature a couple of homecomings at some local taverns. The Ernie Peniston Band reunites for an August 9 show at O'Meara's Pub in Bettendorf. Bo Butler, Joe Collins, and Tony Carton will join Peniston (front man for the Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings) to perform blues tunes from his Quad Cities days. The show starts at 8 p.m., and cover will be $4. On that same date, former Quad Citians (and current chiropractors) Bill Rector and Joe Dockery will play at Dalton's in downtown Davenport. Rector played with the country-rock band Sneaky Feelin' in the mid-'70s, while Dockery played in Deaf Bob and Spike. As you might expect, Palmer College's Lyceum is the cause of the reunion.
