The trademark tenor of Russell Hitchcock's soaring voice and Graham Russell's simple yet majestic songs created a unique sound that would forever be known as Air Supply, and on August 1, the band's co-founders will bring their "50th-Anniversary Celebration Tour" to Bettendorf's Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention Center, their collection of iconic, adored hits including such pop staples as "All Out of Love," "Making Love Out of Nothing at All," and "Every Woman in the World."

On August 2, this year's Mississippi Valley Fair will offer a two-fer of alternative rock and post-grunge with its fifth grandstand concert of the summer: a co-headlining event featuring Lit, whose top-10 Billboard hits include "Miserable," "Lipstick & Bruises," and the chart-topping "My Own Worst Enemy," and Pop Evil, their own Billboard smashes including the number-one singles "Trenches," "Torn to Pieces," and "Deal with the Devil."

Lauded by the Charleston City Paper as its "Singer/Songwriter of the Year," and praised for "deftly blending an array of influences that nod toward crooning pop-rock in the vein of Chris Isaak or Roy Orbison, the theatrical roots-rock excess of Bruce Springsteen, and the dark post-punk romanticism of Echo & the Bunnymen," Johnny Delaware performs a solo concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel on August 2, the artist also famed for his tenures with the alt-rockers of Susto and The Artisanals.

A high-energy ensemble boasting some of the sharpest musical talents the area has to offer, 10 of Soul headlines an August 1 concert in The Tangled Wood's Summer Concert Series, their Bettendorf set sure to boast classic tunes from the genres of soul, funk, and blues, as well as a few funky arrangements of their own.
