Described by PopMatters as “a winning songwriter who manages to mix humor with traditional country sentiment without falling into hokey pastiche,” Nashville's Alex Williams performs a headlining engagement at Davenport's Raccoon Motel on January 24, his 2022 album Waging Peace lauded by Saving Country Music as "a seasoned and sensational specimen of Outlaw-style country music rendered in the modern context."

Touring in support of their 2024 album Mudglimmer, a recording whose title track was lauded by Flood magazine as "a patient and unyielding jazz-funk-rock exercise landing somewhere between Tortoise and Pavement," the indie artists of The Slaps headline a January 29 engagement at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the group's 2022 album Tomato Tree additionally hailed by Under the Radar as "showcasing the band’s winding instrumental sprawl and effortless chemistry."
