With their most recent album High in the Saddle praised by Metal Temple as "crisp, resonating, and thick with bass which compliments Big Dad Ritch's vocals," the heavy-metal and southern-rock musicians of Texas Hippie Coalition headline a September 10 concert at East Moline venue The Rust Belt, their 2019 recording's song "Tongue Like a Devil" boasting what Maximum Volume Music called "a hook so big you could hang your barbecue on it."

Following successful indoor and outdoor performances at Davenport's River Music Experience Courtyard last summer and fall, the Quad Cities musicians and energetic talents of Heads in Motion return to Bettendorf venue The Tangled Wood on September 10, with the 10-piece ensemble paying tribute to Oscar, Grammy, and Tony Award winner David Byrne and his iconic rock outfit Talking Heads.

Touring in support of her forthcoming Loose Future, the title track for which was praised by Consequence of Sound as "a poignant ode to the unpredictability of life," indie-pop and folk singer/songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews headlines a September 2 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the artist's 2020 album Old Flowers – a Grammy nominee for Best Americana album – lauded by Rolling Stone for "Andrews' bell-clear voice and fearless message of introspection."

With its first major engagement following its name change from the TaxSlayer Center to the Vibrant Arena at the MARK, Moline's amphitheater will host three of the most successful and enduring acts in the history of rock on September 6, a night boasting the iconic, chart-topping talents of REO Speedwagon, Styx, and Loverboy.
