A consistently popular and lauded presence on the Midwestern touring circuit, beloved folk singer/songwriter Cody Diekhoff – better known by his recording alias Chicago Farmer – headlines an October 13 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the artist a soulful crooner and guitarist who inspired No Depression to rave, “If the Midwest is looking for a voice, the search is over.”

Continuing the organization's run of arresting and joyous Third Sunday Jazz Workshop & Matinée Series concert events held in Bettendorf's Rivermont Collegiate, Polyrhythms presents an October 16 engagement with the talented musicians of Dushun Mosley’s “Trioverse” Band, a three-man ensemble composed of Rodderrick Pierre Pollard III, Steven C. Manns Jr., and percussionist bandleader Mosley.

Performing a tribute to the iconic artist behind chart-topping albums Tapestry, Music, and Wrap Around Joy, acclaimed vocalist Adrianne Hall will celebrate the artistry of Carole King in Davenport's Rhythm City Casino Resort Rhythm Room on October 14, a night also featuring classic rock, pop, and soul hits by area favorites The Tailfins.

Presented on October 7 in collaboration with the area collective “My Arts Voice,” Voices Behind the Art will fuse visual and musical art in a showcase of more than a half-dozen Midwestern talents. The event stands as the latest cultural offering by Common Chord, the Davenport venue previously known as River Music Experience. And as Executive Director Tyson Danner explains, the institution's new moniker isn't the signal for a new direction for the former RME: “The name change has been the end of the process, really."
