In addition to being adored for his rock, pop, blues, and seasonal hits, Elvis Presley was, of course, one of the world's most beloved interpreters of gospel, and much of The King's iconic output will be heard when the Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse hosts two October 14 performances of How Great Thou Art: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley, a thrilling touring production boasting the talents of famed impersonator Robert Shaw and his Lonely Street Band.

With the band's newest album hailed by Our Culture magazine as “their most cohesive and inviting effort to date, reaching for the kind of sweeping arrangements that also render it their most rewarding,” the indie rockers of Wild Pink play an October 8 headlining concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, their new A Billion Little Lights also hailed by Stereogum as “one of the most exquisitely pretty rock albums in recent memory.”

A lauded touring project by singer/songwriter Jason Singer, Michigander plays an October 12 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the artist noted for performing music that, in the words of the River Cities' Reader's Max Allison, “carries a kind of universality that extends beyond the Midwest region to encompass any spot in which someone might feel fundamentally out of place, heartbroken, or – alternately – exactly in the place he or she belongs.”

Lauded by World Music Report as an “energetic and ingenious musician and drummer” whose music “is a boiling and bubbling cauldron of African Highlife and every other kind of rhythmic style,” Afro-fusion percussionist and composer Paa Kow plays Davenport's Redstone Room in a Guest List Series co-presentation with Quad City Arts, the free October 7 event sure to prove why Modern Ghana calls the performer “Ghana's most artistic drummer.”
