Boasting an array of stunning tunes that capture the spirit and brilliance of one of the all-time-great American composers, Gershwin: A Birthday Celebration Performance will be presented at Moline's Sound Conservatory on September 28, the special encore performance (of the September 14 concert) dedicated to the genius responsible for timeless works including 1924's Rhapsody in Blue, 1928's An American in Paris, the songs "Embraceable You" and "Fascinating Rhythm," and the opera Porgy and Bess.

Nominated for more than a dozen Grammy Awards and winner of three Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, singing/songwriting superstar and Grand Ole Opry member Dierks Bentley brings his “Gravel & Gold Tour” to Moline's Vibrant Arena at the MARK on September 20, his 2023 Gravel & Gold inspiring AllMusic to rave that "when combined with the occasional barn burner, such as the jocular bluegrass closer 'High Note,'" the album "delivers a recipe for a good time."

Returning to the Moline venue in support of their new album Kinetica, Alice Cooper's daughter Calico Cooper and longtime bassist Chuck Garric bring their heavy-metal ensemble Beastö Blancö to Rascals Live on September 21, performing from a repertoire that includes the band's 2019 album We Are, a work that Metal-Temple.com called “Mötley Crüe meets White Zombie meets the heavy-metal period of Alice Cooper back in the 2000s."

Touring in support of his 2024 release Sweet Critters, which No Depression hailed as an album of " intoxicating melodies, percussive lyrics, and peerless craftsmanship," folk singer/songwriter Caleb Caudle brings his tour to Davenport's Raccoon Motel on September 21, the artist's previous recording Forsythia lauded by Americana Highways as "an album that is not only one of this year’s best, but one that stands as a wonderful aural document for our times."
