Held in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Miles Davis' seminal Kind of Blue, widely cited as the best-selling jazz record of all time, the latest presentation in Polyrhythms' Third Sunday Jazz Workshop and Matinée Series finds the Kind of Blue Tribute Band playing Davenport's Redstone Room on October 20 – a concert set honoring Davis' album achievement certified quadruple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

With the Washington Post deeming him “an incredibly modern and original next-generations bluesman” whose “tough vocals, guitar, and lap-steel touch on classic Chicago blues, Southern soul, and boogie,” blues artist Selwyn Birchwood performs an October 10 concert at Rock Island's Kavanaugh's Hilltop Bar & Grill, showcasing the talents that inspired Blues Matters to call the artist “a genius revelation and a pleasure.”

The Illinois-based, two-piece, grunge-metal unit Murnau visits Rozz-Tox on October 11, performing on the bill with Davenport-based gothic-psych band Giallows and Macomb-based alternative rock crew Chew Toy.

With GratefulWeb.com calling them “the true definition of road warriors, boasting over 20 shows a month,” the touring musicians of Jon Wayne & the Pain play an October 3 concert at Davenport's Redstone Room, sharing the exhilarating reggae stylings gifts that led The Pier to praise their output that “crosses genres with tracks that build from dub loops and explode into powerful party anthems.”
