Performing in support of their most recent album Odd Boat, a release that SoundRenaissance.net called “a gem of our time” for its “infusion of melodic punk and anthemic rock n’ roll,” the Chicago-based musicians of Flatfoot 56 perform at the Redstone Room on January 26, filling the Davenport venue with what IndieVisionMusic.com called “their rambunctious style that their fans have come to love.”

Nashville’s The Medium brings its baroque strain of '60s-worshipping indie pop/rock to the Triple Crown Whiskey Bar & Raccoon Motel on January 30. Seemingly born in a basement closet full of dusty British Invasion LPs, The Medium apparently surveyed all of what the U.K. had to offer in the mid-20th Century and settled on a sound somewhere between the tracks that appear on the A-side of Magical Mystery Tour and, well, the tracks that appear on the B-side of Magical Mystery Tour.

Singer/songwriter Lillie West helms the Chicago-based grunge-rock/dream-pop project Lala Lala (playing Rozz-Tox on January 21) from the persona of the disaffected slacker youth who is quite capable – perhaps secretly, and to her own chagrin – of putting in some serious work to untangle her life’s problems.

Armed with iconic hits such as “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin' into the Night,” and “Caught Up in You,” the touring musicians of 38 Special bring their singular brand of exhilarating Southern rock to Davenport's Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center on January 19, continuing the legacy of the band's four-decades-plus history in the company of 38 Special vocalist/guitarist Don Barnes, who began with the group in 1975.
