Currently in tour in support of their sophomore album Last Chance to Win, a recording that Americana Highways called "superb with its Goose Creek Symphony air and Charlie Gearhart-style vocals," the bluegrass and pop-rock musicians of East Nash Grass headline a May 4 engagement at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the California Bluegrass Association adding that, in their 2023 release, the band "manages to make each song a special gem with striking instrumental blends and harmony vocals."

With his most recent release Silently, the Mind Breaks hailed by No Depression as an "unsettling yet invigorating album" that blends "banjo, acoustic guitar, and kick drum with gritty, determined vocals," folk, blues, and alt-country singer/songwriter William Elliott Whitmore returns to Maquoketa's Codfish Hollow Barn on May 3, the artist's latest also inspiring Everything Is Noise to state that the artist "sings with a gravitas indictive of the very best blues and folk singers."

Treating audiences to the deep bass-baritone voice, mannerisms, pompadour, and charming persona that made him one of history's greatest entertainers, award-winning tribute artist Jonathan Lyons takes audiences back in time with his polished tribute to "The Man In Black" in Cry! Cry! Cry! A Musical Tribute to Johnny Cash, the exhilarating stage show landing at Mt. Carroll's Timber Lake Playhouse on May 3.

With their album EXTC! released April 4, the recording inspiring Medium to rave that "the clarity of the vocals, upon the addicting and ever-changing thrum of the beat, is a marvel in the production of modern music," EXTC: XTC’s Terry Chambers & Friends headlines an April 30 Redstone Room concert co-presented by Ragged Records and sponsored by Planet 93.9, bringing Chambers, Steve Hampton, and Terry Lines to Davenport on the band's "North American Cushty Tour 2025."
