Praised by Top40-Charts for their "thoughtful lyrics, powerful hooks, dynamic stage show, and obsessive hard work," the Canadians indie rockers of Autopilot headline a September 19 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the popular outfit also hailed by Top40-Charts as a group that "somehow seem to effortlessly walk the line between passionate art and massive appeal."

Currently touring in support of their 2024 album Contractual Obligations, a recording that The Grateful Web praised as a "wildly life-affirming portrait of growing older without losing heart," the alternative rockers of Deer Tick headline a September 8 concert at Maquoketa's Codfish Hollow Barn, their latest recording also inspiring Mxdwn Music to rave that "each song has a story that opens up new emotions simultaneously through powerful lyricism and a passionate production."

With his live show described as a "blues punk guitar dance party," and the artist having enjoyed frequent tours of North America, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Taiwan, and Iceland, experimental rocker Bob Log III headlines a September 6 concert event at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the artist famed for donning a full-body human-cannonball sui and a helmet wired to a telephone receiver, which allows him to devote his hands and feet to guitar and drums.

With the Mississippi Valley Blues Society presenting the concert in partnership with the 2024 Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix, a pair of thrilling, Chicago-based blues acts take the outdoor stage of Rock Island's Schwiebert Park in the final presentations of the MVBS's summer season: an afternoon set with the high-energy talents of the Sean McKee Band, and an evening set with the equally gifted artists of the Kilborn Alley Blues Band.
