An elegant evening at Davenport's Figge Art Museum and one of the most annually popular fundraising events in the Quad Cities, this year's Soirée: A Night in Italy will, on October 19, find Quad City Symphony Orchestra musicians Emily Nash, Madelin Capistran, Bruno Vaz Da Sila, and Laura Shaw performing in a special event boasting a cocktail hour, dinner, and live auction with Maestro Mark Russell Smith as auctioneer to benefit the QCSO’s education programs.

Touring in support of their fifth and most recent album Elsewhere, a work that Kerrang! said "sees the band experimenting even more and wearing their varied influences on their sleeves, whether it's R&B, hip-hop, or 2000s pop," pop-rock outfit Set It Off headlines an October 19 concert at Davenport's Redstone Room, their latest recording also inspiring Crucial Rhythm to state that the musicians "continue to prove they have plenty left in the tank, and they're here to stay."

Famed for their avant-garde sound and horror film-inspired imagery that features masks and costumes, the alternative-metal musicians of Mushroomhead headline an October 22 concert at East Moline venue The Rust Belt, their August release Call the Devil hailed by New Noise Magazine as "intense and riveting, with ballads and mind-blowing bangers for the loyal fans and new listeners."

Headlining a celebration of the soul and R&B legend who scored 11 consecutive RIAA-certified platinum albums and sold over 40 million records worldwide, Chicago artist Brandon James brings his Luther Vandross tribute to Davenport's Redstone Room, the October 19 concert sure to boast beloved hits including "Never Too Much," "Here and Now," "Any Love," "Power of Love/Love Power," "I Can Make It Better," and "For You to Love."
