Lauded by legendary composer and EGOT (Emmy/Grammy/Oscar/Tony) recipient Marvin Hamlisch, who said of the ensemble “I can't imagine better ambassadors for our country,” the United States Army's premier big-band outfit the Jazz Ambassadors headline an April 17 concert presented by Quad Cities Arts, the group's April 17 Davenport engagement demonstrating why the musicians have earned acclaim both at home and abroad while performing America’s original art form.

Performing in a special concert co-presented by Common Chord and the Mississippi Valley Blues Society, Chris O'Leary and his opener Kevin Burt bring a night of exhilarating blues to Davenport's Redstone Room on April 11, the former lauded as the lead singer and front man for Grammy winner Levon Helm’s band The Barnburners, and the latter a Midwestern talent praised by Blues Matters as "vocally exquisite and "musically phenomenal."

With their March release Big Ugly hailed by Americana Highways as "a big, riffy record full of Southern observations" that "may just end up being this year’s best album," the alternative-country talents of Fust headline an April 12 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the musicians from North Carolina also praised by Post-Trash for their "inescapable sense of wonder and excitement that's both exhilarating and full of charm."

With the artist's 2023 debut Don't You Dare Make Me Jaded lauded by Americana UK as "highly accomplished and noteworthy" and its creator "a voice to reckon with," contemporary-folk singer/songwriter Olive Klug headlines an April 16 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the artist touring in support of their upcoming April album Lost Dog and currently amassing more than 8 million streams on tracks including “Raining In June."
