Performing in a rare Polyrhythms concert event held in addition to the organization's monthly Third Sunday Jazz Workshop & Matinée series, the acclaimed artists of the Laurence Hobgood Trio take the stage at Rock Island's Sound Conservatory Music Academy & Shoppe on May 28, the group lauded by the Chicago Tribune for delivering “power without noise, energy without haste, drama without overstatement.”

With their 2022 album Wait lauded by Americana UK as "an incredible offering" in which "the songs incorporate heartfelt topical lyrics while embracing old school Texan music," the folk and alt-country talents of Grady Spencer & the Work headline a June 1 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, their newest release also praised by Creative Loafing Atlanta as a work in which "leanly arranged, tight guitars meld together with deep funk grooves to create a sound that is vaguely familiar yet excitingly new."

An unmistakable performer who led a pop-culture phenomenon to a dozen top-20 singles, four chart-topping albums, and two Emmy Awards, Micky Dolenz brings his concert event The Voice of the Monkees to Davenport's Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center on May 20, the musician's lauded touring event allowing the artist to draw on his diverse background in television, film, and the Broadway stage.

The rare touring outfit that can boast raves from both Metal Planet Music (which deems the ensemble "a phenomenal heavy rock band and worthy of your full attention") and Jesus Freak Hideout (which states that "they continue to rock hard and move at a breakneck pace"), Stryper headlines a May 20 concert at East Moline venue The Rust Belt, the Grammy-nominated and Dove Award Winning group famed for such Billboard-charting hits as “Calling on You,” “Honestly,” and “Always There for You.”
