DAVENPORT, IOWA (August 13, 2021) — As the times remain crazy, we're doing everything we can to keep bringing great artists to the Quad Cities and it's been a big week for new announcements as we've added shows with Susto (a rare and special solo set from Justin Osborne — August 21), Hembree/Desert Noises (August 28), a record release show with Petey (September 12, which also features James Austin Johnson and Bon Iver collaborators 81355), LALA LALA (April 13, 2022), and the return of Joshua Ray Walker (November 1 — which can't happen soon enough after his jaw-dropping set opening for Charley Crocket last week). We've also added Adriel Denae to the Son Little bill (September 5) and Jeremy Ivey is bringing Dillon Warnek to town October 2. Scour the list of upcoming shows below and grab your tickets where you can. And we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our first two weeks so memorable!

The bar will be open at 5PM tonight/Friday and Saturday 4PM. Starting next Monday, August 16, we will begin our normal bar hours on non-show nights. We will only be closed on Sundays (other than show nights), so come see us and drink our cheap Hamm's tall-boys dry. We also have four incredible signature cocktails on tap that are about as tasty as they come! If you haven't been in yet for a show, there's nothing to stop you now. Consider grabbing a sweet MOTEL trucker hat — only available at the bar. See you soon!

ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER that Raccoon Motel members have early access to the following tickets before they go on sale Monday morning: Susto, Hembree/Desert Noises, Petey/James Austin Johnson/81355, and Joshua Ray Walker!
