Hello!

Haunted House 'Tis the season for changing leaves, hot chocolate, and most frighteningly, haunted houses! Get your Halloween fix by attending the Davenport Jaycee's Haunted House every Friday and Saturday for the rest of October. Grab a friend or family member's hand to squeeze and experience the most-terrifying haunted house in the Quad Cities for only $10 a soul.


Martin Sexton One of the most talked-about arrivals on the new folk music scene has landed in Davenport again for an intimate show tonight!   Don't miss Martin Sexton, who has collaborated with artists from John Mayer to Peter Frampton, perform tonight at the River Music Experience!   Fans of Scrubs and Parenthood may hear some familiar tunes at this show, too. Shemekia

 

Inspired to make your own mark on music?  Participate in RME's Songwriter's All-Original Open Mic on Saturday, and plan to attend other great events occurring this week too including performances by Daniel Stratman, Shemekia Copeland, 10 of Soul, and more.  Grab tickets while they last for next week's Mason Jennings concert, too!

 

Suds Attention all local beer lovers! Head over to German American Heritage Center for the Suds! Beer Tasting this Saturday. While you're there, visit the SUDS Beer Exhibit to learn about the history of brewing in the QC. If you're looking for another brew fix later in the week, check out Great River Brewery's Attack of the Casks every Wednesday from 5 to 9 p.m.

 

Katy T The Praise for Life Concert this weekend will feature the Grammy and Dove Award-winning Christian music recording artist Kathy Troccoli. Make your way to the Adler Theater to be a part of this unique milestone moment!

 

Anime The Figge's Teen Anime Fest, which includes a Japanese language class, a cosplay contest, and cool crafts kicks off Saturday at noon!  Check out the wide assortment of classes offered by the Figge whether it be basic drawing or multi-media design, too. Tonight's presentation during Thursday at the Figge discusses the interpretation of portraiture from a variety of perspectives with demonstrations by current graduate students.

 

Burlesque casino Rhythm City Casino will host one of the season's most sizzlin' performances this weekend when the Quad City Bottoms Up Burlesque Show takes the stage!  Musician Chuck Murphy will be performing at the casino Friday, too.

 

See you downtown!
