No guaranteed seating. Table reservations available.Age Restriction: All Ages (Under 19 must be accompanied by an adult) \n \nHeadliner: Davina and the VagabondsSupporting Act: Mo & Co \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \n“Davina Sowers creates her own Americana mishmash — a little Amy Winehouse-worthy neo-soul here\, a little Great American Songbook-influenced songcraft there.” – Rolling Stone Magazine​ \n“Davina and the Vagabonds combat heartache with sugar and sass.” – Downbeat Magazine ​ \nDavina Sowers and the Vagabonds have created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows\, level A musicianship\, sharp-dressed professionalism\, and Sowers’ commanding stage presence. With influences ranging from Fats Domino and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits\, the band is converting audiences one show at a time\, from Vancouver to Miami and across Europe.  \nMuch like the music\, the story spurns era\, expectation\, and classification. The often unbelievable\, sometimes harrowing\, and wholly inspiring journey of Davina Sowers gave birth to her eponymous band Davina and The Vagabonds in 2004. As the tale goes\, she grew up in the economically depressed Allegheny town of Altoona\, PA\, which she now describes as “awesome in the industrial era\, but horrible for high school.” She was adopted by her much older stepfather when he was in his 80s; he passed away when she was just 13. Through him and his Edison phonograph\, she first heard The Ink Spots\, Sidney Bechet\, Louis Armstrong and Louis Prima\, Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, and many others. “Great man. He was my angel and still is\,” she says.  \nOn her own\, she vividly recalls hours in front of the record player where she religiously spun Led Zeppelin\, Black Sabbath\, and Simon and Garfunkel records belonging to her folk singer mom. \nTo this day\, Davina still refers to music as “my first and eternal love.” Despite early dalliances with classical piano and guitar\, she developed a heavy drug habit in high school\, which morphed into heroin dependency\, left her homeless\, sent her in and out of jail\, and brought on all manner of trouble. Kicking dope on the streets\, she “got clean\, started the band\, and worked [her] ass off every day since.” \nDavina and the Vagabonds shine every time they play. To date\, they’ve performed in forty-five states\, twelve European countries\, and two Canadian provinces. Not to mention\, they’ve earned feverish acclaim from the Chicago Tribune\, NPR\, and more in addition to performing on BBC’s international favorite late-night program Later… With Jools Holland and appearing on PBS’s Bluegrass Underground. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

No guaranteed seating. Table reservations available.Age Restriction: All Ages (Under 19 must be accompanied by an adult) \nHeadliner: SinkaneSupporting Artist: CJ Parker \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nWe Belong is the eighth studio album from Sinkane\, a band led by multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Gallab. And like much of Sinkane’s previous releases\, it resists genre. It’s pop. It’s funk. It’s electronic. It blends the gritty punk newness of a 70s and 80s New York with the steady\, foundational soul of the rhythms of his native Sudan. Though We Belong comes deep into the catalog of a long career\, it also resists stagnation. It moves and travels—through words and eras\, through emotion and healing. Gallab calls this album his “love letter to Black music\,” and each track pulses with the energy of different eras and forms: the gospel-soaked “Everything Is Everything\,” the dreamy\, Quiet Storm-influenced Afro-beats of “Rise Above\,” the 70s-funk of “We Belong” and its Sly Stone influence\, the Stevie Wonder-edged “Another Day”—they tell a story about Black music and Black people. \nThe album itself also reveals Gallab’s desire to create a work that not only reflected a community\, but was made by one\, too. We Belong assembles this community\, makes it visible\, to anyone willing to see\, to hear\, to feel. Gallab and Amanda Khiri\, co-lyricist on most of the songs\, passed notes across the digital divide. Audre Lorde\, Toni Morrison\, Ismael Reed\, scraps of poetry. The pair turned these late-night ideas into fully realized compositions. Casey Benjamin\, a multi-instrumentalist who has worked with jazz pianist Robert Glasper\, left his touch on several tracks. Jazz trumpeter Kenyatta Beasley soared across three songs. Soul singer Bilal lent his voice. Rising artists like vocalists Ifedayo Gatling\, of the Harlem Gospel Travelers\, Tru Osbourne\, Hollie Cook\, and STOUT\, joined this community as well. \nWhat had long been a solo endeavor by Gallab\, suddenly became a collaborative experience. “Having all these people at my disposal [meant] I could actually be a producer\,” he says. “I could zoom out a little bit and see what serves the song best? How can I make this better? Having a community around me really just allowed this to turn into something bigger than I could have ever imagined.” \nThe result is an album that showcases freedom\, in all its forms. Freedom to create\, to move\, to love\, to live. The we of the title is all of us. All of us who have lost and found community. All of us who have reached into the past to find our future. And ultimately\, it is the sound of an artist finding his way back to himself by stretching beyond himself. “In making this album\, I realized very quickly that I got a lot of freedom in not making it about myself\,” Gallab says. “I realized I’m more than just me\, there’s all of us\, all of us together. It’s much more about community and much more about connecting with other people. But maybe\, that’s how I’ve kind of come to find myself.” \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

Standard \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nMike Conrad\, a Quad City native\, currently Associate Professor of Jazz Studies at the University of Northern Iowa\, brings his jazz trio to the Redstone Room for a special night celebrating the release of the group’s second album\, Pretzel Letters. Conrad’s compositions have earned him four ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Awards\, a SONIC Award from the International Society of Jazz Arrangers & Composers\, the 2023 Sammy Nestico Award\, and many other accolades. This newest project is made up of pieces inspired by his family and memories from a childhood growing up in Iowa. As a pianist he performs regionally with Chris Merz’s ‘Shorter Stories\,’ the Jon Ailabouni Quintet\, Jackson Churchill’s ‘Good Question\,’ and the Iowa Jazz Composers Orchestra\, an ensemble he founded in 2019. \nConrad is joined by Cassius Goens III\, a drummer from Indianapolis who has toured throughout the Midwest\, New York\, Brazil\, and Europe where he performed at the Montreux\, Vienne\, and Perugia Jazz Festivals. Goens and Conrad have been making music together for about 15 years. \nFilling in for Chicago bassist Katie Ernst is Drew Morton\, another Quad City native and long-time collaborator of Conrad’s. Drew is an incredibly creative and versatile artist\, having performed and recorded extensively with groups like Jack Lion and Christopher’s Very Happy Band\, while exploring visual landscapes in the world of digital art as well. \nThe Mike Conrad Trio has appeared throughout the Midwest\, having won a Jazz Road Tours grant in 2023 after recording their debut album\, Reconnect (Sky Deck Music). They performed at the 2022 Iowa City Jazz Festival and will be returning to the festival as headliners on July 5th\, 2025. In this dynamic group\, the unique musical personality of each player shines through while somehow simultaneously uniting to create a cohesive and exciting sound. Conrad’s tunes are engaging and well-crafted with tons of space for improvisation\, interaction\, and expression.  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

Love & Special Sauce is an American Hip-Hop Blues band known for its unique fusion of hip-hop\, blues\, funk\, and soul. Formed in 1993 in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, the band originally featured Garrett Dutton\, aka G. Love\, as the lead vocalist and guitarist\, Jeffrey Clemens on drums\, and Jim Prescott on bass. The trio quickly gained attention for their laid-back\, groovy style and G. Love’s unique vocal delivery\, blending rap-like spoken word with bluesy singing.  \nTheir debut self-titled album\, G. Love & Special Sauce\, was released in 1994 on Epic Records and included the hit single “Cold Beverage\,” which became popular on alternative radio stations and MTV\, solidifying their presence in the music scene. The band’s style has been described as a mix of “slacker blues” and “alternative hip-hop\,” as they frequently incorporate elements of 90s hip-hop beats with classic blues rhythms.  \nOver the years\, G. Love & Special Sauce has released numerous albums\, including Coast to Coast Motel (1995)\, Yeah\, It’s That Easy (1997)\, The Electric Mile (2001) and the GRAMMY nominated The Juice (2020). Their sound evolved to include more soul\, R&B\, and rock influences\, though they retained their laid-back vibe and clever lyrical play. Their 2014 album Sugar saw a reunion of the original lineup after several years\, and they continued to tour and produce music with a loyal fan base.  \nKnown for their energetic live performances\, G. Love & Special Sauce has played at festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. Garrett Dutton also frequently collaborates with other artists\, including Jack Johnson\, with whom he shares a similar vibe\, and has released solo projects that dive deeper into his blues influences. G. Love & Special Sauce remains a beloved name in the music scene\, blending genres in a way that feels fresh and authentic. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

No guaranteed seating. Table reservations available.Age Restriction: All Ages (Under 19 must be accompanied by an adult) \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \n“A Powerhouse Unit” – Rolling Stone \n“Introspective lyrics and world class musicianship” – American Songwriter \nThe New York based Progressive Americana group Nefesh Mountain Band has been hailed as one of the formative boundary-pushing ensembles in roots music. The band’s creators and dynamic husband and wife team of Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff have created a world and sound all their own; blurring the lines between Americana\, Bluegrass\, Folk\, Jazz and Blues with a masterful hand as songwriters\, instrumentalists and composers alike. The band takes the listener on a deeply personal journey that embodies their own wild nature and unbridled free spirits\, bridging compositional prowess and prolific songwriting with deft instrumentals and jams. \nSince their formation nearly a decade ago\, Nefesh Mountain has been proudly open and vocal about their background and heritage as Jewish Americans\, and are among the first preeminent Americana / Bluegrass bands to infuse Jewish tradition and soul into the beautifully diverse tapestry of American roots music. For them the music is wholly American\, freely expressing their own identities while at the same time addressing the hate\, discrimination\, anti-semitism and racism that still remains at large in America and the World today. \nThe band has recorded and shared the stage with Sam Bush\, Jerry Douglas\, Bryan Sutton\, John Doyle\, Noam Pikelny (Punch Brothers)\, Mark Schatz (Bèla Fleck\, Nickel Creek)\, Mike Gordon (Phish) and Tony Trischka among others. The Troubadours along with their band continue to forge new paths in unknown territory\, armed with Zasloff and Lindberg’s strong\, smokey\, and folksy vocals and Lindberg’s soulful and masterful skills on guitars and banjo alike. In 2021 they made their debut at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville\, TN and in recent years have performed various Festivals\, PACs\, and countless venues including Mountain Stage\, Merlefest\, Wintergrass\, Ossipee Valley\, Kaw River Roots\, Thomas Point Bluegrass and more. Through the years Nefesh Mountain has officially showcased and been a proud member of AmericanaFest\, Folk Alliance\, and the IBMA. \nThe latest album from Nefesh Mountain\, Beacons emerged from a bold and wholehearted attempt to transform the world around them. Soon after wrapping up a whirlwind tour booked with the mission of spreading their newfound message of radical love\, co-founders Doni Zasloff and Eric Lindberg immersed themselves in the feverish writing of songs that turned their frustrations and fears into irrepressible hope\, all while reaching far beyond their bluegrass roots and forging a fiercely joyful sound unbound by genre convention. By the time they’d completed that process of musical alchemy\, the New York-based husband-and-wife duo had profoundly refined the band’s vision and voice and arrived at the unfettered radiance of Beacons: an epic double album affirming Nefesh Mountain as a singular musical force—one whose deeply impassioned songwriting awakens us to new ways of navigating an endlessly troubled world. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

Now\, we’re going back to where the jam bands came from\, to the time when rock\, blues\, jazz and Latin music met and grew into our inspiration. Call it what you want – post-psychedelic\, proto-alternative\, protest music (we like that one)\, retro\, southern-progressive-hippie rock\, whatever — you can bet that great bands like Phish and Moe and Umphrey’s McGee would still be punching the clock at their day jobs without the contributions of Jimi\, Eric\, Carlos\, Duane\, Jerry … and Clyde. \nThe Beaker Brothers Band isn’t a nostalgia act or a tribute show. We’re playing music that has been in our heads and our hearts since we first heard it. It’s music of the night from Back in the Day\, played by guys who are as awed by it now as when we were driving home from a gig in 1969 and suddenly pulled off the road on a hilltop ’cause Clyde was blowing our minds again\, and we couldn’t get the signal down in the valley. \nThis is not your father’s rock band.

That dream has now become a reality. XTC’s legendary drummer Terry Chambers is back on the road with his band EXTC. This is the only touring band featuring original members performing the XTC music in 40+ years! \nEmerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s XTC experienced global success touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. The band put their hometown of Swindon UK on the map. They achieved huge success in North America and Japan. Sadly their legions of loyal fans would be left in limbo when in 1982 XTC stopped touring becoming a studio-based entity. \nBorn in early 2019\, EXTC would set out to achieve its goals of performing to audiences who had waited so long to hear the EXTC back catalogue performed live only to be bought to a standstill in 2020 due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. \nThe band eventually began gigging again in 2021 with sold-out dates around the UK. The band would go on to do further successful tours of the United States and Canada\, with EXTC also heading to Japan in early 2023. EXTC has kept much of the original fan base from XTC’s glory days of the late 70s and early 80s as well as gaining a new following of fans in their own right.

I may just quit my job and go follow Martin and make a fuss everywhere I go\, just to make sure that people don’t go their lives without hearing this man sing to them.” – John Mayer \n“His unpretentious heartiness helps him focus on every soul singer’s goal: to amplify the sound of the ordinary heart.” – The New York Times \nAmerica comes together in the music of Martin Sexton. Our hearts mend\, our political and philosophical differences melt away\, and the various strains of our roots music entangle. \nSexton has remained true to his mission of sharing peace and harmony throughout his 10 albums\, and in countless incendiary live performances. He has thus built a loyal following of fans\, including critics and superstar artists. He is without a doubt what Billboard calls: “The real thing.” \nThese days\, people are coming together to revel in Sexton’s musicality for his Martin Sexton Abbey Road Show. This is a live show extravaganza in which he performs the iconic Beatles’ album in its entirety followed by a set of mainly original music. Currently\, Sexton is also working on his 11th album\, which will be his first full-length album in 10 years. \nSexton is a songwriter’s songwriter\, with a multi-octave voice that knows no bounds. Acoustic Guitar Magazine calls him a: “Master of dynamics\, reducing a room to silence with his blustering baritone\, then teasing that silence with a fluttering falsetto.” \nSexton’s career in music has unfolded like the stories in one of his sweetly redemptive songs. He got his start busking on streets and performing at open mics. Since then\, he has gone on to be praised by modern legends such as John Mayer and Dave Matthews\, who calls him one of his favorite singer-songwriters. Sexton’s songs of grappling and gratitude were the soundtrack to John Mayer’s early gigging years\, and made an indelible impact on the budding songwriter. Mayer says: “This is the music of my LIFE.” \nSexton has headlined venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall\, and his songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs\, Parenthood\, Masters of Sex\, and in numerous films. His dynamically emotive live show has earned him critical raves and an engaged and loyal following. The Wall Street Journal says: “Mr. Sexton as an impassioned performer can bring women and men to tears when they see him live.” \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

His sophomore release ‘Coming Up For Air’ was produced by the legendary Peter Frampton\, with subsequent tours seeing him supporting and sharing the stage with acts such as Jeff Beck\, The Who\, Joe Bonamassa\, Kid Rock\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, George Thorogood\, Brian Setzer\, the Sammy Hagar-fronted supergroup Chickenfoot\, and guitar hero Joe Satriani. \nKnowles has several top-5 Billboard Blues charting albums under his belt\, high profile TV appearances (Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS Good Morning America among others)\, and has been praised with high accolades from heroes and press alike – but it’s not just the music industry who has taken note. Knowles was also the very first artist in history to perform live to the International Space Station directly from mission control in Houston\, TX\, and has had his music taken to the Space Station by two astronauts\, Nicole Stott and Ron Garan\, on their missions orbiting Earth. \nNever one to be satisfied or to sit still\, Knowles has explored multiple genres and styles\, from the hard-hitting 70’s classic rock influenced album ‘Three Miles From Avalon’\, to the haunting acoustic delta blues of ‘1932’\, and the sweet\, soul-searching folk of 2023’s ‘If I Should Wander’. \nWhether spending an evening onstage armed with just an acoustic guitar or wielding his well-worn and trusty Telecaster while fronting his blues/rock trio – and at any point in between the two – Davy Knowles is a versatile and formidable songwriter and musician. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

Profoundly inspired by fellow midwesterner John Prine\, he’s a working-class folk musician to his core. His small town roots\, tilled with city streets mentality\, are turning heads North and South of I-80. \n“I love the energy\, music\, and creativity of Chicago\, but at the same time\, the roots and hard work of my small town\,” he shares. Growing up in Delavan\, Illinois\, with a population less than 2\,000\, Diekhoff’s grandparents were farmers\, and their values have always provided the baseline of his songs.  \nHe writes music for “the kind of people that come to my shows. Whether in Chicago or Delavan\, everyone has a story\, and everyone puts in a long day and works hard the same way\,” he says. “My generation may have been labeled as slackers\, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t work hard – many people I know put in 50-60 hours a week and 12 hour days. That’s what keeps me playing. I don’t like anyone to be left out; my music is for everyone in big and very small towns.” \nHe listened to punk rock and grunge as a kid before discovering a friend’s dad playing Hank Williams\, and it was a revelation. Prine and Guthrie quickly followed. The name Chicago Farmer was originally for a band\, but the utilitarian life of driving alone from bar to bar\, city to city – to make a direct connection to his audience and listener\, took a deeper hold. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.
