“One of the hottest axemen on the scene.” Paste Magazine
Canadian-born Pat Travers may be best known for his hits “Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights,)” ” Snortin’ Whiskey” and “I La La La Love You” from the “Valley Girls” film soundtrack. But it’s his live show and superior guitar work that earned him legions of loyal fans since he burst onto the international rock scene in the late 1970’s. With one of Rock’s most impressive catalogs, Pat has released an album almost every year from 1976 through 2019. Pat’s time on Polydor Records, from his 1976 debut through his 1984 release “Hot Shot,” netted seven Top 200 chart placements (all but one in the upper half) and two Top 40 singles.
Subsequently, he placed four singles in the Hot 100, and two more — including 1981’s “New Age Music” and 1984’s “Killer” in the upper rungs of the Mainstream Rock Songs charts. Known for his hard, edgy tone, rough and rowdy vocals and “Guitar God” instrumental prowess, Pat is one of rock & roll’s true road warriors who has toured for more than 40 years. His current touring band includes Tommy Craig (drums) and Jaco’s nephew David Pastorius (bass/vocals).

Tropidelic with Rude Punch in the Redstone Room at Common Chord

Tropidelic brings their beach vibes to the Mississippi river bank in Downtown Davenport, refreshed with local QC favorite, “Rude Punch”.

Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm
Tickets: $18 in advance / $22 day of show
Headliner: Tropidelic

Genre: Funk-Reggae / Hiphop
All tickets are general admission. Purchasing a ticket does not guarantee a seat.

“Every single second is a blessing if you count them all,” sings frontman Matthew Roads. You can hear the sincerity in his voice; the joie de vivre that oozes from everything Tropidelic does is apparent. When they take a stage, their synergy flows member to member—horns blow, knees kicked high and grins are passed from one man to the next. Almost immediately it spreads to the crowd, lifting hands in the air as their feet begin to move and the pulse collectively becomes that of one. The six-piece band from Cleveland, Ohio may be far from any tropical islands but that doesn’t stop them from dishing out an interesting mix of reggae, hip – hop and high energy funk for audiences across the country. Tropidelic has a deep and widespread appreciation for music that can be heard in each note. Some of the members are hip-hop heads, while others are into metal, funk or reggae. But each of these genres lends something to their collective sound. “We pride ourselves in being original in our musicality and personality as a band,” says Roads, “but also in not taking ourselves so seriously that it ruins the fun.”

Web: https://www.gizzae.com/

Genre: Reggae Roots / World

A﻿bout Gizzae
Gizzae is truly a band of the world – With musicians hailing from the four corners of the Earth, Rocket and Gizzae have been playing for crowds across the country for over 35 years! Their musical experiences have collectively earned them Grammy® awards, Chicago Music Awards and they have opened for some of the biggest names in Reggae. They have also recorded and played professionally with such acts as:
Ziggy Marley, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Third World, Toots and Maytals, Burning Spear, Carly Simon, The Talking Heads, Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt, Chachi, Michael Black, Moja Nya, Dallol, Rude Beat Society, The Mighty Baron of Trinidad, Bell Combo and many others.
Working and playing with such a vast array of musical styles and talents has enabled Gizzae to create a unique blend of Roots Reggae. Rocket and Gizzae’s brand of jam-reggae is always backed with strong guitar solos, riffing-warm pads and ambient vibes from their lineup.
Some songs are heavily influenced by Soca, Cumpas, Calypso and other genres such as Jazz, Rock and Blues. Just when you think you’ve heard everything Gizzae has to offer, the band instinctively and seamlessly transitions into Bob Marley reggae/blues finale to satisfy the keyboard and guitar solo fans. This is the way to see a Chicago reggae band!
Formed in 1992 after the breakup of Dallol (Ziggy Marley’s Touring Band) and Moja Nya (New York), Gizzae soon became a fan favorite in the Chicago and Midwest reggae scene. A Sunday night staple at the fledgling Wild Hare, fans started to come out to hear this new reggae band in force and 29 years later, they still rock the house.
If you like live jams and wicked solos, come dance the night away with Gizzae!

A﻿BOUT LOJO RUSSO
Russo’s musical style is as varied and unexpected as the river she calls home. One moment she’s laying down a furious rhythm on the guitar punctuated with a wailing vocal the next we’re floating along carried by intricate finger-picking, her voice as intense and haunting as her lyrics.

Performing is her passion and the road is a long, strange, wonderful trip full of promise and adventure. Whether playing festivals or front steps, coffee houses or concert halls Lojo Russo connects with her audience in a way few performers can.

*** All tickets are general admission. Purchasing a ticket does not guarantee a seat. ***

The Arcadian Wild is a four-piece indie folk/pop group from Nashville, TN. Led by songwriters Isaac Horn and Lincoln Mick and Bailey Warren on fiddle, The Arcadian Wild confidently inhabits and explores an intersection of genre, blending the traditional with the contemporary. Combining elements of progressive bluegrass, folk, and formal vocal music, The Arcadian Wild offer up songs of invitation; calls to come and see, to find refuge and rest, to journey and wonder, to laugh and cry, to share joy and community and sing along.
The band’s 2023 album Welcome marks the start of a captivating new chapter for the genre-bending trio, who returned to the studio with renewed purpose and insight after devoting the last few years to a series of critically acclaimed singles and EPs. Like much of the band’s catalog, the album blurs the lines between chamber folk and progressive bluegrass, drawing on everything from country and classical to pop and choral music with lush harmonies and dazzling fretwork, but this time around there’s a rawness to the writing, an embrace of candor and simplicity that cuts straight to the heart of things like never before. The result is perhaps the most arresting collection yet from a band known for its ability to stop listeners dead in their tracks, an exquisitely beautiful celebration of community, connection, and the power of belonging that feels tailor-made for these challenging times.

The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band in the Redstone Room at Common Chord
2023-10-21 19:00 - 23:30 | Common Chord | Home of the Redstone Room, 129 Main Street, Davenport, IA, 52801, United States
3 makes a party. Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band is bringing their pre-Halloween hullabaloo to the Redstone Room at Common in Davenport, IA

While they’re only a trio, the Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band deliver a sound that lives up to their name, with thick, bass-heavy, blues-based guitar figures and growling vocals accompanied by muscular but minimal drumming and the metallic percussive scratch of a washboard (making them one of the first rock bands to regularly feature the latter instrument since Black Oak Arkansas). Their style is informed by rural blues, honky-tonk country, and the rebellious spirit of rock & roll, as Reverend Peyton’s raw and wiry guitar figures add texture to their straightforward melodies.

Doors: 7pm / Show: 7:30pm
Tickets: $17 in advance / $20 day of show
Headliner: Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band
Supporting Artist: Volores, Logan Springer & The Wonderfully Wild

Evening with Keller Williams in the Redstone Room at Common Chord
2023-10-27 20:00 - 23:00 | Common Chord | Home of the Redstone Room, 129 Main Street, Davenport, IA, 52801, United States
Keller returns with his whimsical lyrics, guitar prowess, & live looping for a Halloween night of alt-folk and groovy electronica!

Musical Mad Scientist, Keller Williams, returns to the Redstone Room! Keller is best known for his whimsical lyrics, guitar prowess and for creating samples on the fly in front of the audience, a technique called live phrase sampling or looping, with nothing pre-recorded. The end result often leans toward a hybrid of alternative folk and groovy electronica, a genre Keller jokingly calls “acoustic dance music” or ADM.”
Come celebrate Halloween & an evening with Keller Williams; we’re throwing a Kel-O-Ween costume contest with prizes and more!
Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm
Tickets: $25 in advance / $30 day of show
Headliner: Keller Williams
Age Restriction: All ages, (Under 19 must be accompanied by an adult)

Genre: Alternative Folk & Groovy Electronica. (a genre Keller jokingly calls “acoustic dance music” or ADM.”)
*** All tickets are general admission, for standing room only. Purchasing a ticket does not guarantee a seat. ***

Virginian, Keller Williams, released his first album in 1994, FREEK, and has since given each of his albums a single syllable title: BUZZ, SPUN, BREATHE, LOOP, LAUGH, HOME, DANCE, STAGE, GRASS, DREAM, TWELVE, LIVE, ODD, THIEF, KIDS, BASS, PICK, FUNK, VAPE, SYNC, RAW, SANS, ADD, SPEED, CELL and GRIT. Each title serves as a concise summation of the concept guiding each project. Keller’s albums reflect his pursuit to create music that sounds like nothing else. Un-beholden to conventionalism, he seamlessly crosses genre boundaries. The end product is music that encompasses rock, jazz, funk and bluegrass, and always keeps the audience on their feet. Keller built his reputation initially on his engaging live performances, no two of which are ever alike. For most of his career he has performed solo. His stage shows are rooted around Keller singing his compositions and choice cover songs, while accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, bass, guitar synthesizer and drum samples; a technique called live phrase sampling or “looping”. The end result often leans toward a hybrid of alternative folk and groovy electronica, a genre Keller jokingly calls “acoustic dance music” or ADM.” Keller’s constant evolution has led to numerous band projects as well; Keller & The Keels, Grateful Grass, KWahtro, Keller and the Travelin’ McCourys, Grateful Gospel and More Than A Little to name a few. Keller can be found playing clubs and festivals around the U.S. with these projects throughout the year.
