Genre: Rocky Mountain CountryShow: 6-8pmTickets: Free
Location: The Community Stage in The Lemonade Stand Restaurant

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jaden Decker is an 18-year-old country artist from Missoula, Montana who fell in love with music at an early age. At just six years old, Jaden picked up a guitar and began playing, quickly demonstrating a natural talent for the instrument. Since then, he has been honing his craft and developing a unique style of country music that he calls, “Rocky Mountain Country.”
The release of his first album, “Montana Grown” came in 2020. 2021 saw the release of his self-titled EP. Two years later, Jaden flew to Nashville and cut his new record, “Band of Angels” at the renowned Blackbird Studios.
Decker has already accomplished a great deal in his career. Sharing the stage with artists like Granger Smith, Casey Donahew, Sam Barber, Wyatt Flores, and many more, his talent, passion, and one-of-a-kind style makes him one of Montana’s quickest rising stars, and an up-and-coming artist to watch in the world of country music.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
DIZGO has one of the most operative names in the jam band scene, evoking a transcendence of genre: a dizzier disco, filled with a hodge-podge of genres, styles, and technical influences while still, at it’s core, a dance party” – Space Tapes
Dizgo redefines the live experience by blending jamtronica with funk, deep-groove soul, and psychedelic rock, taking the audience on a musical journey that includes intricate compositions and extended improvisation. The result is something both danceable and introspective: soulful vocals, interweaving analog synths and shredding guitar all of which join forces under the banner of Dizgo.
The band has played stand-out performances at festivals such as Peach Music Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Resonance Music Festival, Werk Out Music Festival, Sonic Bloom Music Festival, and much more and has supported acts such as Goose, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Papadosio, The Main Squeeze, Aqueous, Lespecial, and more.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
ILLUSION OF FATEIllusion of Fate began as a recording project in the summer of 2019 between vocalist King Morbid and guitarist Hayden Crownover. On April 10th, 2020, the band’s debut EP, Emerging Sentience, was released to positive reception. It was in this release that the foundation for their singular approach to extreme music was firmly laid. Juxtaposing blistering, yet melodic black metal with the pulsing rhythms of groove metal and unforgettable riffs. Illusion of Fate has shared the stage with the likes of Gorgatron, Interloper, Vale of Pnath, Obscura, and many others.
EMPTY GRAVESEmpty Graves is heavy metal band hailing from the Quad Cities of Illinois. Infusing elements of classic 2000’s Deathcore with splashes of modern metalcore bring a crisp new sound their fans have coined “millennial-core”. Their juxtaposition between hard hitting political lyrics and fun attire and comedic sound clips are perfect for those socially conscious individuals that want to let loose and have a little fun. Since forming in 2022, Empty Graves has gone on to release a large handful of singles, covers, and one full length studio album titled “Virulent”.
WYVERNInfluenced by Thrash, Nu Metal, and Metalcore, with sprinkles of other sub genres of metal have allowed Wyvern to entrench its roots deep into a modern metal sound. No-nonsense riffs, modern vocals, and powerful lyrics are the foundation of this rising metal band.
BRAVER THAN IBraver Than I is a 6 piece metalcore act out of the Quad Cities, with Logan DeShane and Jay Hoerner on vocals, Eric Meier and Zach Anderson on guitars, and rhythm section of Will Myers on bass and Skyler Coons on drums. They bring the punk and hardcore roots that grow out of this area into a modern metal sound.

Often referred to by fans as one of the hardest-working, hardest-touring bands on the circuit today, the 5-piece Illinois-based act not only proves that classification with their jam-packed tour schedule but also on stage every night, with youthful exuberance and a lively stage show, as reliable as it is infectious. High energy percussion, mandolin, guitar, bass, banjo and fiddle weave seamlessly together to create an experience for fans that has sold out shows across the UK and the United States, filling the front rows with fans not just singing along to one tune, but singing along to all of them. “Everybody says it. We’d be nothing without our supporters. Yeah, they buy tickets and of course we love that, but when we’ve been on the road for 10 hours and walk onto a stage road weary and we see familiar faces singing along, it’s hard to describe. It’s everything, really. There’s a whole lot of love there.”
Music enthusiasts are not the only ones taking note. Critics and tastemakers alike have awarded the young artists an impressive number of accolades ranging from official showcases at AmericanaFest (2018) and International Bluegrass Music Association (2016) to Whitstable UK Session of the Year (2017), a BBC Scotland Session (2017) as well as Finalist, International Song Writing Competition (2015 & 2016), Chicago’s Best Emerging Artist, Deli Magazine (2014) and Songpickr’s Best Songs Spotify Playlist (2016) among others. The young men are no strangers to the festival circuit either, having played major National and Regional Festivals such as Merlefest, Summer Camp, Red Wing Roots Music Festival and Saskatchewan Jazz Fest all across the United States, Canada and the UK. The band has also graced the stage of coveted venues such as Bluegrass Underground (TN), The Fox Theater (CO), Park West (IL), The Vogue (IN) The Station Inn (TN) The Gramercy Theater (NYC), and countless others.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The Bunny The BearFew band names hit the conceptual nail on the head like The Bunny The Bear, a synth-heavy rock band from Buffalo, New York fronted by two guys wearing bunny and bear masks. Formed in 2008 by vocalist/songwriter Matthew “The Bunny” Tybor (and joined in 2015 by Jacob “The Bear” Reeves), the band has released a total of 8 full length albums, 5 of via the well known, now defunct, Independent Label Victory Records. They are known for their eclectic style of post-hardcore, taking influence from a variety of rock, pop and electronic subgenres, creating something unique and mesmerizing in the process.
Manhattan BlockadeManhattan Blockade is an Iowa band with post-hardcore and pop-punk influences. After a run that included performing with ERRA, blessthefall, Volumes, Upon A Burning Body, and even on Warped Tour in 2018. After COVID-19, Manhattan Blockade spent a year writing, and they’ve returned with a self-titled full-length album and a Punk Goes Pop style cover of Juice WLRD & Marshmello’s “Come & Go” with production from Sam Nelson (Five AM) and Aaron Isaacson.
KEEP ILPrairie State Hardcore from Springfield, Illinois.
Braver Than IBraver Than I is a 6 piece metalcore act out of the Quad Cities, with Logan DeShane and Jay Hoerner on vocals, Eric Meier and Zach Anderson on guitars, and rhythm section of Will Myers on bass and Skyler Coons on drums. They bring the punk and hardcore roots that grow out of this area into a modern metal sound.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Kevin Gordonkg.kevingordon.netKevin Gordon’s Louisiana is a strange place. It’s a place where restless teens road trip to where the highway dead-ends at the Gulf of Mexico; a place where prisoners who are in for life compete in a rodeo while the town watches; where a character can get lost in the humid afternoon and where religion may not signify hope; and where rivers, never far away, carry secrets behind levees. “One of the things I like about it and am mystified by is that what passes for normal in Louisiana would not make the grade elsewhere,” he says.
The kicker? All of these postcards are based on true stories. It’s a place that he’s been exploring for twenty years now, on the eve of the release of his astonishing new album “Tilt And Shine” on Crowville Media. It is work that has earned him fans like noted author and Elvis Presley biographer Peter Guralnick; New West Records artist Buddy Miller; journalist, songwriter, and Country Music Hall of Fame staffer Peter Cooper; Todd Snider; head of the Americana Music Association Jed Hilly; and Lucinda Williams, with whom Kevin dueted on the song “Down To The Well” (which was featured prominently on an Oxford American compilation).
Before you even hear his vivid lyrics, you start feeling the sound of that ’56 Gibson ES-125 tuned down to open D, often with the tremolo flowing like a river, and an unstoppable groove distilled from swamp blues and Sun Records. His MFA from the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop allows him to capture it with a degree of precision. As the New York Times put it in its headline of a feature on Kevin, “A Musician Or A Poet? Yes to Both.”
Kevin sums it up, “There are so many stories in north Louisiana and it’s a place that nobody pays attention to. For me, you can feel the arc of time passing there. I’m captivated by the power of strong memories—those films that run continuously in your mind, if you let ‘em.” With “Tilt and Shine,” those movies translate into rock n’roll poetry.
Jeni Grouwswww.facebook.com/jenigrouwsmusic

“It’s been a while since a vocalist gave me the chills. Grouws digs deep and you can’t turn away. She’s a belter with deep rooted soul.” (Martine Ehrenclou/ Rock and Blues Muse)
Jeni Grouws writes roots and Americana music for Avey Grouws Band as well as for her solo project. Working as a songwriter and performer, Jeni released her solo EP “Scenic Route” in 2008. In 2017, Jeni co-founded Avey Grouws Band. Avey Grouws Band went on to twice win the Iowa Blues Challenge, they landed on the Billboard Blues Album charts at #10 and #7 for their two full length albums and the band continues to tour nationwide. Jeni won top honors in the Unsigned Only Songwriting Competition in 2020 and in the 2021 International Songwriting Competition and continues to write for a variety of projects while touring. Jeni has recently accepted a residency in Omaha, NE where she will be living and working on her own artist solo project from September 2024-May 2025. Grouws continues to tour solo and with Avey Grouws Band.
“Jeni Grouws is a remarkably demonstrative vocalist, fully capable of delivering sturdy rockers, blustery blues, or…a tender heartfelt ballad.” (Lee Zimmerman/Goldmine Magazine) “Jeni delivers the deep, smoldering slow blues that will induce both tears and raving applause” (Jim Hynes/ Making a Scene)
David G Smithheydavemusic.comDavid G Smith developed and hosts the Songwriter Sessions series, inviting top-tier local and touring songwriters to share their songs with the Quad Cities. Having hosted shows at Nashville’s Bluebird Café for over 15 years, David has created a true listening room experience in the Quad Cities. An internationally acclaimed songwriter, four of David’s albums and four of his singles have reached #1 nationwide on various US charts, to include “River Gonna Talk” and “To Be Human”, from his recent album Witness Trees, both of which reached #1 on the Radio Guitar One Americana Chart. His last four albums were accepted for Grammy consideration. David “draws you in with his lyrics and keeps you there with his heart.”
Eva KendallEva Kendall is a young woman trying to navigate her busy life and put into words and songs her teenage experiences, thoughts and feelings. She was immersed into music from an early age by her parents, grandparents, family, friends and local artists throughout the quad city area. You could often find her at a Live at Five concert dancing to the music. Eva first picked up a guitar at the tender age of three, writing her first songs “Rock and Roll Tree Trop” and “Rock and Roll Doo Dah” on a Minnie Mouse guitar. From there, she graduated to finding her Mother and Father’s guitars in the basement, dusting them off, and then teaching herself how to play open chords, something quite difficult for a nine year old! At the age of ten, she got her first electric guitar, a Fender Squire Stratocaster.
Her earliest experiences of performing started with the Common Chord blues and rock camps. After her twelfth birthday, she was recruited and briefly played with an all-girls high school rock cover band. With the help and support of locals like Donovan Gustafson, Levi Craft, Lewis Knudsen and others, and words of encouragement from her childhood role model and hero, Lissie, Eva found her first open mic at the Whiskey Stop in East Moline.
Having a foundation in blues from the Ellis Kell Blues Camp, Eva is often described as having an “old soul.” Finding inspiration in classic performers like Stevie Ray Vaughan and The Blues Brothers, Eva has taught herself how to “jam” with various artists throughout the quad cities. Her taste in music can best be described as eclectic as she also has a deep appreciation for the blues, classic rock genre, southern rock, 90’s alternative, country, and also a peppering of today’s contemporary pop like Olivia Rodrigo and P!nk. Eva can be seen throughout the Quad Cities performing solo and with friends at such venues as the Whiskey Stop, the Farmer’s Market, Live at Five, and numerous others.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Tommy Castro & The PainkillersFacebook: www.facebook.com/TommyCastroBandInstagram: www.instagram.com/tommycastroband
“Castro is one of the brightest stars in the blues-soul genre. Voracious blues energy and ultimate soul power…impassioned vocals and pure inventiveness in his stellar guitar solos.” –Blues Music Magazine
“Sizzling, slow-burning, gritty blues and rock…shimmering, swampy, downright funky vibes drenched with Castro’s stinging, pure and crisp lead runs and fluid, jet-fueled solos.” –Living Blues
“Soul-baring, roadhouse-meets-church, Memphis guitar licks…gritty voice…Southern colors and rootsy textures.” –Washington Post
Throughout his long, constantly evolving career, guitarist, singer and songwriter Tommy Castro has always remained true to himself while exploring, growing and creating new music, and he has taken his thousands of devoted fans right along with him. Since his solo debut in 1994, he’s made 16 albums—the last seven for Alligator—each its own unique chapter in the book of Tommy Castro. Ranging from horn-fueled R&B to piping hot blues to fiery, stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll, each release is solidly built upon Castro’s unshakable musical foundation—a dynamic mix of 1960s-influenced guitar-fueled blues, testifying Memphis-soaked blue-eyed soul and Latin-tinged East San Jose funk, all driven by Castro’s grab-you-by-the-collar vocals and passionate guitar work. Blues Revue declared, “Tommy Castro can do no wrong.”
For Castro’s new album, a roots music odyssey entitled Tommy Castro Presents A Bluesman Came To Town, he tells a timeless story. This special project was composed by Castro along with Grammy Award-winning producer Tom Hambridge. Through its 13 songs, A Bluesman Came To Town tells the tale of a young man working on his family farm who gets bitten by the blues bug. He masters the guitar and heads out on the road seeking fame and fortune, only to find what he’s left behind is the treasure he’s been looking for. Each memorable song—from the blistering title track to the pleading Child Don’t Go to the hopeful I Caught A Break to the emotional Blues Prisoner—stands on its own, as well as contributing to the larger story.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Jim Lauderdale“Jim Lauderdale is a consummate entertainer, a sharp dressed man as well, a terrific songwriter and a great singer.”– George Strait
“He’s my favorite part of Americana music” – Ketch Secor, Old Crow Medicine Show
“Jim Lauderdale could easily be called a renaissance man. He’s a great singer, great guitar player and there’s no way you could miss his work as a songwriter.” – Ricky Skaggs
Jim Lauderdale has been a vital part of the country music ecosystem since 1991, when he released his debut album and began penning songs for an impressively long roster of country music greats. “When I was a teenager wanting to be a bluegrass banjo player, I never would have imagined that I would get to work with people like Ralph Stanley, Robert Hunter, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams and John Oates ,” he muses.
He has won two Grammys, released 34 full-length albums, and taken home the Americana Music Association’s coveted Wagonmaster Award. But forthcoming album Game Changer is convincing evidence that the North Carolina native is only continuing to hone his craft.
Operating under his own label, Sky Crunch Records, for the first time since 2016, Lauderdale recorded Game Changer at the renowned Blackbird Studios in Nashville, co-producing the release with Jay Weaver and pulling from songs he’d written over the last several years.
From rollicking guitar riffs on “That Kind of Life (That Kind of Day)” to the slow, sweet harmonies of “I’ll Keep My Heart Open For You,” Game Changer shows off Lauderdale’s ingenuity as a singer, songwriter, and producer—while reestablishing him as one of Americana’s most steadfast champions. “Country music is constantly evolving, but I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for steel guitar and a Telecaster,” he says. “I have done my job on this record if people who love classic country feel like they can put it on, or have it in their collection, and it would fit right in.”
Respecting the past doesn’t mean he’s not breaking new ground. “We’re All We’ve Got,” a co-write with Mary Gauthier and Jaimee Harris, offers a timely message about healing torn relationships at home and across the world. And “Friends Again,” a grinning number about rekindling a friendship, is fresh and forward-looking. At every turn, Lauderdale’s collaborative spirit and genuine love for the creative process reveal themselves in thoughtful, well-crafted songs sure to stand the test of time. “When everything works right, it’s just magical to be able to hear them back,” he says. “You feel, at least for those three-and-a-half minutes, like life makes sense.”

The Travelin' McCourys
2024-10-31 20:00 - 23:00 | Redstone Room at Common Chord, 129 Main St, Davenport, IA, 52801, United States
Genre: BluegrassRecommended If You Like: Del McCoury Band, Leftover Salmon, Yonder Mountain String Band, Railroad Earth
Doors: 7:00pm / Show: 8:00pmTickets: $40 in advance / $50 at the door
Seating: General admission. No guaranteed seating. Table reservations available.Age Restriction: All Ages (Under 19 must be accompanied by an adult)

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The Travelin’ McCourysFrom a source deep, abundant, and pure the river flows. It’s there on the map, marking place and time. Yet, the river changes as it remains a constant, carving away at the edges, making new pathways, gaining strength as it progresses forward. The Travelin’ McCourys are that river.
The McCoury brothers- Ronnie (mandolin) and Rob (banjo) – were born into the bluegrass tradition. Talk about a source abundant and pure: their father, Del, is among the most influential and successful musicians in the history of the genre. Years on the road with Dad in the Del McCoury Band honed their knife-edge chops, and encouraged the duo to imagine how traditional bluegrass could cut innovative pathways into 21st century music.
With fiddler Jason Carter, bassist Alan Bartram, and latest recruit Cody Kilby on guitar, they assembled a group that could take what they had in their DNA, take what traditions they learned and heard, and push the music forward. In fact, the band became the only group to have each of its members recognized with an International Bluegrass Music Association Award for their instrument at least once. There were peers, too, that could see bluegrass as both historic and progressive. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Allman Brothers Band, improv-rock kings Phish, and jamband contemporary Keller Williams were just a few that formed a mutual admiration society with the ensemble.
The band played the Allman’s Wanee Festival, and guitarist Warren Haynes’ Christmas jam- an annual holiday homecoming of Southern music. An early-years jam with the Lee Boys was hailed by many as the highlight of the evening, and with the video catching fire online, earned a legion of new, young fans of their supercharged combination of sacred steel, R&B, and bluegrass. There were unforgettable collaborations with country smash Dierks Bentley, and onstage magic, jamming with titans String Cheese Incident and Phish, cutting an album with Keller (Pick), and creating the Grateful Ball- a tribute concert-turned-tour bridging bluegrass with the iconic music of the Grateful Dead.
Their concerts became can’t-miss events, whether headlining historic venues or as festival favorites, drawing the love and respect of a growing fanbase craving their eclectic repertoire. At the 2016 edition of DelFest, an annual gathering of the genre’s best aptly named for the McCoury patriarch, the band delivered the take-away highlight. Rolling Stone called it “a sublime combination of rock and bluegrass, contemporary and classic, old and young. The best set of the festival…” The river was going new places, getting stronger. It was time to re-draw the map.
So arrives the long-awaited, self-titled debut album from the quintet. A brilliantly executed set overflowing with inventive style, stellar musicianship, and, of course, plenty of burnin’ grass, the 14-song collection is a true culmination of their decades-long journey. From the headwaters of Bill Monroe and the waves of Jerry Garcia to a sound both rooted and revolutionary, soulful and transcending that belongs only to the Travelin’ McCourys.

Bearly Dead played their first show at Church of Boston, in 2015, marking the beginning of its hallowed Wednesday Night Residency.

After becoming a staple in the Northeast US festival community with multiple appearances at Camp Creek, Jerry Jam, Strange Creek Campout, and many more, it was only a matter of time before Bearly Dead shows were being requested around the USA. In October 2022, Bearly Dead saddled up a new van and began touring nationally, performing their interpretation of the catalog across the United States and growing the family all along the way.
