As a lifelong journalist\, Ridolfi builds songs around specific events\, emotions and observations. \nHis 2010 song\, “Drawn by Love\,” won the Bettendorf Library Civil Rights songwriting contest\, and celebrates the thousands of couples drawn by love to Iowa after the Supreme Court opened marriage to all. A new song\, “Beyond the Hollow\,” pines for unfulfilled longing. \nRidolfi heeds Guy Clark’s maxim to be specific\, but leave room for listeners. And if they start singing along\, even better. \nHe and his wife\, Sandy\, live in Rock Island\, Ill.\, where he has enjoyed a place in the St. Joseph Evening Meal monthly song circle for 20 years. \nCarol Montagwww.carolmontag.com \n“Upon hearing her music I was stunned and couldn’t wait to write about her. Once I even rented a bus and took a bunch of Des Moines Register reporters and editors to hear Carol sing. Carol has a true gift! Powerful\, beautiful\, harmonic\, soulful\, real. I’d match her voice and ability to engage an audience with any female vocalist anywhere”. – Julie Gammack\, former Des Moines Register columnist \n“Carol has a touch of homespun about her\, but she takes the stage like a pro.” – Chuck Mitchell  \n“A singer of new songs written by her for her. She cannot be categorized\, she must be heard.” – Burlington Arts Council  \nPerforming singer/songwriter Carol Montag has been described by folk music legend Tom Paxton as a “genuine discovery” and “the best thing to come out of Iowa since Bonnie Koloc.” Her influences include Joni Mitchell\, Judy Collins\, Eva Cassidy\, Julie Andrews\, James Taylor and many others. She has recorded four solo albums and two Christmas CDs. She is due to release her new album titled “Strange Ballet” in early 2025. \nCarol has opened for or shared the stage with Arlo Guthrie\, Michael Johnson\, Jim Post\, Greg Brown\, Priscilla Herdmann\, David Wilcox\, John Gorka\, John Stewart\, Cliff Eberhardt\, Larry Groce\, and Three Dog Night. She was commissioned to write music for Ballet Iowa and Ballet LaCrosse and performed live with both companies. Carol was invited by the former US Ambassador to Cambodia\, Kennet Quinn\, to perform at the 2010 World Food Prize Laureate Award Ceremony. Past performers at the ceremony include such notables as Ray Charles\, John Denver\, and Simon Estes. Carol recently won The IndieFEST Film Festival Award of Recognition for her music video titled “Strange Ballet”. She was also a finalist\, 2015 IMMERSE Artist/Writer Competition – GMA (Gospel Music Assoc.) Carol performs original songs\, traditional and contemporary folk\, and songs from the Great American Songbook on acoustic guitar and piano. \nDavid G Smithwww.davidgsmithmusic.com \nDavid 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.

Brothers\, sisters\, fathers\, mothers\, sons\, and daughters understand one another at the purest level. When families rally around music\, they speak this oft-unspoken bond aloud and into existence. After 25 years\, twelve albums\, five Grammy Award nominations\, and sold out shows everywhere\, North Mississippi Allstars open up their world once again on their thirteenth album\, Set Sail [New West Records]\, welcoming other family (by blood and by the road) into the fold. \nAs legend has it\, Luther and Cody Dickinson started the band in 1996 as a loose collective of like-minded second-generation musicians who shared a local repertoire and regional style. Over the years\, the lineup shifted by design\, and each subsequent record offered up a different combination of collaborators. This time around\, they mined the talents of Jesse Williams on bass and Lamar Williams\, JR. on vocals. During the Allman Betts Band Family Revival\, the Dickinsons first linked up with Lamar\, son of the Allman Brothers bassist Lamar Williams\, Sr.\, becoming fast friends and collaborators and eventually paving the way for Set Sail. \n“The chemistry we have with this lineup is powerful\,” observes Luther. “We are all second-generation musicians and share a telepathic\, relaxed ease about creating and performing. I believe music is a form of communion with our loved ones and conjuring this vibe with members of musical families can be inspirational. Lamar and I are like-minded. I’ve never had the pleasure of working with a singing partner like Lamar. He has a true-blue quality in his musicality that will pull you in and break your heart. At the same time\, Jesse grew up playing music with his brothers and his father—as did we. He plays like a sibling. We recorded the album fresh off the road and captured the energy we had worked up with him. I’m drawn to musical families\, regardless of style. Playing with second- or third-generation players allows us an easy unspoken musical dialog. It’s not a big thing; it’s just what we do. We never had to figure out what it means and takes to be a musician. We all inherently know.” \nFollowing 2019’s Up and Rolling\, which received a Grammy Award nod in the category of “Best Contemporary Blues Album\,” Set Sail continues the band’s tradition of creating roots music that displays remarkable variety. Luther and Cody Dickinson dig in with the production and different guitar tones; the record sizzles with hard yet understated groove\, grown folk music. Luther’s wide-ranging guitar style features jazz riffs\, psychedelic sounds\, and soulful slide. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Cody draws on roots music\, rock\, jazz\, rap\, and other styles to create rhythms that propel the band’s sounds and move it forward. Their two aesthetics combine to create the band’s unique style\, “Primitive Modernism\,” melding the new and the old\, traditional\, and futuristic\, crafted lyrics and improvisational music. Speaking of\, the first single and title track “Set Sail Part I” [feat. Lamar Williams\, JR.] rides a riff right out of the Southern Delta into the embrace of a horn section as the vocal interplay simmers on the line\, “The water may rise again\, but we shall set sail.” \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.

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.

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.

Percussion is a large part of the music\, and rhythms are intricate\, with many types of drums and drummers playing at once. All members of Bayati came together through their membership in the Traditional Music Society of Kansas City\, a non-for profit aimed at providing music and dance classes and showcases to the community\, and care about the core values of sharing these musical and dance traditions with the public. For Bayati\, music and dance act as a way to build community and come together. Drumming and dance traditions in these cultures act as a way to form bonds and share experiences. The group aims to provide beauty to the community and a shared experience by introducing the community to another cultural tradition that can be shared. \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.

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. Enthusiastic fans have lapped up the chance to see Terry and EXTC perform all those classics live once more.Alongside Terry the EXTC line-up features frontman Steve Hampton (lead vocals & guitar – Joe Jackson\, The Vapors and Dead Crow Road) and Terry Lines (bass & vocals – The Rams and Dead Crow Road). \nTerry\, Steve\, and Terry bring you the full EXTC experience with their mesmerising and engaging live performances as you relive the heyday of XTC. With new material already in the works\, EXTC is a band on an upward trajectory. With their popularity gaining momentum and international tour schedules increasing\, it is clear the sky is the limit for Terry Chambers and EXTC! A brand new live album will be released by a US-based record label on Friday\, April 4\, 2025. \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. No\, wait\, maybe it is.

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.

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.
