If you’re in the Front Row\, email Jesse (jricke@commonchordqc.org) to claim your tickets. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nGenre: Acoustic\, SongwritersDoors: 7:00pm / Show: 8pmTickets: $18 in advance / $20 day of show  \nFeatured Songwriters: Jeni Grouws\, Kevin GordonHost: David G SmithFeatured Young Artist: Eva Kendall \nSeating: All-seated\, intimate\, listening room-style show. Each ticket purchase guarantees a seat.Age Restriction: All Ages (Under 19 must be accompanied by an adult) \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nKevin 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. \nThe 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). \nBefore 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.” \nKevin 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. \n Jeni Grouwswww.facebook.com/jenigrouwsmusic \n \n“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) \nJeni 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. \n“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) \nDavid 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.” \nEva 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. \nHer 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. \nHaving 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. \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.

Voracious blues energy and ultimate soul power…impassioned vocals and pure inventiveness in his stellar guitar solos.” –Blues Music Magazine \n“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 \n“Soul-baring\, roadhouse-meets-church\, Memphis guitar licks…gritty voice…Southern colors and rootsy textures.” –Washington Post \nThroughout 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.” \nFor 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. \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.

He’s a great singer\, great guitar player and there’s no way you could miss his work as a songwriter.” – Ricky Skaggs \nJim 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. \nHe 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. \nOperating 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. \nFrom 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.” \nRespecting 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.” \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.

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. \nThe 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. \nWith 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. \nThe 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. \nTheir 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. \nSo 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. \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.
