Touring in support of their 2026 recording I Don't Like What It Does to Me, the Dutch dark-wave artists of Bragolin headline a September 6 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, Post-Punk.com stating that in the band's latest album, "The hooks arrive fast, the atmosphere never loosens its grip, and the songs move with a furtive elegance, as melody and menace circle each other like figures glimpsed through smoke and ritual light."

Hailed by Spectrum Culture as a band that "has a knack for cooking up a good groove," the touring musicians and Tel Aviv natives of Sababa 5 headline a special September 4 concert at Rock Island venue Rozz-Tox, their 2026 album Çeva Va Ça Va lauded by YouAndTheMusic.com as "exactly what you want to hear from them; Middle Eastern global funk."

After Charlie Baty retired from touring in 2008, longtime frontman Rick Estrin brought in guitar virtuoso Kid Andersen and formed Rick Estrin & the Nightcats, an ensemble built around the bandleader's unmistakable harmonica work, vocals, and songwriting, and one performing a special Mississippi Valley Blues Society at Davenport's Gypsy Highway Bar & Grill on August 30.

Although the band has been lauded by Today's Country Magazine as "one of the must-see acts when you visit Nashville," you'll only have to travel as far as Davenport to see the Southern-rock and soul musicians of Hippies & Cowboys, who, at the Raccoon Motel, will headline a September 2 concert on their Midwestern tour.
