A theatrical musical event boasting the combined talents of father-and-son team John and Jonathan Lyons, the touring sensation Elvis Through the Years lands at Mt. Carroll's Timber Lake Playhouse on November 16, this rock-and-roll showcase designed to capture the essence of a young Elvis from his appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show right on through to the King's legendary comeback special from 1968.

With Distorted Sound raving that, in the band's most recent album Swan Song, the musicians "have laid their souls bare and offered us access to the most honest and intimate parts of themselves," the post-hardcore rockers of The Plot in You headline a November 8 concert at Davenport's Capitol Theatre, Rock 'N' Load adding that "this album is everything fans of The Plot In You would have come to expect of the group, while still sounding fresh and refined."

With the musicians having thus far released 20 studio albums, three live albums, two compilation albums, three EPs, and one box set over the course of more than four decades, the thrash-metal rockers of Overkill headline a November 9 concert at Davenport's Capitol Theatre, Metal Injection describing last year's Scorched as "a violently spiky and virtually flawless cherry on top of a 43-year-long career."

Praised by Time Out Chicago for their "heavenly harmonies on top of furious fingerpicking," the bluegrass quartet The Henhouse Prowlers headlines a November 9 concert at Davenport's Redstone Room, the group also lauded by Sound Fuse for their "straight-laced, tight-knit, barn-burning bluegrass with enough vocal harmonization to make Del McCoury blush."
