With his recent album Invisible Secret delivering what One Nation News deemed "lush, Latin inflected works that reflect jazz through a prism of salsa," beloved Steinway Artist and Quad Cities native Byron "BK" Davis brings his Audacity Blues Tour to Common Chord's Redstone Room on August 5, the Davenport venue treating audiences to the musical gifts of an accomplished sextet led by the master pianist who boasts more than four decades of professional accomplishments.

Music lovers wouldn't necessarily consider the styles an ideal match. But on August 10, Blues Beatles will wow Rhythm City Casino Resort visitors by instilling the songs of John, Paul, George, and Ringo will distinct blues rhythms and phrasing – a blend that had On Stage Magazine raving that the group's Brazilian musicians “seamlessly and successfully melded classic Beatles tunes with deep-down Southern blues. These reinventions of familiar Beatles music lead a listener to wonder what would have happened if the Beatles had signed with Motown through some crazy twist of fate.”

A five-time Grammy nominee whose accolades also include two Academy of Country Music Awards, a CMT Music Awards, and even a Teen Choice Award from seven nominations, singer/songwriter Sam Hunt, on August 1, serves as the opening headliner for this year's Mississippi Valley Fair's grandstand acts, the artist's chart-topping hits including "Leave the Night On," "Take Your Time," "House Party," and "Body Like a Back Road."

Two chart-topping, Grammy-winning, multi-platinum-selling icons of hip-hop and rap share a co-headlining showcase as grandstand performers at the 2023 Mississippi Valley Fair, their August 3 concert event boasting performances by Ludacris, well-known as a mainstay in the popular Fast & the Furious screen franchise, and Lil John, a music legend since his status as frontman of Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz.
