Hello!

|
As you've likely heard by now, the Mississippi has gone from low to overflowing and some of River Drive is now closed for flood protection. The good news? Our downtown businesses will remain open and accessible thanks to the amazing crew at Public Works! Visit the City website or QC-Times for flood updates, check out this handy detour map, and stay tuned to our own Downtown Facebook Page for more news as it develops. Now, on to the events!
After jamming with artists such as Dave Matthew Band, Prince, and his own Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, five-time Grammy winner Victor Wooten is taking his talents to River Music Experience! Voted one of the "Top Ten Bassists of All Time" by Rolling Stone, RME's Third Sunday Jazz Performance and Workshop featuring Victor Wooten is not to be missed! Be sure to check out Cosby Sweater, Kris Lager Band, and Euforquestra this week at RME, too.
Grab limited edition vinyl, listen to FREE live music, and take advantage of great deals during Record Store Day at Ragged Records on Saturday! The event also doubles as the Hello Quad Cities Vol. Two Release Party! Before you go, start Earth Day early with the Freight house Farmers Market by participating in Earth Day EGGstravaganza where your kids can have a little fun finding treat filled eggs from various vendors.
Sample local beer and food during the Quad Cities Food Hub's "Celebrating Growing Open House" tonight! Learn about new projects including a virtual online market and a variety of initiatives ranging from commercial kitchens to a new grocery store.
 Five time 2009 Tony nominee, Rock of Ages, an arena-rock love story told through the hits of Journey, Night Ranger, Styx, and more, makes it's way to the Adler Theater Wednesday! Don't miss this show about dreaming big, playing loud, and partying on to the greatest songs of the '80s. Don't miss out on the touching and spine-tingling masterpiece, Cinderella, presented by the Ballet Quad Cities on Saturday as well.
 Leading an intriguing career mix as a soloist, recording artist, chamber musician, orchestral leader, and associate professor of music at the University of Iowa, violinist Katie Wolfe will impress tonight at the Figge! While at the museum, enjoy a musical tour of artworks during Thursdays at the Figge: The Sound of Art. For those high school art students looking for college-level experience and portfolio preparation, be sure to drop off your portfolio for the Figge's Summer Drawing Program. One of Chicago's finest bands returns to the River Music Experience once more this Saturday! Family Groove Company is always a good time and we're sure this visit will be no different. Head out Tuesday to RME as well to check out a scholar-led viewing and discussion of America's Music Series: "Broadway- Tin Pant Alley" Film. Looking for an afternoon of fun? Once Upon a Tea Tyme at the German American Heritage Center will take place during their Victorian Bridal Tea event. Learn about Victorian tea traditions and customs over tea and a lavish buffet of sweet and savory treats. Feel free to dress up or simply come as you are!
