A couple of weeks ago, Hal Reed celebrated his birthday. For
those of you not in the know, Hal is the owner of The Muddy Waters in
Bettendorf. The Muddy Waters celebrates
in grand style – with a weekend-long birthday bash!
I attended Saturday night’s party, as I spent Friday evening
at 2 venues with 1st Impression and Lee Blackmon. A few musicians
from local bands got together and started out the evening with a jam. With Hal on harmonica and vocals, and the
likes of Jimmy VanHyfte and Curtis Hawkins, it was a memorable opening act.
Afterwards the Kinsey Report took the stage for their set and made the evening
complete.
I heard this week that a new bar has opened in Downtown
Davenport. In the space that used to be the 811 Lockdown, meet… Zero to Sixty.
Chuck Murphy posted on my timeline this week that he’ll be playing there
tomorrow night from 10-2. I also wanted
to mention that I’ve been hearing rumors that The Firehouse on Hickory Grove
Road is serving up live music every other Friday night – opposite the Fridays
they have karaoke. I’m going to be
checking that out too – but I haven’t heard of any local bands that have played
there.
This week:
Friday night – Barrel House 211 is running a double feature
this week, with MER at 5:30 and The Blackstones at 10. Funktastic Five is at
Rascals, Cobalt Blue is playing 11th street Precinct, and Brady
Street Pub has The Lowdown. Simon Says Uncle can be found at the Rusty Nail,
and Grand Larsony is playing Purgatorys. Jason Carl’s band is playing
Generations, and The Edje Nightclub has Smooth Groove.
Saturday: Smokehouse is playing a benefit Saturday afternoon
and early evening at Racers Edge, and 1st Impression will be
following them at 9:30. The Karry Outz are playing Rascals, The Candymakers are
at 11th Street Precinct, and the Odeon in Clinton has Pash n Brew. Curtis Hawkins band is at The Muddy Waters and
Cosmic is playing Mulligans. Justin Morrissey can be found at Bleyarts and you
can find Machine Gun Willie at Ducky’s Lagoon.
There’s plenty of live music this weekend – so get out and
enjoy some!
