Blues in Davenport, IA

The Mississippi River has carried jazz and blues up to Davenport since the steamboat era, and the Quad Cities still trade on that cultural current. The Raccoon Motel books national indie and Americana tours in a downtown dive-bar setting, while the historic Adler Theatre and Redstone Room host jazz and classical programming. The Rust Belt and Codfish Hollow extend the scene into surrounding communities, where rock, country, and hip-hop now share the same riverbanks.
