upcoming concerts in quad cities casinos

at Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center, 7077 Elmore Ave., Davenport. But it appeared by the size of the audience on a pleasant August evening that the QCSO earned their keep for another noteworthy season.Seven-time Grammy Award-winning artist, Gladys Knight, who was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 100 greatest singers of all time will perform live Dec.

With the National Anthem being the only piece that garnered the attention of the crowd at large, I guess the night wasn't really about the music.

On this particular night, my wife & I agreed the Youth Symphony Orchestra's performance deserved a lot more time on stage (just three pieces of music were played by this very talented group of youngsters from around the region) before the QCSO took over in accompaniment of a very good pop ensemble covering Beach Boys tunes. The rest of the grounds fill in very quickly with small & large groups accessorized and fully stocked (wine & snacks & some more elaborate menus) for a long evening of merriment that may or may not be occasionally distracted by the musical performances. Tickets to the event are all general admission (purchased in advance or in a special line at the gate), so it seems patrons of the QCSO's actual music move into the fixed seats in front of the beautiful bandshell & stage or set up their lawn chairs and supplies immediately around them. The crowds start lining up on the surrounding streets & parking lots a few hours before the park's temporary gates are opened, readying themselves for a sort of shotgun start when veteran revelers scramble to their chosen spots on the parkgrounds where they stake out and cordon off spaces for family & friends in groups as large as a few dozen.

This annual outdoor event draws 10,000+ people to the park - plus a dozen or more pleasure boatloads along the levee wall - making it far more a social event to wrap up the community's summer than it is a serious musical concert. My wife & I attended the Symphony's 2018-19 season inaugural concert in Davenport's Leclaire Park on the banks of the Mississippi. Kudos to the QCSO for bringing music & musical education to the Quad Cities for so many years.
