THE QUAD >>> Your going-out guide to the Quad-Cities
1. >>> SHOW TO SEE: Carney, The Brakes and Q-C band The Roadless will perform at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 15, at the Redstone Room, 129 Main St., Davenport. The Brakes are touring to promote their debut album, “Tale Of Two Cities,” which was released nationally on Tuesday.
“Tale Of Two Cities” is the best of the band’s live performances in New York and Philadelphia. The result is a high-energy rock album with a sentimental side in which band members occasionally trade in their guitars for trumpets and saxophones. Tickets are $7.

3. >>> HE SAID WHAT?: “I’m the writer, I’m the director, I’m the editor, I’m the performer. And all those people I’ve been — and still am — are out there with me. The playwright’s there, he helps write the songs. The director knows about pace. The performer, the stage actor knows how to hold a live audience. The film actor knows how to keep a closeup. All those personas are out there helping the singer-songwriter.” — Actor-musician Jeff Daniels, who performed at Circa ‘21 last week
4. >>> Teen Scene: Teens can work with a wide range of media to create their own sketchbook and learn about Op Art, the historical origins of tattooing and the art of scribbling during Teen Scene at the Figge Art Museum in downtown Davenport.
