Avey Grouws Band blends blues, roots, rock and soul as powerfully as the Mississippi River runs through their home in the Quad Cities of Iowa & Illinois. Led by powerhouse vocalist Jeni Grouws and ace guitar man Chris Avey, the two-time top ten Billboard charting band are known for their gritty sound and enthusiastic shows. Sophomore album, "Tell Tale Heart", was recorded in Nashville, TN with Grammy award winner, Casey Wasner (Keb' Mo', Taj Mahal). Released September 2021, "Tell Tale Heart" debuted #7 on the Billboard Blues Album chart. Avey Grouws Band also hit #10 on the Billboard charts with their 2020 debut album, "The Devil May Care". This past year, Avey Grouws Band toured Florida, the East Coast, the Midwest including Kansas City and Topeka, and to Las Vegas to play the iconic Big Blues Bender.
The Ronley King Band is the culmination of three individual experiences brought together for a common cause. While this group is still relatively new to the scene; Ron, Kaleb, and Ethridge have played together on many different stages, traveled many miles, and worked together in various projects over the last four years. The music is their product; having fun is their principle. No matter the show, they hope the crowd can recognize their love of performing, not only for others but for themselves.
Doors Open at 6:00
Music Starts at 6:30
