A Rockford Summer Tradition
Join us every Thursday for Dinner on the Dock (DOD), where great food, cold beer, and live music come together on the riverfront. Set against the backdrop of the Rock River, this weekly event is all about community, good vibes, and summer nights done right.
There are plenty of options to soak up the DOD atmosphere, whether you’re sitting down for dinner, relaxing in the lounge, finding a spot on the lower dock, or pulling up by boat—there’s no better place to be on a Thursday night.

Lola Blu is a rising country singer-songwriter from Rockford, Illinois, known for her striking, raspy voice and magnetic stage presence. Blending country and southern rock with inspiration from Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Whiskey Myers, she delivers songs that dive into love, heartbreak, self-discovery—and the occasional party anthem.
Backed by her powerhouse band—Matt Zito (lead guitar), Tate Medina (rhythm guitar), Logan Taylor (bass), and Will Lewis (drums)—Lola brings a true rock ‘n’ roll energy to every performance. She’s shared the stage with artists like Terri Clark, Trey Lewis, Tanner Usrey, and Mackenzie Carpenter, captivating audiences with her raw emotion and dynamic range.
Lola has earned major recognition, including multiple Josie Music Award nominations and being named 2024 Breakthrough Artist of the Year by the Midwest Country Music Organization. Her singles “Better Believe” and “3” (played on 60+ stations) paved the way for her debut EP, Good Ole Days, released summer 2024.
