Your roots music hometown

Start 2026 right at Bucktown!

Looking for a great way to get 2025 going in a happy direction? Join us 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16 for the Bucktown Americana Music Show — a relaxed, welcoming evening of great songs, great stories, and guaranteed good vibes.

We’re thrilled to welcome Carol Montag (pictured), a wonderfully expressive singer-songwriter whose music is heartfelt, honest, and deeply human. Carol has shared the stage with artists like Arlo Guthrie, Greg Brown, David Wilcox, John Gorka, John Stewart, and even Three Dog Night — and she brings that same seasoned warmth and joy to every room she plays.

If you’re ready for two hours to unplug, laugh a little, and simply enjoy some live music, this show is for you. Think of it as two hours of happiness to start off 2025 on the right foot!

⭐ Location: Rock Island Library Watts-Midtown Branch Theater, 2715 30th St., Rock Island.

Special thanks to our season sponsor, Picture Perfect Travel. The Bucktown guarantee: Two hours of happiness!
