Join us for a concert by The Velies!
The Velies \thə vēlēz\ features Tom Swanson on lead guitar and vocals, Marty Reyhons, Jim The Mule on drums, Maureen (Mo) Carter (Busted Chandeliers, Mo & Co.) on lead vocals, guitar and keyboards, and a bass player Alex Axup.
The Velies are the Quad Cities' house band. They exemplify American Rock music at it's finest, blending the grit of Uncle Tupelo, The Heartbreakers, and Crazy Horse with the passion of Janis Joplin, Chrissie Hynde, and Bonnie Raitt. They can be rough and raw with songs like "Tonight" and "How To Be", and on the turn of a dime create power-pop ear-candy on tracks such as "Hardware Store Man" and "Traveling Boots."
Attendees are encouraged to bring food and drink to this program. In the case of inclement weather, this program will be held inside the library.
The Summer Concert Series is funded by the Bettendorf Public Library Foundation and supported by our Title Sponsor: TBK Bank; our Autographed Edition Sponsors: Bettendorf Rotary Club, Duck Creek Tire & Service, and WVIK.
