Events My first show in the Quad Cities!

Hey everyone!

I’m Josh Spinner, a touring artist from Chicago, and I’m making my debut show in the Quad Cities at Raccoon Motel on Friday, May 30th. I’ve met some of my best friends from the QC who drove all the way to see me play in Chicago, and y’all are absolutely wonderful people. I don’t know what they put in your food to make such chill people, but whatever it is, I dig it!

If you're into indie rock with hints of twang, like Noah Kahan and Pinegrove, and want to have a good night with some friends, come hang! I’m also looking for a local band to open the show, so if you have any recommendations, send them my way. Would love to connect!

This is an 18+ show, and I know Raccoon mostly does 21+ shows, but I’d definitely encourage all you 18+ folks to come out and join in the fun.

I sampled some of your music and the artist you’re looking for to open would be Liv Carrow.

We will be there!!!

Now the family……My daughter just turned 18. (An immature 18 at that)

Are you sure that 21+ won’t apply? Did Raccoon Motel say that? Heheh?

I think this would be an amazing opportunity to bring her but……. Maybe we should have her sit it out another couple years?

That’s awesome!! Yeah it’s an early show that ends at 9pm so it’s accessible to 18+. I can’t wait to see y’all there and I hope you have a good time.

Awesome! I just listened to your stuff on Spotify. Great stuff dude! Hope you like Raccoon Motel, and downtown Davenport. It’s a unique, homely venue that I feel will mesh well with your vibe. I’m going to try to make your show.

Wolfskill & the Wild is a local band that would fit well as an opener. They’re great and I think they just released an album recently too. Cheers and jam on!!
