We’re thrilled to report that Junetopia has expanded in its third year. The event began as a single day showcase of local music at Rozz-tox, and has grown so large it takes three days, two cities, two states and five venues to hold it all! Held Friday, June 16 –Sunday June 18, the event still showcases local artists and once again will raise money for the Humility of Mary Shelter and Kings Harvest Ministries.

DAVENPORT, 1/9/17 - The "Peace, Love & the Joy of Music: Ellis Kell Family Benefit Concert," scheduled for January 21st at the RiverCenter has already received massive support from the community. More than 680 people have responded to the Facebook event listing.
