Testimonials:

The Bucktown Revue has been very warmly received by our patrons for the last two years, and it continues to bring new and familiar faces back to the River Music Experience (RME) each month. The down home stories, songs, variety of musical acts, and humorous skits (such as the continuing saga of the “Pleasant Valley Hillbillies”…) always leave the crowd wanting more. We look forward to the start of the new season of Bucktown Revue in September, and we are very proud to host this entertaining family program here at the RME.” – Ellis Kell, Director of Programming & Education, River Music Experience

“The Bucktown Review is a two-hour entertainment croissant filled with lively music, skits. poetry and guffaws galore. A tasty morsel presented monthly by the best in area talent.” – Ed DeLong, Rock Island

“The Bucktown Revue is one of the QCA’s best kept secrets. It’s a fun night for the local performers as much as I would say for the general audience.” – Dr. Gregory L. Garvin

    Hello!
    I’m the accordion player with The Awful Purdies out of Cedar Rapids/Tiffin/Iowa City. We would love to talk to you about being guests on your show. We’re an all female band, 5 of us featuring guitar, banjo, mando, cello and me on the squeeze box/penny whistles/washboard and whatever else is needed. I’m also the Development Director at The Englert in Iowa City and I heard from Marc and Brandi that you might like to talk to me about bringing the show here!

    Hope to speak to you soon!
