Q Casino Announces Headliner, Morgan Wallen, April Wine, Drew Baldridge and Smithfield

Dubuque, IA - Q Casino is announcing four great shows this May!

Headliner with John Cafferty of the Beaver Brown Band with Michael `Tunes' Antunes, Randall Hall formerly of Lynyrd Skynard and Stephanie V :: Saturday, May 13 at 8pm

The legendary "East Coast Rock'n'Roll" group John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band began their career in 1972 and achieved mainstream success in the 1980s with the "Eddie & The Cruisers - Motion Picture Soundtrack". The hit single "On the Dark Side" held the "Number-One" position on the Billboard Rock charts and the MTV video charts for "five" consecutive weeks.

As of 2012, John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band remains a top concert attraction touring nationally on an annual basis and they have placed new songs into the soundtracks of several major motion pictures including "Jersey Girl" and the smash hit "There's Something About Mary."

Randall Hall has the Monkees to thank for his gritty guitar playing. In 1987 he was asked by guitarist Allen Collins to take his place in Lynyrd Skynyrd after Collins' paralyzing car accident. Hall remained a member of the band until 1994 and appeared on the albums Southern by the Grace of God, Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991, and The Last Rebel. The early 2000s found the guitarist fronting and touring with his own project, the Randall Hall Band.

Stephanie Varone is a singer, songwriter, and performer, combining her earthy old school Kansas City roots with a love of country, pop, classic rock, and soulful blues. She created her first self-titled album which sparked within the Midwest and abroad. In addition, Stephanie continues to draw in crowds as the edgy lead singer for both "Stephanie V `n Headliner" and "Bellebottom". Her live performances are always full of energy and inspiration, whether she's belting it out in a roadhouse, festival, or performing the national anthem in a jam-packed stadium.

Morgan Wallen :: Friday, May 19 at 8pm

You have probably seen Morgan Wallen on the hit show the Voice. His top songs include "The Way I Talk" which is climbing the country charts and his newest single, "Whiskey Glasses".

He headed out on a promotion tour of radio stations in the summer of 2016, giving him a chance to start playing for people again after spending so much of the previous year in writing rooms and the recording studio. The end goal is to be on a stage, making that emotional connection with his distinctive sound.

April Wine :: Saturday, May 20 at 8pm

In 2006 April Wine celebrated their 37th anniversary together with the release of their 16th studio album, "Roughly Speaking." The studio album, "Back To The Mansion" released in 2001 was April Wine's 15th studio album and first new release since 1994, and featured original members Myles Goodwyn (vocals, guitars and keyboards), Brian Greenway (guitars, vocals), Jim Clench (bass, background vocals), Jerry Mercer (drums).

"Roller" and "You Could Have Been a Lady" broke Billboard's Top 40 charts. In 2012 April Wine entered into their 42nd year as a band, with just as busy a schedule as ever... quite an accomplishment for any rock n' roll band!

Drew Baldridge & Smithfield :: Sunday, May 21 at 8pm

Music is best when it's authentic, when it comes straight from an artist's heart and bursts from the speakers. It makes a connection with the listener that forms an immediate bond. Drew Baldridge creates music with that kind of impact. Drew's top hits include "Rebound" and "Dance With Ya".

SmithField was founded in 2011 with a dream as big as their home state of Texas. Comprised of vocalists Trey and Jennifer, SmithField took the stage by storm with their memorable music and stunning harmonies. Their top hits include "Hey Whiskey" and "Nothing But the Night".
