This weekend you can catch the Terminator of contemporary rock music at Davenport’s Capitol Theater, or if folk-pop is more your speed, see Liliana Asta live at Dimensional Brewing Company in Dubuque. Tonight, Bob Dorr plays the blues at Octopus College Hill, and on Friday, Origami Summer comes to Gabe’s in Iowa City on their Midwest At Best Tour. Des Moines welcomes all things comics and pop culture as Des Moines Con kicks off, while The Ideal Theater brings the house down.
