Don’t let the chill in the air keep you from checking out the events in today’s Weekender. In Iowa City, Dubuque musician River Glen brings his brand of “poignant folk-pop” with his band and Calle Sur to the James Theater. Check out our review of his latest album before the show. In Des Moines, the gallery reception for GAIA II: The Pale Blue Dot Exhibition takes place on Friday. Our write-up of the exhibition calls it “A beguiling blend of expressive imagery and compelling messaging.” And in Rock Island, the Quad Cities punk supergroup Camp Regret drops their debut in a record release show at Rozz-Tox. Our review of the album is forthcoming, but here’s a spoiler: you don’t want to miss them live.
