Make plans to stop out at The Tangled Wood (3636 Tanglewood Road Bettendorf) this Saturday Jun 20 for live music from Have Your Cake! The tunes will kick-off at 7 p.m.

From Have Your Cake on Facebook:

“Despite Covid, We are playing this show because it is a beautiful and large outdoor venue with plenty of room. The success of these kinds of activities is dependent on public safety. Please be mindful that many people are at risk of being severely affected and just because you may be healthy does not mean you’re not unwittingly exposing others.

The Tangled Wood has lots of outdoor seating and I’ve observed their staff are wearing protective gear in order to serve you outdoors to minimize the need to travel to the bar. It’s not a bad idea to bring your own chairs or blanket to sit on their spacious lawn as well.”
