QC Uncut, hosted by Sean Leary, offers uncut, unedited, unfiltered conversation with local figures of interest in and around the Quad-Cities area. It goes beyond the soundbites and offers context and in-depth conversation with area politicians, artists, community figures and more to give Quad-Citians a better, more informed picture of our community and the people making an impact in the Quad-Cities.
Legendary Quad-Cities musician Kerry Tucker (Douglas and Tucker, Einstein's Sister) talks about recording and finishing his new EP, "Undertow," at Abbey Road, the experience of working on his first solo album, and the various highlights of his four-plus decade career in music. Tucker talks about the Einstein's Sister album "Learning Curves" being named one of the top 100 power pop albums of all time by critics, playing at International Pop Overthrow, working with Miles Showell and Nick Davis (who have worked with everyone from Genesis to the Beatles and more), hearing his music on MTV, and more. Tucker will be performing an album release party with his band, Einstein's Sister, at Common Chord in downtown Davenport Friday night, and the record is available at CoOp and Ragged Records locations as well as all online music stores.

QC Uncut – Mike Thoms, Rock Island Mayor (Episode #128)
Mike Thoms is the incumbent Rock Island mayor facing off against challenger Ashley Harris for the Rock Island mayoral election to be held April 1. (Early voted has already started) As part of our ongoing commitment to providing fair, comprehensive and contextual conversation with local newsmakers, particularly surrounding important elections, QC Uncut has hosted Mr. Thoms and Mr. Harris in separate episodes. To keep the playing field as even and fair as possible, both candidates were asked exactly the same questions, were interviewed on the same day, and their time to speak was within the same parameter of roughly 75 minutes.
We talked to both of them about a wide-ranging number of topics, with many questions submitted by Rock Island residents. Conversation included discussion on the Rock Island downtown, 11th Street development, growing car theft and crime in the city, negative perceptions of the city, the Jakarta Jackson case, and more. Both conversations were in-depth and substantive and offer a wealth of information to help local residents make their own decision on the future direction of the city in their mayoral election. We hope you listen to both and get out the vote on April 1.
