- The Gamblers had a great time playing at Rhythm City Casino (the Davenport Casino Boat) on Fri/Sat June 18/19 from 6pm-10pm. This was our first time here. And it was a blast! 

- The Gamblers played a private party gig for the Kiwanis Club in the Arsenal Golf Club Ballroom in May. We had a great time! Very classy joint. Great people. A big thanks to Russ Scott (of Lucky Dog Poker syndicated column) for booking us.

- The Gamblers played a private party gig for the Arsenal Business Symposium at the i-Wireless Center main arena in April. What a thrill! We loved being in that huge space and entertaining hundreds of folks. We're getting spoiled!

- New Years Eve gig at Icons Martini  with Spider Bill Schaumburg was a blast!

- Lee and Spider Bill Schaumburg played at The Grape Life, Davenport on Sat Sept 5 from 8pm to 11pm.
- Our first time here!
- The Grape Life is a very cool little wine lounge. It’s located on the NW corner of Kimberly Road and Elmore Ave in Davenport, in the same building as Panera Bread.
- It has a feel of a nice, relaxing living room, with comfortable couches and easy chairs. You can buy wine by the glass ($5 to $8). And they also sell wine by the bottle ($10 to $30), to either drink there or take home with you.
- The focus is on wine, but they do have a small selection of beers and soft drinks.
- They also have wine-related gifts and accessories for sale.
- We had a friendly crowd! Fun evening! 

- “Lee Blackmon and the Gamblers” played a private gig at a neighborhood party Aug 15, and there was much rejoicing! We played on a deck, right on the edge of a beautiful lake, with a cool breeze behind us and a starry sky above us.
- A big thanks goes out to Lyn and Dick Byard for booking us. We had great fun!

- Lee and Doug Davis had a blast playing a private gig at the Green Gables Marina party in Le Claire on July 18.
- Big thanks to:

- The Gamblers performed for over 450 people at the John Deere Pavilion in Moline and on the big stage at the Waterfront Convention Center in Bettendorf. The two gigs were held on May 6 & 7 as a part of the 2009 Regional Government Contracting Small Business Symposium.
- We had a blast!
- But now we're spolied after getting such great food, and having our own private Green Room back stage, complete with couches, bathrooms, and showers! Wow!
