RIP 2024-05-10 Steve Albini; Dennis Thompson; Willie Hona

2024-05-10 No Comments

This week, the Reaper and I premiere some new changes for the show. Our Headliner, Steve Albini, becomes the first producer to make our stage. We’ll open with a track from the last surviving member of a rock group that’s being inducted to the Hall of Fame this October. We’ve got double-shots all the way down, heading Down Under for our Main Stage, then debuting our Beach Party stage in Jamaica, followed by a trip to our Festival Stage in Brazil, back home to America for the Country Bunker and Jazz Cellar, then to Italy for our other new stage, Locale Musicale.

RIP 2024-05-03 Duane Eddy; Richard Tandy; Robin George

2024-05-03 No Comments

Our headliner this week takes back to the era of James Dean, leather jackets, and drive-ins—rock and roll guitar legend Duane Eddy. For the second week in a row, a pioneer in prog rock keyboards joins us from England, and then a British glam rocker and American alt rocker hit the Main Stage. We’ve got American bluegrass and folk in the Country Bunker, followed by the debut of our newest stage, Le Cabaret, for music from the French-speaking countries. We’ve got some traditional Scottish music in the British Invasion, then some tuba and clarinet in the Amphitheater. We’ll close things up with some American punk and metal in the Mosh Pit.

This week we welcome another Rock and Roll Hall of Famer to the eternal stage, our headliner, Mike Pinder of the Moody Blues. Then it’s off to the Main Stage for some American rockabilly. We debut our new stage, The Streets, with rap from Britain and Norway, before heading to the Amphitheater for a double shot of organ recitals. We’ll also visit the House of Blues with a couple Americans, closing out the show in the Jazz Cellar in the USA and Germany.

RIP 2024-04-19 Dickey Betts; Pooch Tavares; O.J. Simpson

2024-04-19 No Comments

We lost a giant in the world of Southern Rock this week in our Headliner, Dickey Betts. The Allman Brothers will be bookending this week’s Reaper’s Rotation, in which you may notice we’ve tidied things up a bit here. Spring cleaning, you know? You’ll get more variety as we bring you a double shot from our Main Stage, Country Bunker, International Stage, Mosh Pit, and visit to The Church. We’ll take you to Norway, South Korea, Indonesia, Canada, and Japan, along with plenty of American artists, too.
