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