We’ve got some soul / disco / rhythm & blues coming at you on the Main Stage this week, with grooves from America, France, and Ghana. We’ll also stop by the Country Bunker with two more Americans and a Welshman, before we get sophisticated in the Amphitheater with opera, trumpet, and piano from Georgia, France, and Israel. Then we’ll wrap up with our newest stage dedicated to the ghosts of the British Invasion.

It’s our one-year anniversary show, and man, did The Reaper pull together a great lineup this week with our headliner, The Raspberries’ Eric Carmen. This week brings the piano king of boogaloo, a drummer turned darts official, a bass player from The Pretenders, and a Scottish songstress to the Main Stage. We’ve also got three Americans in the House of Blues, including one of the greatest session guitarists ever, as well as a trip to the Jazz Cellar with one of the greatest session saxophonists ever.

We’ve got a loaded stage this week, headlined by Vegas nightclub legend Steve Lawrence. We’ll start you off with some British Island pop. Then we’ve got Czechoslovakia’s funkiest drummer, Cameroon’s funkiest drummer, and one of modern Southern Rock’s best drummers. We’ve also got some blues, jazz, and reggae, as well as woman who was American Idol’s vocal coach. There’s even a bit of music from Panama and Italy in this week’s Reaper’s Rotation.

This week the Reaper brings to us the greatest classical music satirist ever, a soap opera star with a connection to the wild frontier, and one of Canada’s best-known radio and TV personalities. We’ve got American techno, Turkish pop, Australian rock, Nepalese folk, French disco, and much more.

This week the Grim Reaper has selected a playlist that opens with a number one country crossover. We’ve also got a TV heartthrob one-hit wonder, some German and American hard rock, a triple shot of Indian music, and an African politician who composed his country’s national anthem.

I took last weekend off for New Years, but the Reaper just kept on harvesting souls. So, we’re going to catch up on the musicians worldwide who left us at the end of 2023, headlined by one of the great comedy brothers, one of the great tap dancing brothers, and one of the original Dixie Chicks. We’ll visit Jazz Cellar, the Festival Stage, and The Mosh Pit before we’re through.
