Get ready to rock out with The Allman Brothers, revered for their blues-infused rock from the heart of the South, and travel through the poetic and poignant landscapes of Bob Dylan's folk and rock anthems, originating from the quiet town of Hibbing, Minnesota. The quintessential Rockford, Illinois band, Cheap Trick, will deliver their high-energy rock tunes, while the Grateful Dead's psychedelic melodies transport you to the vibrant and eclectic culture of San Francisco, California.

Experience the heartland rock of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers from Gainesville, Florida, and groove to the rock and roll beats of Little Feat from Los Angeles, California. O.A.R.'s alternative rock anthems bring us back to Rockville, Maryland, and the blues-rock stylings of ZZ Top will make you feel the heat of Houston, Texas.

Get ready to salute "The Boss", Bruce Springsteen, and his anthemic rock medleys from the working-class heart of Freehold, New Jersey. Sheryl Crow's pop-rock and country-infused songs will take you to the scenic landscapes of Kennett, Missouri. The Eagles will serenade you with their Topanga Canyon country-rock harmonies, while Northern Virginia’s Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters will keep the rock spirit alive with their post-grunge hits.

John Mellencamp's heartland rock will resonate with the roots of Seymour, Indiana, while John Hiatt's Americana tunes echo with the sounds of Indianapolis, Indiana. The smooth rockabilly and roots rock tunes of Chris Isaak hailing from Stockton, California, and the timeless folk-rock melodies of The Band from West Saugerties, New York, will add richness to your musical journey.

Delve deeper into the musical landscape with Leesburg, Virginia's own Stilson Greene and Todd Wright, the folk rock harmonies of CSNY (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), the jam band vibes of Charlottesville, Virginia's Dave Matthews Band, and the alternative rock anthems of R.E.M. from Athens, Georgia.

From the new wave punk of Blondie originating in New York City to the electrifying blues-rock guitar of Stevie Ray Vaughan from Dallas, Texas, there is something for every taste.

We'll keep the beat going with Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes' Jersey Shore sound, Steve Miller's San Francisco rock, James Taylor's folk-rock from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Pearl Jam's grunge from Seattle, Washington, The Cars' new wave tunes from Boston and the eclectic, new wave beats of New York City’s Talking Heads.
