The Machine has forged a nearly 40 year reputation of extending the musical legacy of Pink Floyd. The New York-based quartet performs a diverse mix of PinkFloyd's extensive 16-album repertoire, complete with faithful renditions of popular hits as well as obscure gems. With stellar musicianship and passionate delivery, The Machine explores collective improvisation rivaling that of an early 1970's Pink Floyd, while their use of expanded theatrical elements and elaborate stage displays and lighting continues Pink Floyd’s spirit of the 1980's. The band is also known for recreating entire albums as a part of their show, accepting requests from fans, and for taking an A -Z approach in which one song is played for every letter of the alphabet. The band features founding member Tahrah Cohen (drums), longtime bandmates Scott Chasolen (keys, vocals) and Ryan Ball (guitar, vocals) and newest member Chris DeAngelis (bass, lead vocals).

Molly Tuttle is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and virtuosic guitarist whose innovative blend of bluegrass, Americana, pop, and rock has made her one of the most dynamic artists in modern roots music. In 2025, she released her boldest statement yet, the critically acclaimed “So Long Little Miss Sunshine”, nominated for two GRAMMY® Awards—Best Americana Album and Best Americana Performance for the lead single “That’s Gonna Leave A Mark.” Recorded in Nashville with producer Mike Joyce (Orville Peck, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson), the album marks Tuttle’s fifth full-length release and her most ambitious reinvention to date: a vibrant, deeply personal body of work rooted in self-acceptance and transformation. A highly decorated artist, Tuttle has been nominated for five GRAMMY Awards (including in the Best New Artist category) and earned back-to-back GRAMMY wins for Best Bluegrass Album with her band Golden Highway – “Crooked Tree” (2022) and “City of Gold” (2023) - becoming the first artist in the category’s history to do so. She is also the first woman to receive the IBMA Guitar Player of the Year award, alongside multiple additional IBMA and Americana Music Awards.

Created by Carl Palmer and his management, Welcome Back My Friends – An Evening with Emerson Lake &amp; Palmer will be presented with the full cooperation of the Estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. This is not a tribute act – this is the real thing. Through modern technology they will reunite the band: Palmer with his two bandmates, playing together along with Emerson and Lake, who both passed away in 2016. The show combines video performance of Emerson and Lake from a legendary sold out 1992 Royal Albert Hall ELP show, with live on stage performances of Palmer with his own ELP Legacy band, Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick. All the musicians play together in sync to present a complete and authentic ELP show.
With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide, ELP is one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson's flamboyant use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer and piano.

When it comes to groundbreaking bands in the Christian hard rock genre, Stryper remains renowned for its trademark style of “heavenly metal”, remarkable crossover success and enduring legacy. The group rose to prominence in the 1980s with Billboard Top 40 hits like “Calling On You”, “Honestly” and “Always There For You”. Stryper’s career album sales exceed 10 million worldwide, including 1986’s standard-bearing, multi platinum “To Hell With The Devil”. The band also made history when it notched two songs simultaneously in the MTV’s Top 10 with the videos “Free” and “Honestly”. Today, more than 40 years after emerging from the Southern California nightclub scene, Stryper continues to relentlessly show itself as a renewed force with unquenchable firepower. Featuring three original members including Michael Sweet (lead vocals, guitar) and Robert Sweet (drums), Oz Fox (guitar) and veteran bassist Perry Richardson (formerly of Firehouse), the group continues to create some of its most powerful and enduring music to date.<a href="https://skypac.org/stryper/" target="_blank" style="caret-color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #954f72; text-decoration: underline;" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #1155cc; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-size: auto; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-origin: padding-box; background-clip: border-box;"></a>

Across more than six decades, Del McCoury has remained one of the genre’s most influential voices, preserving its traditions while continually pushing its boundaries. Born in York County, Penn., Del McCoury discovered bluegrass through late-night radio and a fascination with the music of Earl Scruggs. In 1963, Bill Monroe invited him to join the legendary Blue Grass Boys. Monroe moved McCoury from banjo to guitar, made him lead singer and provided an education that few musicians have ever received—learning bluegrass directly from its creator. 
The modern Del McCoury Band began taking shape in the early 1980s when Del McCoury’s sons Ronnie McCoury (mandolin) and Rob McCoury (banjo) joined the group. Their work with Steve Earle on “The Mountain” introduced many new listeners to bluegrass, while appearances with Phish and performances at Camp Oswego opened the door to jam-band audiences and festivals across the country. Del McCoury was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2003, and over the years the band has earned multiple GRAMMY Awards and 10 IBMA Entertainer of the Year honors. Today, the Del McCoury Band—featuring Del McCoury, Ronnie McCoury, Rob McCoury, Alan Bartram and Christian Ward—continues to set the standard for live acoustic music.
