The Beach Boys have continued to create and perform with the same imagination and style that marked their debut more than 50 years ago, with unforgettable classics such as “Surfin’,” “I Get Around,” and “California Girls.”

Selling more than 20 million albums worldwide, the Grammy Award-nominated quartet The B-52s has impacted alternative music, fashion and culture over the course of four decades with hits such as “Rock Lobster,” “Love Shack” and “Private Idaho.”
North Carolina-raised Charlie Daniels made his mark with Southern rock anthems, award-winning country hits and gospel albums. Equal parts rock, blues, jazz, country, soul, and bluegrass, The Marshall Tucker Band has a music catalog consisting of more than 20 studio albums including songs like “Can’t You See” and “Heard It in a Love Song.”
Chicago has garnered two Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a Chicago street dedicated in their honor. The band hits the South Terrace stage to perform their well-known tunes such as “25 or 6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Feeling Stronger Every Day,” and many others.
The O’Jays have been performing for over 50 years. Their single “Love Train,” rose to No. 1 on both the R&B Singles and the Billboard Hot 100 charts upon release. Other chart-topping hits include “Backstabbers,” “For The Love of Money,” and “Use Ta Be My Girl.” Classic R&B hits such as “Celebration,” “Cherish,” and “Ladies Night” have earned the Grammy-winning group Kool & The Gang global fame and recognition and a following that spans generations.
Amy Grant is recognizable in both the Christian and pop worlds, selling more than 30 million albums worldwide and receiving six Grammys, a star on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Music City Walk of Fame.
