Here it is-The Entertainment
These bands are scheduled to play at the party.
B.B. King-The man makes the Blues feel good. In 1947, B.B. King hitchhiked from Mississippi to Nashville to pursue a career in music – and music has never been the same since. He can make a guitar sound like a human moaning, with his complex vocal-like string bends. He has won 11 Grammy Awards and six Lifetime Achievement Awards. In five decades, he has released more than 50 albums and composed such classics as "The Thrill is Gone", "You Don't Know Me", and "Why I Sing the Blues". In his late 70s, B.B. King still plays 250 shows per year. He's quite literally a man who needs no introduction. B.B. King is the King of Blues.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd-Still only in his early 20s, Kenny Wayne Shepherd is reinventing Blues-Rock for an entire generation. He's quickly becoming a living legend, having delivered three straight No. 1 Blues albums and several No. 1 mainstream Rock singles – not to mention receiving a pair of Grammy nominations and winning two 1998 Billboard Music Awards. Performing live is the cornerstone of Kenny Wayne Shepherd's prosperous career, which has included touring stints with the likes of Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Black Crowes with Jimmy Page, and the Eagles. Even James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, has called him "one of the wonders of the world". This Blues giant will surely leave his mark on you.
Jeff Beck-Jeff Beck can play a guitar as gracefully as a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle can glide through scenic mountain byways – but he doesn't always follow the speed limit. He replaced Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds after Clapton left the group in 1964, and more recently, he released his 17th album, "You Had it Coming". Beck has been enthralled by the nature of sound all his life, and continues to take guitar playing to new and innovative levels that will have you reeling. Jeff Beck is one of those rare musical artists who is always expanding the limits of his art.
The Funk Brothers-Heading from Motown to Milwaukee, the Funk Brothers are used to making music history – so now they'll help make motorcycle history at CLUB H.O.G. XX. The legendary studio band of Motown played on more No. 1 records than the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, and Elvis … combined! They were the heartbeat to songs like, "My Girl", "I Heard it Through the Grapevine", and "What's Going On", and most recently revisited these classics in the award-winning film, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" – which won two Grammys and several other awards.
The Fabulous Thunderbirds-For 25 years, The Fabulous Thunderbirds have garnered a reputation as the quintessential American band. Drawing from a diversity of musical styles, the band is a musical hybrid, blending Blues with R&B and Rock 'n' Roll. In doing this, they've created a distinct, powerful sound for themselves; a sound that captured the attention of the great Muddy Waters, who named the band's singer, Kim Wilson, as his favorite harmonica player and vocalist. Hits like "Tuff Enuff" and "Wrap It Up" landed them on charts, but it's on stage where they feel most at home. A high-energy live band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds is sure to bring the house down.
Herb Dixon-We promise, you haven't seen – or heard – a comedian quite like Herb Dixon before – unless you've seen him before. Herb is a veteran of the comedy circuit, serving up a unique mix of energetic storytelling and "sound impressions". Just wait until you hear his hilarious impression of a rider kick-starting an old Panhead Harley. It sounds so real you can almost smell the fumes!

Lukyn Skywyrd-The best music from the Southern Rock era
Jamie Jess-Original music, plus a variety of 70s, 80s, and 90s Rock
