I just saw Dennis DeYoung (former front man for Styx) last week and he was INCREDIBLE … sounded great, put on an awesome show.
He would be a perfect act for some overnight town in 2013, believe me!

I’m hoping for HairBall somewhere this year. They do an incredible Brian Johnson (AC/DC) and Freddie Mercury (Queen) impersonations! Gotta Love 80s Hair Bands!

You would need to look at who will actually be touring this summer, if possible who is in the area in July. You also have to use prior acts as a measuring stick of the types of acts that RAGBRAI ask to perform. With that in mind here are a few possibles (IMHO)
Foreigner
Bryan Adams
Burton Cummings (Of The Guess Who)
Matchbox 20

Some nice smooth swing music (Big Band era) would be wonderful for us older cyclists and dance enthusiatics so we can “cut the rug” during the evening hours. Cheers.

Michrider, All was doing was speculating, and a little wishing
I am sure I am going to enjoy whatever entertainment there is!
By the way, I don’t know what happened but the list got posted before I finished the list.

Ed, speculating is good, we all do it on this forum! Welcome to the forum & RAGBRAI!!!! I’m glad your so excited about RAGBRAI. You’ll have a great time! My favorite group in the past few years was 38 Special in 2011 and of course Johnny Holms Band (read that to mean Jordan Holms) every year!!!!!

I would stay up past my bed time for a reunion of Molly Nova and the Blue Band. Molly Nova was terrific.
