Please vote in both polls.
VarietyFest is covers of songs by any of the following six artists:
- Dio
- Captain Beefheart
- Wire
- Creedence Clearwater Revival
- The Doors
- Neil Diamond
Same idea as our Singer-Songwriter fests except this includes bands. But not just any band. It must be one of the six specified artists. If this proves successful, we may have future VarietyFests, each with a new set of six artists.
For a description of Easy Listening, see this WikiPedia page:

A couple of examples are Andy Williams and Doris Day.
If anyone wants to collab on a Neil Diamond song, let me know. I can do the vocals (quite like Neil), but am struggling to get the music right on a few... in particular, 'Forever in Blue Jeans', 'I am I said', and 'Love on the Rocks'.
