The Jan/Feb 2021 covers fest is once again a tribute to the musicians who died in the previous year.

Thanks again to Mike_S for the festival graphics. The artists Mike has chosen for the Lost in 2020 banner are (left to right) Eddie Van Halen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Van_Halen), Charley Pride (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charley_Pride), Peter Green (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Green_(musician)), Vera Lynn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Lynn), Little Richard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Richard), Leslie West (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_West), Neil Peart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Peart), Kenny Rogers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Rogers), Steve Priest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Priest), Lyle Mays (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyle_Mays), Spencer Davis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Davis), Pete Way (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Way), Helen Reddy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Reddy), and John Prine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Prine). Of course, the fest is not restricted to just those artists. You can cover any artist who died between Jan 1, 2020 and Dec 31, 2020. We'll accept covers of any song the artist performed on or wrote/co-wrote. However, please keep in mind that the intention is to pay tribute to the artist who died, not the band they were in. So try to choose songs that prominently feature the artist who died in 2020.

There are several websites with lists of artists who died in 2020. See this search link:
