The next few weeks the stage will be rocking at Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe.

From rock to country and everything in between, the calendar is chock full of big-name entertainment.

On Friday, it’s the chart-topping country quartet, Parmalee. Consisting of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals and drums), cousin Barry Knox (bass) and their best friend Josh McSwain (lead guitar), Parmalee is the quintessential American country band.

Raised on a diet of Southern rock, country and blues, they formed in 2001 as a bunch of small town boys chasing wild weekend nights, but their talents eventually took them beyond the little cement-block barn they rehearsed in and onto country music’s biggest stages, not to mention the top of Billboard’s country chart.

On Saturday, it’s Blue Öyster Cult. For four decades, BÖC has been thrilling fans of intelligent hard rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. Indeed, the Long Island, New York-based band is revered within the hard rock and heavy metal scene for its pioneering work.

Blue Öyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because it’s one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success.

The band is often cited as a major influence by other acts such as Metallica, and BÖC was listed in VH1’s countdown of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.

Nov. 9 it’s LeAnn Rimes. The youngest recipient of a Grammy Award, Rimes was the first country recording artist to win in the “Best New Artist” category. She has sold more than 44 million albums, won a second Grammy, three Academy of Country Music Awards and 12 Billboard Music Awards.

She has placed 42 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, 13 of which are top-10 hits, and has scored numerous hit singles in her career.

Lee Brice and Randy Houser take the stage on Nov. 11 for an acoustic evening.

Brice is a craftsman, the kind whose boundless desire to hone his skills and relentless pursuit of perfection are matched only by his humility about the entire process. His latest album, “I Don’t Dance,” is a showcase for his painstaking approach to writing and recording, with his distinctive fingerprints clearly emblazoned on every element of the album.

With his inimitable voice, Houser racked up three consecutive No. 1 hits and more than four million in singles sales to date with his Stoney Creek Records album, “How Country Feels.” He topped the charts with the title track, “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and “Goodnight Kiss” (also his first No. 1 as a songwriter) and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and CMA Song of the Year-nominated “Like a Cowboy.” Houser added a fourth No. 1 to his catalog with “We Went” from his latest album, “Fired Up.”

On Nov. 12 it’s Cheap Trick. Since the ’70s Cheap Trick has been blending elements of pop, punk and even metal in a way that is instantly catchy and recognizable. With timeless classics such as “I Want You to Want Me,” “Surrender,” and the late ’80s lighter-waving favorite, “The Flame,” Cheap Trick is a musical institution.

Gene Watson returns to the Peak on Nov. 17. At an age when most people are contemplating retirement, Watson is still making some of the greatest records of his life, receiving such accolades as Album of the Year and even Album of the Decade from journalists around the world.

Watson is one of the rare singers who still sings in the same key as he did 30 years ago and his audiences respond with standing ovations night after night when he nails the octave jumping last note on his most requested song, the now country classic “Farewell Party.”

Considered one of the finest pure-country singers of his generation, Watson offers up one of the best traditional country shows in the business. His stunning voice captivates audiences and keeps his fans coming back again and again.

Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster outlets, the Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar. For more information, visit www.pennspeak.com.
