More headliners announced for Rock'n the Rally concerts

Today Rock’n the Rally organizers announced the final headliners for its three-day concert series at the 68th Sturgis motorcycle rally.

Currently on his “Revival” tour, rock legend John Fogerty will take the Glencoe Amphitheater stage on Tues., Aug. 5th for a night of authentic American roots rock. That same night America’s favorite every man, Larry The Cable Guy, will perform his blue-collar comedy for which he’s known. Fogerty and Larry The Cable Guy join Rock’n the Rally’s diverse lineup of heavy-hitters including Kenny Chesney and KISS.

Recognized as one of the biggest and best bike rallies in the world, Sturgis Bike Week will celebrate its 68th year this August 4-10, 2008.

As the writer of such rock classics as “Proud Mary,” “Centerfield,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Rockin’ All Over the World,” “Born on the Bayou” and “Fortunate Son,” Fogerty has established a reputation for his ability to write iconic songs and in 2005 was inducted into the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame.

In 2007 Fogerty released the deeply personal “Revival,” which was nominated for a Grammy Award in the 2008 Rock Album category.

Rolling Stone writes, “...Fogerty’s documentary roots rock was always rebel music, a counterculture of factory-floor politics via Hank Williams and Dale Hawkins. ‘Revival’ is no rerun. It is Fogerty getting back to work.”

“John Fogerty is an amazing addition to the Rock’n the Rally lineup,” said Rock’n the Rally organizer and Rozone Productions CEO, David Rosen. “His music evokes an authenticity and rebellious American spirit that will resonate with Sturgis fans.”

Larry The Cable Guy will perform his “just-telling-it-like-it-is” unapologetic, politically incorrect comedy act. Larry is a platinum-selling recording artist and Grammy nominee. He most recently starred in Witless Protection and prior to Witless Protection, Larry starred in the films Delta Farce and Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector. He was also the voice of Mater in the Golden Globe-winning animated, feature film Cars from Disney/Pixar. In addition he was part of the highly successful concert Blue Collar Comedy Tour. The tour’s success led to three Blue Collar Comedy Tour movies and a television show. Currently, Larry is preparing to film his second Christmas Special, which will air on CMT this November.

Said Dave Rosen, “Adding comedy to the Rock’n the Rally lineup is a bit of a departure for what’s been a historically pure music experience, but Larry The Cable Guy isn’t just any comedian. Behind the thick accent and blue collar exterior is spot-on, hilarious commentary about everyday life that most can relate to.”

The Mission Mountain Wood Band will open the night with their blue-grass and rock sounds that have made them legendary in the western states and the upper Midwest.

Tickets to Rock’n the Rally’s Kenny Chesney, John Fogerty, Larry The Cable Guy and KISS shows at Bike Week in Sturgis, S.D. are available at Star Tickets or by calling 1-800-345-9213.
