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.
