STURGIS, S.D., June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Rock'n the Rally organizers
announced the final headliners for its three-day concert series at Sturgis
Bike Week. 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.
John Fogerty's contribution to popular culture cannot be overstated; his
songs have become part of rock's DNA, the very building blocks upon which much
of American rock and roll has been built. 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.
