Three-day Concert Series Includes Headliners Kenny Chesney and KISS
STURGIS, S.D., June 24 -- 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.

Gospel Stars Daughter Laid To Rest
LATEST: Christian rocker STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN and his family have paid tribute to their daughter MARIA SUE, after laying her to rest at a funeral on Saturday (24May08).
The five-year-old - the youngest of three daughters adopted from China by the Grammy-winning singer and his wife - was accidentally struck by a car driven by her teenage brother as he reversed out of the driveway of the family's home in Franklin, Tennessee on Wednesday (21May08).
In a two-hour service at Nashville's Christ Presbyterian Church, 700 mourners listened as her mother Mary Beth remembered her "cuddle bug" for her love of snuggling, drawing flowers and playing in water, reports website People.com.
Standing in front of a small white coffin adorned with pink flowers, the Chapmans held their two other adopted daughters, Shaohannah, eight, and Stevey Joy, five, and embraced their sobbing 17-year-old son, who was devastated at his actions. The teenager draped Maria's pink security blanket around his neck throughout the memorial.
However, the emotional singer admits he can at least take some solace from his faith, saying: "We had talked (with Maria) about what it meant to be with Jesus. I had no idea how soon it was going to be, but we know she is in His amazing house, playing in the water."
