Live Rock-n-Roll @ Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

Known in the motorcycle world for his legendary rally performances, it’s only natural that renowned rock icon, Edgar Winter, join Sturgis Rally goers at the best party anywhere!



Winter, who has been a household name for over four decades, has been busy revisiting his roots with a new album production titled Rebel Road which was co-produced by Curt Cuomo features talent from Johnny Winter, Clint Black, and Slash.



“The kind of music I’m playing on Rebel Road has meant so much to me over the years,” said Winter, “and it was great working with so many talented musicians on bringing it to life. I think it will resonate with fans familiar with my early music and younger lovers of classic rock. There’s something magical about the time this sound came from, when there was more musical freedom and songs reflected such powerful social changes as civil rights and the peace movement during the Vietnam era. There’s a deep sense of humanity in classic rock that still resonates today.”  Read More

Alice Cooper has been breaking down barriers and creating new forms of rock since the band’s inception. They got their first break playing at the Whiskey-a-GoGo in Los Angeles in 1969. Frank Zappa discovered them there and signed them to his record label.   Read More

George Thorogood’s theory is that among the successful in the arts, there are two categories: “genius: and “very clever.” He claims there’s no in-betweens. One is either a genius or very clever. “I’m going to throw out two names at you. John Lennon – genius, right? And Mick Jagger? Very clever. See what I’m saying? I’ll give you another example. Einstein – genius. And George Thorogood – very clever.” 


Buffalo Chip music fans may or may not agree, but he makes a great point. A lot of bikers might believe Thorogood is a genius. “OK, I’m a genius at being very clever,’’ he says. He draws another comparison: “Let’s put it this way. Dylan has a Rolls-Royce dealership. I have a used Chevy dealership… I’m in the business.” And, he says that’s all he ever wanted from his musical career.   Read More
