More About the Artists
August 7 - JOHN FOGERTY
John Fogerty achieved fame as the lead singer/songwriter and guitarist in Creedence Clearwater Revival and has since gone on to a chart-topping solo career. The Grammy winner has written some of the most iconic, authentic tunes in America’s songbook; from “Proud Mary” to “Bad Moon Rising,” “Travelin’ Band,” to “Centerfield,” “Rockin’ All Over the World,” to “Born on the Bayou,” and “Fortunate Son” to “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” just to name a few. With a healthy new perspective on his past, Fogerty’s renewed musical spirit has soared on the critically acclaimed 2007 release Revival (Fantasy Records) which resonates deeply with generations of music fans. Entertainment Weekly said "his soul-scarred voice and knack for killer licks remain as potent as ever," while Rolling Stone declared Fogerty is “playing with more passion and joy that he has in decades.”

August 19 - BOB DYLAN
Bob Dylan is one of the world's most popular and acclaimed songwriters, musicians and performers, having sold more than 90 million albums and performed literally thousands of shows around the world in a career spanning five decades. His recent studio albums, Modern Times (2006), Love & Theft (2001) Time Out Of Mind (1997) are among his most commercially successful and critically lauded and his memoirs, Dylan's Chronicles – Volume I was a New York Times bestseller. Current projects include the Bob Dylan-hosted Theme Time Radio Hour on XM Radio; the long-awaited release of Live At Newport 1963-1965 on DVD and the film and soundtrack, I'm Not There. Bob Dylan remains one of the world's top touring artists, performing more than 100 concerts yearly around the globe. Recent performances with his band have garnered rave reviews and played to capacity crowds.

August 20 - KID ROCK
Kid Rock has sold more than 22 million albums with his mix of Southern rock, blues- and country-tinged ballads, and hip-hop. The “Rock and Revival Tour” will feature a guest appearance by Run D.M.C.'s Rev. Run and supports Rock’s latest CD, Rock N Roll Jesus, which topped The Billboard 200 and has spawned mainstream and modern-rock hits "So Hott," "Amen" and "All Summer Long." He is also known for his devotion to our men in uniform having participated in several USO performances including a 2007 Christmas visit to Iraq with Robin Williams, Lance Armstrong, Lewis Black and Miss USA Rachel Smith. In a recent concert review, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Kid Rock delivered a “high energy and exuberant performance” with “a diversified sound that incorporated classic rock and outlaw country.”

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, whose 'Raising Sand' album has emerged as one of the past year's major critical and word-of-mouth sales success stories, will begin an extensive U.S. tour this spring. Plant and Krauss – along with 'Raising Sand' producer and band leader T Bone Burnett – are creating a show that will feature songs from their collaborative release, as well as from the artists’ extensive career discographies. Band members for the tour include Jay Bellerose (drums) and Dennis Crouch (bass) – both of whom played on 'Raising Sand' – as well as Buddy Miller (guitar) and Stuart Duncan (fiddle, mandolin and other instruments). Burnett will play guitar and 6-string bass, as well as perform several songs.

Raising Sand debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart following its October 23 release on Rounder Records, was certified RIAA Gold soon after and is fast approaching platinum status. "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)," the first single scored a Grammy win for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. Raising Sand has garnered across the board praise, nods in numerous best of the year lists, and raves in outlets such as NPR, Time, Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, The New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times. The artists (with producer T Bone Burnett) have also appeared on the Today Show, the Charlie Rose Show and a CMT special, "Crossroads: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss."
