FROM: TODD BRODGINSKI/ANGELA VILLANUEVA/MITCH SCHNEIDER
TO SUPPORT KID ROCK
AT SOLD-OUT SHOWS AUGUST 13 AND 14 IN MICHIGAN
AND SPECIAL SEPTEMBER 11 EVENT “KID ROCK SALUTES THE TROOPS
PRESENTED BY JIM BEAM: PATRIOT DAY 2010”
Lead singer CHARLIE STARR expresses the band’s excitement about the upcoming shows. "We're all fired up about getting the opportunity to play with the pride of Detroit right in his own back yard. He's always been great to us and he is truly an ambassador of music! We hope his fans don't mind if we slide our dixie-fried thang right up in there."
The band–STARR, sibling rhythm section RICHARD and BRIT TURNER (bass and drums, respectively), guitarist PAUL JACKSON and keyboardist BRANDON STILL–will also take part in a special concert event on Saturday, September 11 in Columbia, S.C., “Kid Rock Salutes the Troops presented by Jim Beam: Patriot Day 2010.”
As part of their ongoing support of America’s service members, Jim Beam® Bourbon and Kid Rock will host this special event to honor our nation’s heroes. BLACKBERRY SMOKE has been asked to open the show which will be free for all service members who present a military ID. Tickets are available to the general public at Ticketmaster outlets or ticketmaster.com through a pre-sale on August 4 and to the public starting August 6.
The video for BLACKBERRY SMOKE’S loud-and-proud, slide guitar-infused single “Good One Comin’ On” topped CMT’s Pure Country Countdown for weeks and the single was recently added to all Cumulus Radio country stations. Little Piece of Dixie was also re-released with a very special bonus track: “Yesterday’s Wine,” a cover of Willie Nelson’s hit featuring George Jones, Jamey Johnson and BLACKBERRY SMOKE frontman Charlie Starr all trading vocals, and it’s a tour de force. This unique track is available free for download on the newly re-launched BLACKBERRY SMOKE website: http://www.blackberrysmoke.com/home/item/21-free-download-yesterdays-wine.html.
