Anyone who knows me knows how much it excited me to see Kid Rock on the front page of the Press Register this morning! (Connie called me with the good news at 6:40 am. I hear Carol was awakened before 6 am with the news from her loving husband.) He will be performing on Saturday, October 4th in Mobile at Bayfest! As this will be My 4th time to see him in 2008, I can assure you he is a superb performer. Several faculty, residents and staff plan to be there. The only downside is that Kid will not be finished performing before Buckcherry goes on stage the same night at 10:45. Other acts announced for Bayfest include: Eric Church, Blake Shelton, Rodney Atkins, MAZE, The Stylistics, The Whispers, The O’Jays, Saving Abel, Puddle of Mudd, and Avenged Sevenfold. Considering that the titles of several songs performed by a couple of these artist had to be edited to be on radio and knowing Kid Rock music, how the Bayfest organizers expect to keep their family friendly rules is anybody’s guess. I’ll post the other entertainers as they are announced early September.
Also coming up musically around the area, at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Biloxi, Chaka Khan, August 29th and Gretchen Wilson, September 19th (yes, I’ve seen Gretchen 3 times and she’s wonderful too).
Please let me know if you can think of anything you would like discussed or added here. Bottoms up for anyone attending the International Beer Festival tomorrow. Don’t get too wet.
