As if just being in Gillette, Wyoming attending the annual International Rally isn't entertaining enough for you, we have also scheduled some fine evening entertainment for Wednesday through Saturday nights under the "Big Top" tent. Wednesday evening will feature "Bavarian Idle" presenting some of your very favorite music. In fact it WILL BE your very favorite music. Here is your opportunity to program a 20 minute set of your favorite tunes on your iPod or mp3 player to share with all the other attendees. Your selections might resemble the smooth purring idle of a well tuned K bike, the slow loping idle of a vintage /2, or even the rough, disjointed, idle of an airhead in need of a good overhaul. Anything goes from rap to rock, reggae to religion. It's your show! First come first served. If there is enough interest we might even persuade Bavarian Idle to make some extra appearances on Thursday and Saturday nights as an opening act.
Recently, before his mother lost her long battle with cancer, she made Hoss' wife, Tinker, promise that she would continue to encourage Hoss to pursue music as a career. Tinker said that she would, but only if Hoss' mother helped from the "other side". Tinker fulfilled her promise by, among other things, sending some of Hoss' songs to a producer in Nashville. The producer loved it and soon Hoss was on his way to Nashville. Hard work and dedication resulted in the completion of Hoss' first CD "Country on Octane". Hoss would not be where he is without the love and support of Tinker, and help from the "other side".
In the summer of 1969, John Dawson was looking to showcase his songs while Jerry Garcia was looking to practice his brand new pedal steel guitar. The two played in coffeehouses and small clubs initially, and the music they made became the nucleus for a band-the New Riders of the Purple Sage. That same year, David Nelson, expert in both country and rock guitar, joined the group on electric lead guitar. One of the many gigs with the Dead included the Trans-Canadian Festival Express with Janis Joplin, The Band, and other American and Canadian artists like Ian and Sylvia, who had with them a brilliant, innovative pedal steel player named Buddy Cage. When Garcia's busy schedule made it increasingly difficult for him to play with the New Riders, the talented Cage was the perfect choice to fill the pedal steel spot.
Saturday night features the return of a group the Rally Chairs enjoyed so much at the Spokane Rally, they insisted we invite them back to Gillette this year...StageCoach West. They know how to have a good time! So get out there and dance! Welcome to Gillette, we're glad you all could make it!
