Headlining this year’s Summer Jam is Bachman & Turner. After reuniting for the first time in more than 20 years, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner – musicians at the heart of legendary band Bachman-Turner Overdrive – continue to thrill fans around their world with their power-driven tunes. The duo released a self-titled album in 2010 featuring all original new tracks penned by the pair, including “Rollin’ Along,” “Slave to the Rhythm” and “Moonlight Rider.” Their new material has a sound that fits seemlessly alongside Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s monster anthems “Takin’ Care of Business” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet.” For news and tour dates, visit www.BachmanAndTurner.com.
The Summer Jam talent does not end there. Other artists slated to perform throughout the day include Gary Clark Jr. (www.garyclarkjr.com), Johnny A. with Dixie Peach (www.johnnya.com), The Kicks (http://thekicksrock.com), 3 Pill Morning (www.3pillmorning.com), A Friend Called Fire (http://afriendcalledfire.net), and a special appearance by The Dudes, a dynamic act comprised of gold-selling artist Keith Anderson and some of Nashville’s most respected players including Eddie Perez, Chad Warrix, Keio Stroud, and Robby Wilson.
