It looks like she is being billed as a "friend" of Jeff Bridges, and the press release would lead you to believe that she will be performing with Jeff and his band. August 11, which is in between Red Rocks and Dallas. This is all kinds of bizarre! But in a good way!

It's a great fit!

Remember the Stevie Harley that was raffled off awhile back (... wow, a long while I guess!)? http://www.nicksfix.com/motorcycleraffle.htm

Leather and Lace and those chain maille gloves - I just knew Stevie was a biker chick! A Gothic, Celtic, Gypsy, Rocker (and a squeeze o' country,) Biker Chick. Whoot!

...wish I could go.

thanks for sharing the info - it put a smile on me face!

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...&type=1&ref=nf I took this picture about a week ago as we drove by the 'Chip' on our way to farm that we sold. The Buffalo Chip Campground is basically a cow pasture with a stage in the middle of it. Stevie must of liked it there when she was Tom Petty's guest performer a few years ago when Tom played the Chip. If anyone needs any help on places to go or where to eat ,maybe I could help out.

Stevie Nicks will appear at the first annual American Thunder Music Festival, joining John Fogerty and Jeff Bridges at the Aug. 11 show at the Legendary Buffalo Chip in Sturgis, SD.

The concert -- which plays during the 71st annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally -- will benefit the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which provides resources and support to service members, veterans and their families to help them reintegrate into their communities and thrive physically, psychologically, socially and economically, according to a press release.

"With so many service men and women returning from the battle field, it's critical that we honor their service by helping them return to their local communities," Woodruff said in a statement.

Nicks' new album, "In Your Dreams," includes a song she was inspired to write following her many visits to Walter Reed Hospital and Bethesda Medical Center. "Stevie Nicks' song 'Soldiers Angel' is the most beautiful song I've ever heard about wounded warriors and those who comfort them," said David Clark, founder of American Thunder, in a statement.

Funds from the concert will benefit the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which invests in programs that connect troops to the services they need, including physical rehabilitation and counseling, education, employment and financial assistance, as well as help with larger issues like homelessness and suicide.

The Legendary Buffalo Chip is a campground venue serving the motorcycle industry and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally since 1981 with camping, vending and entertainment.

All-Star Concert Will Benefit the Bob Woodruff Foundation, in Celebration of the Men and Women of the United States Military and Their Families
STURGIS, SD--(Marketwire - Jul 19, 2011) - The first annual American Thunder Music Festival has added Stevie Nicks to the lineup that already includes John Fogerty. The all-star concert is scheduled to take place on Thursday, August 11th, at the Legendary Buffalo Chip.

Nicks will be performing the song at the Festival and it is sure to be one of many highlights of this historic show.
"Stevie's support for the men and women who serve is almost as legendary as her voice," said Bridges. "Her songs and distinctive voice have become part of the very fabric of America."
"With so many service men and women returning from the battle field, it's critical that we honor their service by helping them return to their local communities," said Bob Woodruff, ABC News Anchor, and Co-Founder of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. "Because there are people like Jeff Bridges, John Fogerty and Stevie Nicks, who lend their distinctive voices to this cause, I have no doubt our fellow Americans will help us say 'thank you' to those who serve."
"Stevie Nicks' song 'Soldiers Angel' is the most beautiful song I've ever heard about wounded warriors and those who comfort them," said David Clark, founder of American Thunder. "We're all honored to have her participate."
Funds raised at American Thunder will benefit the Bob Woodruff Foundation that invests in programs that connect troops to the services they need, including physical rehabilitation and counseling, education, employment and financial assistance, as well as help with larger issues like homelessness and suicide.
