Kid Rock and Angaleena Presley Care

Posted on by

New Video for Care from Kid Rock and Angaleena Presley Kid Rock released the video for his current single, “Care” on Wednesday, November 23rd. Thanksgiving week is definitely an appropriate debut window for the social awareness-themed video which advocates social change at the individual level with a simple thought: just care about others. It’s a touching, relevant and interesting video which will no doubt appeal to both Kid Rock fans and those who maybe wouldn’t normally give his music a listen. The single comes off of Kid Rock’s current album, Born Free, and the album track actually features Martina McBride. However, the video features Angaleena Presley of Pistol Annies, and she makes a good addition, for sure! As is a current trend in country music (especially those artists and songs that lean a little rock-ish), the track also gets a rap influence in the contributions of rapper T.I. The single and its video are attached to a 12 date charity tour Kid Rock is engaged in now. With the help of business executives from his hometown of Detroit, Rock has managed to raise over 375,000 on the Care tour which will be given to local charities. The tour began November 11th, and will conclude in Boise, Idaho on December 4th. Check Out Kid Rock’s Video for “Care” Featuring Angaleena Presley and T.I.

Tootsie’s Birthday Bash To Have Kid Rock, The McClymonts, The Roys, The Kentucky Headhunters And More! Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge in Nashville, Tennessee is having a party! Music City’s legendary honky-tonk will be celebrating their 51st Birthday on November 23, 2011! This fiesta will be happening right in the heart of downtown Nashville, partly on the famous Broadway Street. The Kentucky Headhunters, The Roys, The McClymonts and other bands that will soon be announced will be hitting the outdoor stage at 12:00 pm, just before the Kid Rock concert at the Ryman Auditorium. “Last year having Kris Kristofferson, Terri Clark, Randy Houser, and Mel Tillis was the beginning of what has become an annual event – The Tootsie’s Birthday Bash! Knowing how Kid Rock has agreed to partner with Tootsie’s and co-brand his Ryman show as part of our Birthday Bash is just proof of what we are creating here.” -Steve Smith, Tootsie’s owner Entertainment will be on both stages of Tootsie’s, the roof-top of Rippy’s and a stage in the street on Broadway. After the Kid Rock show, Tootsie’s will continue to celebrate into the night! “Every time I end up at Tootsie’s its a good night, and I don’t expect this night to be any different. It’s cool to be celebrating their birthday party with them; I like parties and seem to excel in that type of atmosphere.” -Kid Rock This is sure to be a crazy fun time and I highly suggest if you are in or around the area, get yourself to Broadway on November 23! Now that is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so mark your calendars! Unfortunately for fans tickets to the Kid Rock show at the Ryman are sold out, but no need to panic, the party is not!

Kid Rock Hosts 2011 CMT Music Awards

Posted on by

Kid Rock Announced as Host for 2011 CMT Music Awards. Kid Rock will be reprising his role of host for the 2011 CMT Music Awards. Apparently, CMT thinks they’ve got a sure thing going on as Kid Rock was last year’s host as well. Word on the street has it that Kid Rock had a pretty good time himself, and will be enjoying his second turn on the CMT stage. “Hosting the CMT awards was a wonderful bridge to a great after party. I’m looking forward to crossing that bridge again this year.” -Kid Rock While he may be excited about hosting the show, fan reactions have been mixed with some truly excited, and others ready to make alternative plans for the evening. I guess we will see how the fan turn-out pans out, and whether or not the country superstar line-up for the evening, including performances by Jason Aldean, Sugarland, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, Kieth Urban and more, will be enough to overshadow some fans’ distaste for Kid Rock! In addition to his hosting duties, Kid Rock has also been nominated in the collaborative video of the year category for his single “Collide” with Sheryl Crow. Tickets to the 2011 CMT Music Awards go on sale this Saturday, May 21st. The show will air live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on CMT and cmt.com on Wednesday, June 8th.

Kid Rock and Jim Beam Bourbon join together to show support for our troops on Sept 11th. In support of America’s service members, Kid Rock and Jim Beam Bourbon are hosting a special concert on Patriot Day (Sept 11) to honor the deserving heroes of our nation. The special concert event, called “Kid Rock Salutes the Troops presented by Jim Beam: Patriot Day 2010,” will feature opening act Blackberry Smoke and will be free to all service members and their families who present their valid government issued military identification card. “Kid Rock is an American music staple, and Jim Beam is ‘America’s Native Spirit,’ so it’s only fitting that the two of us are continuing to stand by our nation’s heroes,” said Kevin George, global chief marketing officer, Beam Global Spirits & Wine. “The Patriot Day concert in Columbia is just one way for Jim Beam to honor our service members, and we look forward to toasting the men and women in our armed services with an unforgettable performance by Kid Rock.” The Patriot Day concert is one of a series of initiatives that the musician and the world’s No. 1 Bourbon have activated in support of America’s troops. These efforts include: • This year, the rock star teamed up with Operation Homefront® and Jim Beam to distribute exclusive music and encourage consumers to donate to Operation Homefront on special edition gift cartons of Jim Beam and Red Stag by Jim Beam™. • Kid Rock is slated to host a deserving service member at an upcoming concert as part of the Jim Beam and Operation Homefront “Salute Soldiers with the Spirit of America” program. • Last year, Kid Rock donated 50 cents from every ticket sold at select shows of his “Rock ‘N Rebels” concert tour hosted by Jim Beam to Operation Homefront, provider of emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors.
