Summer Motion is takin' care of business. The business of bringing great music to Ashland for summer 2012 that is. This year we've booked two giants of classic rock, Randy Bachman (of The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive) and Fred Turner (of Bachman Turner Overdrive). They've reunited to create a new rock powerhouse, Bachman & Turner.
If you ever need proof that hard work and dedication pay off, just take a look at the Eli Young Band. Just four guys who met in college, they've built their musical by touring. They started playing 11 years ago to small clubs in Texas, honing their music and moving to larger venues as their audiences grew. Now you'll find they're everywhere, appearing on the Tonight Show with Jay leno or opening for Alan Jackson or Dave Mathews.
On July 4, 2012 Summer Motion is celebrating red, white and the blues. Blues provided by critically acclaimed guitarist Jonny Lang. Lang's profession music career began in 1994, when he was just 14 with the release of the album Smokin'. Seventeen years and seven albums later, he's only gotten better. He's toured with some of the biggest blues and rock acts around, including Buddy Guy, Aerosmith and Sting.
