2015 SoCalMusicToday.com Coverage of Lost Highway Festival
The second annual Lost Highway Motorcycle Show & Concert– a motorcycle, music, and camping destination festival– will be held on Saturday, July 23rd at San Manuel Amphitheater & Festival Grounds in San Bernardino, CA, beneath the picturesque San Bernardino Mountains. The Southern California festival has just announced the additions of Foghat and Tyler Farr to the stellar lineup of musical acts as well as Roland Sands Design Super Hooligan flat track motorcycle racing presented by Indian Motorcycle. Brett Young, Bullets & Octane and Hall Pass are also joining with live performances on Friday night at the official kick-off party in the K-FROG Lost Highway Campgrounds. Tickets and weekend camping packages for Lost Highway are available now at www.LostHighwayFest.com
London’s blues-rock act Foghat formed in 1971 and has earned eight Gold records, one Platinum record and one Double-Platinum record. The band continues to tour and record, with their new album Under The Influence set for release on June 24th. One of their most popular singles “Slow Ride” was named the 45th “Best Hard Rock” song of all time by VH1 in 2009. Country singer Tyler Farr’s album Redneck Crazy debuted at #2 on the Billboard Country Albums chart as well in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums charts. The record also yielded a pair of #1 hits in the title track and “Whisky In My Water.”
Roland Sands Design’s and Indian Motorcycle’s recent Hooligan racing efforts are a throwback to ‘30s era racing, when you raced – and could ride home on – any bike you owned. With its roots in Southern California motorcycle culture, today’s flat track Hooligan racing category is rapidly gaining in popularity with riders of all ages and experience levels across the nation by offering the fun of motorcycle competition in a less structured environment, as this class lets racers ride their street-legal motorcycles. RSD’s Super Hooligan flat track motorcycle race presented by Indian Motorcycle will put on a rowdy show of aggressive street bike racing at Lost Highway with an eclectic mix of riders on different bikes, all for the fans!
