Runs and Rides: Wild Hog Music Festival and Motorcycle Rally
Posted byherseyc on Monday, March 15, 2004 @ 06:56:01 EST
Contributed by herseyc

On the Road On April 23rd – 25th, 2004 Helena, Arkansas will again hear the sounds of the rolling thunder for the 4th Annual Wild Hog Music Festival & Motorcycle Rally. This river town will host some of the top entertainment names that have ever come to Helena. Artists performing at this year’s event will include:


Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad, The songwriter. The guitarist. The unmistakable voice that powered Grand Funk Railroad to 12 platinum and 15 gold albums. A true rock 'n roll legend, Mark Farner found fame and success at 20 years of age as the leader of one of America's biggest bands, Grand Funk Railroad. The band recorded 17 albums with total sales of more than 25 million records, and toured the world, which isn't bad for a guy who only had three formal guitar lessons. His hit singles included "I'm Your Captain (Closer To Home)," "Foot-Stompin' Music," "Loco-motion," "Mean Mistreater," "Bad Time" and "Some Kind Of Wonderful," among others.

Classic Rock Allstars featuring the leads and forming members, Peter Rivera from Rare Earth Original lead singer and drummer of Rare Earth 1969-75, who recorded over seventeen albums, had top ten hits with "Get Ready", "I'm Losing You", "Born to Wander", "Hey Big Brother" and I Just Want to... "Celebrate". Albums "Get Ready" and the two-record set "Rare Earth in Concert" went double platinum. "One World" and "The Ecology Album" went single platinum, "Willie Remembers" and "Ma" gold. Rivera has been called the premier rock drummer/vocalist of the '70s. , Jerry Corbetta from Sugar Loaf former lead singer, keyboardist and founder of the melodically and lyrically oriented "Green-Eyed Lady" , "Heaven Above Me", "You're Lookin' Like Love To Me", Mike Pinera from Blues Image and Iron Butterfly, His first million-selling gold record was for "Ride Captain Ride" which he wrote and sang with his group Blues Image. In the late 1960's, Mike joined, Iron Butterfly. The Butterfly broke all Music Industry standards by staying at the top of the charts for over 56 weeks. His album "In A Gadda Da Vida", was the first album ever in music history to receive a Platinum Award. Dennis Noda from Cannibal & the Headhunters is a funky rockin’ bassist with a high visibility factor. His early musical career found him in Cannibal and the Headhunters who achieved international acclaim with the hit "Land of a Thousand Dances".

Janis Joplin’s band Big Brother & the Holding Company, Highlights of their early performances includes "Coo Coo", "That's How Strong My Love Is" and "Hall Of The Mountain King", "Down On Me", and "Summertime". Big Brother and the Holding Company was a prime example of a band where the chemistry was right, where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts. Their album Cheap Thrills topped the Billboard album chart on October 12, 1968, where it stayed for 8 weeks, eventually being vanquished from the number one position by Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland and the Beatles’ White Album. "Combination of the Two" starts the Cheap Thrills album off with a bang, then segues into "I Need a Man to Love", followed by "Summertime" and "Piece of My Heart" which are classic Janis standards.

Southern Rock Allstars featuring members Jakson Spires of Blackfoot, Jimmy Farrar of Molly Hatchet, Charles Hart of Cruize Control, Jay Johnson of The Rossington Band and Duane Roland of Molly Hatchet) SRA is an exceptional representation of what makes Southern Rock great! With a unique combination of talent they've carved out their own sound and blazed their own clear-cut path without leaving their roots behind!

Also performing this year will be, Nettie Parr & Nine Below, Curtis Moore Band, Bruce Page & the Blues Heavyweights, Live Wire Band and Powerline.

Of course it wouldn’t be a rally without bike activities. New to the rally this year will be the Wild hog Girls Contest where lovely girls will compete for cash prizes and the honor of becoming Ms Wild Hog, the Wild Hog Horsepower Shootout where bikers will be competing for the bragging rights and cash and the Tattoo Contest.

Back again this year as always Wild Hog Field Events (featuring Weenie Bite, Slow Race Balloon Toss, and Burn Out), the Poker Run through the Delta countryside, the annual Parade of Bikes though Helena and West Helena with the Wild Hog Bike Show closing the event on Sunday where a new 2004 Harley Davidson will be given away this year courtesy of the Isle of Capri.

Just added will be the “Arkansas Delta Passport Run” which will consist of three tours with 11 stops. You can take one or all of the three tours. If you complete 7 of the 11 stops you will receive a pin and your name will go into a drawing for a FREE weekend getaway vacation at any one of the Arkansas State Parks.
