Call him the original gonzo rocker or call him the Motor City Madman. Just don’t call him late for the hunt. Archer, hunter, always outspoken – Ted Nugent is in a class by himself, one of those rare musicians who has marched to his own drummer for well over 30-some years. The Nuge hits the road this summer playing casinos, fairs, amphitetheatres, and other venues tough enough to withstand his sonic assault. Dates include July 4 in Clarkston, MI, at the DTE Energy Music Theatre; July 19 in Miami, OK, at the Buffalo Run Casino; July 30 in Davenport, IA, at the Mississippi Valley Fair and September 26 & 27 in Reno, NV, at the Silver Legacy Resort Casino.
