Here's what's being announced as the line-up for this summer's Tommy Bolin Music Festival at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, USA.
Friday 7/30/04:
Glenn Hughes 8:00 pm
Tesla 10:00 pm
Saturday 7/31/04:
TBA 3:30 pm
Billy Lee Janey 5:00 pm
(a Cedar Rapids, IA guitarist, Billy is said to be doing Tommy's Cobham & Mouzon type stuff)
The Lizards 6:30
Vanilla Fudge 8:15
Glenn Hughes 10:00
Glenn's band will include Ed Roth-keyboards, Gary Ferguson-drums & George Nastos-guitar. Vanilla Fudge features Carmine Appice, Tim Bogart, and Vinnie Martell, but unfortunately not Mark Stein. The Lizards feature Bobby Rondinelli of Rainbow, BÖC, & Sabbath fame along with singer John Garner from the early 70s protometal band Sir Lord Baltimore, and are said to be doing material by SLB, Blue Cheer, Vanilla Fudge, and Cactus.
Also recently announced (maybe to fill the earlier TBA slot on Sat 7/31 ?) is a group that will feature Johnnie Bolin (Tommy's brother who played drums with him in the Tommy Bolin Band, now with Black Oak Arkansas), Bobby Berge (Tommy's friend and fellow musician in Zephyr, Energy, and TBB, who also worked with Buddy Miles), and Stanley Sheldon (Tommy's friend and bassist who went on to larger fame with Peter Frampton) !! WOW !!
