Kevin and DTE crew members got the trailer unloaded first thing.
Shortly after a (wonderfully) catered breakfast, Kid Rock’s tour manager, Shakes, pulled up in this wilder-than-wild Pontiac Bonneville. I snapped a photo of Brit standing next to this crazy thing.
The car, built for Hank Jr.’s 15th birthday, was crafted by renowned tailor-to-the-stars Nudie Cohn. Can you imagine a 15-year old cruising the strip in this thing?!rn.
The dash, steering wheel, door panels, and child seat were adorned with dollar-coins. The saddle in the center-seat position was a child seat. This car was made pre-seatbelt/child-safety laws for sure.
Guns are all over this car. The door-handles, latch for the glovebox, trunk, hood, rear quarter panels, shifter, horn button… all laced with pistols.
The backstage passes were hysterical. KENNY. POWERS.
Charlie enjoying a smoke while talking to Kevin.
Guitars perched for action.
The band hit the stage for sound-check.
Sound master, Billy Kirk, surveying the acoustics.
After sound-check, Charlie and Brit had an interview with WYCD.
Shortly thereafter, it was showtime. Big Daddy Kev hyped the crown and brought them onstage.
The fellas played a great set.
More on the way from Detroit! Don’t wander too far…
