Yelawolf Leads John Kay & Steppenwolf onto Buffalo Chip Stage

But are They His Wolfpack?

One of today’s heaviest-hitting motorcycle musicians meets up with the OG biker band when Yelawolf and John Kay & Steppenwolf share a stage at the Buffalo Chip. Although the bands may differ stylistically, the pairing brings together two acts with deep roots in biker culture. Country, rock and blues-inspired hip-hop star Yelawolf will open for classic rockers John Kay & Steppenwolf on the Sturgis Buffalo Chip’s Wolfman Jack Stage Friday, Aug. 10, 2018.

“We’ve got new school meeting old school at the Chip on Friday,” said Rod Woodruff, Sturgis Buffalo Chip President. “Yelawolf has amassed a cult following within the motorcycle community over the last 10 years, and John Kay & Steppenwolf were the originals that helped ‘Easyriders’ the movie jump start a cultural revolution. Bringing these two acts together provides the rare opportunity to see the past and the future of motorcycle music come together on the same stage for one epic party.”
Yelawolf has collaborated with and featured Kid Rock and blink-182’s Travis Barker on a pair of his latest singles. His independent attitude, unique style and strong motorcycle influence connects deeply with bikers. His music has been featured on “Sons of Anarchy,” and he rides and owns custom and antique motorcycles.
