| Marshall Tucker Band Headlines Legends Harley-Davidson Street Party From Grammy nominated Southern rockers to custom motorcycles, from kids’ activities to live skunk racing, Legends Harley-Davidson’s second annual street party Saturday, September 17, in Ledgewood, NJ, is guaranteed to have something for everyone – including those with a taste for the unusual. The event, which is free to the public, kicks off at 12:00 noon at Legends Harley-Davidson at 1895 Route 46 West and culminates with a performance by the acclaimed Marshall Tucker Band who take the main stage at 5:00 p.m. Playing southern rock, blues, country and everything in between, the band first came to fame in the 70s with hits such as “Heard It In a Love Song, ” “Fire On The Mountain, ” and “Can’t You See.” During the 90s, the group scored four hit singles on Billboard’s country chart and one on Billboard’s gospel chart. Their music has been featured on the soundtracks of movies such as Smokey and the Bandit and The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper, and is featured on various Harley-Davidson Motorcycles “road music” CD collections. Other musical acts will be featured throughout the day, including regional favorites Washed-Up and The Flying Mueller Brothers which will both play multiple sets. Washed-Up, led by the legendary Mr. Junior Black, fuses delta blues and rock and delivers both classics and their own original music. Returning for the second appearance at the Legends street party, party favorites The Flying Mueller Brothers will perform high-energy “island-influenced” music that includes wild stage antics and audience participation. In between bands, unique performance artists will provide one-of-kind entertainment. They include pyrotechnic performer Flambeaux, the “Master of the Flames, ” who combines old-style circus sideshow fire-eating and fire breathing with rock-opera, a little voodoo and some Chippendales. He has appeared on MTV, HBO, PBS and in shows sponsored by P’Diddy, David LaChappelle and Hugo Boss. Combustible Kiva, also known as Grindergirl, will entertain the crowd with her unusual talents that include the unique application of power tools to her own body, snake charming and bullwhip tricks. She is a regular on “The Late Show” and has appeared on MTV, Nightline and CNN News. -more- Also not to be missed is Ula the Painproof Rubber Girl, who performs contortions on beds of nails and razor-sharp machetes, trapeze acts in stiletto heels, and more. She has performed everywhere from Lincoln Center to the New York City Hell’s Angels’ 30th Anniversary Party to the David Letterman Show. All music and performance art shows will be emceed by “the Blues Brothers” who will also provide their own unique brand of entertainment. In addition, young and old alike will thrill to the excitement of the Drag Racing Stinkers. Three races will be held throughout the day as live skunks race to “sweet success.” Other attractions for the whole family include Towasaurus Rex Monster Truck, fluorescent stilt walkers, giveaways, free carnival food and temporary tattoos.
