Monday, June 2, 2014

“She’s Gone,” the lead single from Nuge’s forthcoming album, SHUTUP&JAM! has gone to radio and will soon be hitting airwaves across America!

“She’s Gone” features the vocal power of Sammy Hagar for an epic lead vocal duet with Nuge along with a special performance from one of rock’s most respected drummers, Johnny “Bee” Badanjek from the legendary Detroit band, Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels.

Says Hagar, “When I first heard Ted’s demo of this song, I immediately responded with ‘I’m in.’ Ted’s ripping the guitar like the days of old…very inspiring to sing to a track like that—old-school blues riff, hard edged rock ‘n roll on fire!!!”

NUGE HONORS TROOPS & PRESENTS MORTGAGE-FREE HOME TO VET

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

Ted was the guest of honor at the Salute to Heroes Patriot Dinner in League City Texas. But Nuge stresses the real guests of honor were clearly the heroes of the US Military in attendance at the April 12 celebration.

The event recognized the efforts of Operation Finally Home, a national non-profit group that unites homebuilders, suppliers and supporters to provide custom-built, mortgage free homes for our troops. The organization has built, and is in the process of building, homes in 26 states for wounded veterans.

Nuge, who serves on the Advisory Board of OFH, delivered a moving musical and spoken presentation which was capped off by the announcement that Marine Corps Cpl John Dowdell will be the recipient of a new home. The house is being constructed in League City—free of charge. Dowdell, who was wounded in action while serving our country in Afghanistan, appeared both touched and humbled.

“This courageous warrior and his family have sacrificed greatly for freedom and The American Way, and we are extremely happy to bring this well-deserved upgrade to their quality of life,” Ted stated. “I look forward to some great hunting adventures with Jonathon so we can get some beautiful deer heads for his walls!”

Nugent, who has long-standing relationships with an extensive number of charities nationwide, was asked why he was willing to donate his time and energies to this particular effort. “The Nugent family remains increasingly humbled and honored to be invited into the lives of these amazing US Military families’ lives, and are constantly reminded that freedom is not free, and caring Americans are the most generous people on earth when it comes time to give back.” Nugent said. “Godbless the warriors.”

SHUTUP & JAM! TOUR AND CD

Thursday, March 27, 2014

NUG_MG_5694-largeThe Nuge prepares to take America by storm with his SHUTUP & JAM! Tour, kicking off July 3 in Wichita Falls! Ted again joins forces with Greg Smith on bass guitar, Wild Mick Brown on drums, and Derek St. Holmes on vocals and rhythm guitar.

With more than 40 million albums sold, and 5 decades of non-stop touring under his belt, Nugent consistently racks up rave reviews for his over-the-top live performances:

“You won’t find anyone with more intensity, more passion, or more in-you-face ferociousness than Ted Nugent and his band. If Ted’s in town, don’t miss the show!” –Steve Stuart, WFMS 95.5FM, Indianapolis

“If you’re looking for a veteran of the 70’s music scene who has somehow miraculously managed to remain vital and alive 40 years later, look no further than the controversial Motor City Madman.” –Michael Gallucci, clevescene.com

“The Nuge is one big ball of energy and guitar playing dynamite. Once he gets going on a song, he does not like to let off the gas!” –Ernie Osborn, Tulsa Today

“Ted Nugent represents everything that is great and right about America, about rock & roll and living life the right way. No compromise, no retreat!” –Jerry Coyne, WQON, 100.3FM, Grayling MI

Nuge is on tap to perform his 6,500th live show this summer. And with that milestone comes the release of his latest CD, also titled SHUTUP & JAM! available later this year on Frontiers Records.

Pulling from a discography that’s 37 albums deep, the SHUTUP & JAM! Tour showcases Nugent’s legendary skills on his arsenal of hits, mixed with killer new tunes from the forthcoming CD, and some sonic surprises along the way.

“Though we can all agree that music is the ultimate communication, killer rock-n-roll is also the ultimate soul cleansing distraction from everyday life,” states Nugent. “I predict the most fun tour of our lives. Politics be damned! SHUTUP & JAM! ”
