Kid Rock
Oct 24, 2011
Atlantic/RRP/Bigger Picture artist Kid Rock is heading out on a different kind of tour in November, playing for several smaller venues, with the proceeds benefiting local charities in each city he visits.
The idea for his charity tour came from the fifth single, '"Care," off Rock's 2010 album, "Born Free." Rock will use his own charity, the Kid Rock Foundation, to support the tour. Radio stations in each city will help determine which charity will receive the funds.
"The song says 'the least that I can do is Care' - and I want to put my money where my mouth is. Everyone knows that Detroit is hurting. But I want to show that even though we don't have a lot on our own plate, it doesn't mean the people of my hometown don't have compassion to share with others all over the country. At the end of the day we're all Detroit, we're one country, one family," said Rock.
Ty Stone will join Kid on the tour as the opening act.
The full list of charity tour stops includes:
- Nov. 16th, Silver Spring, Md., Fillmore
- Nov. 19th, New York, N.Y., Beacon Theatre
- Nov. 20th, Buffalo, N.Y., Town Ballroom
