ALBUM SHOOTS TOWARDS PLATINUM AND FIRST LEG SELLS OUT
VERY SPECIAL GUEST SHERYL CROW TO APPEAR ON ALL SHOWS AS
THEIR NEW DUET “COLLIDE” IMPACTS AT RADIO AND VIDEO.
Detroit, MI – Kid Rock announces today second leg of his “BORN FREE” tour
that comes in support of his most recent release, “BORN FREE.” The second
leg of the tour, featuring Sheryl Crow, will kick off July 2nd in Cincinnati and cross
the country hitting amphitheaters over the span of 30 shows. More dates are
expected to be announced as well. The dates come on the heels of Kid Rock’s
new single “Collide”, which features Sheryl Crow, impacting radio and video
outlets. The companion video immediately hit the Top 20 countdown on both
VH1 and CMT.
The second leg of this tour follows the hugely successful launch of Kid Rock’s
album “Born Free” and the first set of SRO arena dates that featured special
guest Jamey Johnson. The tour was launched at a huge celebration of Kid
Rock’s 40th Birthday, which took place at Ford Field in Detroit featuring a 3 hour
show by Kid Rock for 60,000 of his closest friends. “Born Free” has been selling
at a quick clip since it’s release, having been featured across multiple radio
formats, video channels, and promotions include a highly successful partnership
with TBS during the Major League Baseball Playoffs. Kid Rock recently
performed on the “All Together Now” special, featuring all four living US
Presidents, which aired on NBC on March 28th and on the most recent
installment of the Kennedy Center Honors.
As usual, Kid Rock will be backed by his own excellent Twisted Brown Trucker
Band, his constant companions for many years on the road. The tour also
features a close friend and very special guest Sheryl Crow. Free-spirited,
fearless and fierce, Sheryl Crow has garnered nine Grammys, performed duets
with musical luminaries such as Sting and Mick Jagger, released seven studio
albums which sold more than 35 million records worldwide, saw the launch of her
very own clothing line Bootheel Trading Co., is a cancer survivor and passionate
humanitarian and has performed for President Obama. From humble beginnings
as a jingle and back-up singer, Crow has reached the pinnacle of professional
solo success.
Kid Rock’s previous album “Rock ‘N Roll Jesus,” released in 2007, debuted at #1
and stayed in the charts for 100 weeks, becoming the biggest selling Rock album
of 2008. His hit single “All Summer Long” hit #1 in 8 countries and provided Kid
Rock the opportunity to expand his huge touring base outside of America. Kid
Rock has a unique ability to genre-hop, marking his territory everywhere. He

CMA’s to the Hip Hop Honors. He has performed for and visited troops overseas
