Since 1976, they’ve sold over 15 million albums, built a catalog of classic hits, and played more than 8,000 ferocious live shows. They broke records with their 50 Dates/50 States Tour, delivered landmark performances at Live Aid and on SNL, and became mainstays of radio, MTV and stages worldwide for more than two generations. Through it all, they’ve remained one of the most consistent – and consistently passionate – progenitors of blues-based rock in pop culture history.

For the past 45 years, it’s been very good to be George Thorogood & The Destroyers. And in 2022, their Good to Be Bad Tour: 45 Years of Rock will prove why like never before.

“If you’re content, you may as well be dead.” George says. “I think everyone has thoughts about retiring, but the phone keeps ringing. You want me and The Destroyers to come to your town, set up our gear, wear some cool threads and play ‘Who Do You Love?’ End of conversation. Let’s rock!”

For Thorogood and his longtime band – Jeff Simon (drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) – the power to rock audiences has been both battle cry and creed since the beginning. “It wasn’t about the amount of people we drew, but rather the impression we made,” George explains. “I asked myself, ‘Are we reaching them? Do they want more?’ And we knew from the very first set that we had something special.”

It’s on stage that George & The Destroyers flip the switch nightly, delivering what The Toledo Blade calls “a gut-bustin’, guitar-wailin’, face-meltin’, fiery-tempoed, take-no-prisoners, good old-fashioned lunch-bucket rock & roll show” that includes their signature hits “Get A Haircut”, “I Drink Alone”, “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”, “Move It On Over”, “Who Do You Love” and the definitive badass anthem “Bad To The Bone”, along with several surprises. “It’s been a constant evolution to make the show all killer, no filler,” explains 43-year Destroyer bassist Bill Blough. “Something still inherently clicks the second we step on stage. We feel the audience’s energy and the show just explodes.”

But after 45 years of rock – and no signs of stopping – can Thorogood point to what continues to make it all matter? “My highlight is every night when I walk on that stage and play our hits for those happy people,” he says. “At the end of the show, the audience is smiling, I don’t see any police and everyone got their money’s worth.”

More importantly, is it still good to be bad? George Thorogood instantly flashes that huge grin. “You bet it is,” he says. ”We’ll always be the baddest band in the land. Expect our best on this tour, because that’s what you’re gonna get.”

Lita Ford’s career began in 1975 as a founding member and guitarist of the groundbreaking all-female group The Runaways. The group’s hard rock / punk edge spawned hits like “Cherry Bomb” and “Queens of Noise.” Lita and the Runaways proved their timelessness in 2014 when “Cherry Bomb” was featured in the critically acclaimed Marvel / Disney Studios hit movie Guardians of the Galaxy and was nominated for a Grammy Award.

In 1983, Lita launched her carrier as a solo artist with her debut album Out for Blood establishing her as the premier female performer in rock and Heavy Metal. Lita quickly followed up in 1984 with the release of “Dancin’ on the Edge” which earned her a Grammy nomination in the Best Female Rock Vocal Performance category.

The album produced the world charting single “Fire in My Heart” and the U.S. Billboard top 50 charting hit “Gotta Let Go.” The song, along with the video being in MTV’s top rotation, began to make Ford a household name and face. 2018 celebrated the 30th anniversary of the self-titled multi-platinum Lita album. The Lita album solidified Ford as one of the most influential female performers in the music industry and earning her the title “Queen of Metal.” Ford released three more studio albums following Lita: Stiletto, Dangerous Curves and Black. These albums produced the radio and video hits “Hungry,” “Playin’ with Fire” and “Shot of Poison” again nominating her for a Grammy. In 1995, Lita Ford took a sabbatical from the industry. But in 2008 Ford answered the calling of her fans and after thirteen years triumphantly returned to the stage.

Alongside her live performances Lita followed up with two new studio albums, Living Like a Runaway and Time Capsule. With Ford’s long-awaited return to the scene, also came the long-awaited opportunity by the industry to finally recognize Lita Ford for forever changing the role of women in music. 2014 saw two of these accolades. At the 50th anniversary of the world-famous Whiskey A Go Go, Ford was presented with the Guitar Player Lifetime Achievement Award. In the same year, Guitar Player Magazine awarded her the prestigious Guitar Player Certified Legend Award and inducted her into the Guitar Player Hall of Fame.

Besides her renown musical career Lita has also appeared in numerous movie, television, and media roles. In 2016, Ford released her autobiography Living Like a Runaway: A Memoir. Since the start of 2018, Lita has filmed 24 plus episodes of AXS TV’s hit series Top 10 Revealed, NatGeo TV’s Decades Remixed and a top BBC series focusing on iconic musicians playing styles and their gear. Along with appearances in both the Suzi Quatro and Girls School documentaries. Lita also contributed to two upcoming major release books The History of Hard Rock by Tom Beaujour and No Encore by Drew Fortune. The year finished with Lita being bestowed the Hollywood FAME Producers Choice “Icon” Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2019 “Legend” Inductee Nomination into the Hall of Heavy Metal History, and a life-sized digital portrait of her ionic one-of-a-kind double neck guitar on exhibit at London’s Saatchi Gallery presented by “The Art of Capture” photographer Kane Hibberd. On July 26, 2021, Lita presented The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with her iconic Morice IIB.C. Rich Warlock guitar. Ford and her band continue to tour and headline major events throughout the United States and worldwide

For The Outlaws, it’s always been about the music. For more than 40 years, the Southern Rock legends celebrated triumphs and endured tragedies to remain one of the most influential and best-loved bands of the genre. Today, The Outlaws have returned with new music, new focus and an uncompromising new mission -- It’s about a band of brothers bound together by history, harmony and the road. It’s about a group that respects its own legacy while refusing to be defined by its past. But most of all, it’s about pride. It’s About Pride was also the title of the band’s acclaimed 2012 album, universally hailed as their victorious comeback. Formed in Tampa in 1972, The Outlaws – known for their triple-guitar rock attack and three-part country harmonies – became one of the first acts signed by Clive Davis (at the urging of Ronnie Van Zant) to his then-fledgling Arista Records. The band’s first three albums The Outlaws, Lady In Waiting and Hurry Sundown – featuring such rock radio favorites as ‘There Goes Another Love Song’, ‘Green Grass & High Tides’, ‘Knoxville Girl’ and ‘Freeborn Man’ – would become worldwide gold and platinum landmarks of the Southern Rock era. Known as ‘The Florida Guitar Army’ by their fans, The Outlaws earned a formidable reputation as an incendiary live act touring with friends The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band and The Charlie Daniels Band as well as The Doobie Brothers, The Who, Eagles and The Rolling Stones. Henry Paul left after the group’s third album to form The Henry Paul Band for Atlantic Records, and later co-founded the multi-Platinum country trio Blackhawk. Over the next 20+ years, The Outlaws would experience rampant personnel changes, tonal missteps, ill-fated reunions, and bitter trademark battles that left fans, not to mention Paul, frustrated and saddened. And with the tragic deaths of co-founding members Frank O’Keefe and Billy Jones in 1995 and songwriter/vocalist/lead guitarist Hughie Thomasson in 2007, it was feared that The Outlaws’ trail had come to an end. When Henry Paul took leadership of the band in 2008, he firmly put The Outlaws back on a path both trusted and celebrated by longtime fans. Along with founding member Paul, the band features several of Southern Rock’s most respected players: Keyboardist/vocalist Dave Robbins is a co-founding member of Blackhawk and has written hits for artists that include Restless Heart, Kenny Rogers and Eric Clapton. Longtime bassist/vocalist Randy Threet has performed with Trisha Yearwood, Pam Tillis and Blackhawk, and is familiar to audiences from USA Network’s Nashville Star. Lead guitarist Jimmy Dormire has played to millions with Confederate Railroad, Colonel Bruce Hampton, and The Luke Wheeler Band on the TV series Nashville. Drummer Michael Grando – who replaces the band’s retired/beloved co-founder Monte Yoho – has powered the beat for artists that include Joe Diffie, Jason Aldean and Chris Knight. And vocalist/co-guitarist Jeff Aulich brings new fire to the band’s harmony arrangements and six-string pyrotechnics. The Outlaws have not only re-emerged as what fans now call ‘Southern Rock’s Last Band Standing’, but as a dedicated band of brothers who still write, play and perform with the skill, grit and fire of acts a fraction of their age. “I want the fans to see the band’s growth and recognize the quality of the music,” Henry says. “We’re focused on where we come from, where we’re headed and how much fun we’re still having on the ride.” As live performers, the band burns hotter than ever. The band’s concerts – vividly captured in their 2016 double album Legacy Live – are blazing 2+ hour tributes to the band’s rich history and fiery rebirth. Classic tracks and fan favorites from the first three albums – as well as The Henry Paul Band’s definitive ‘Grey Ghost’ – share the spotlight with songs from It’s About Pride and 2020’s acclaimed Dixie Highway that have been enthusiastically embraced by audiences. For Henry, Dave, Randy, Jimmy, Michael, and Jeff, it’s also about a band of brothers who love playing their own brand of rock, and who 40+ years ago first got the chance to share it with the world. For The Outlaws, it’s still about the music. And now more than ever, it’s about pride.

In a rare meeting backstage at Cincinnati's Music Hall, music legend Prince asked Southbound 75 singer-songwriter, Mark Lorenzo, "Do you believe the cream will rise to the top?..." After responding that he did, Prince continued, "...Then you have nothing to worry about." It's pretty rare when more people dance to the originals than the cover songs... But that is pretty typical at a Southbound 75 show. The band has traveled throughout the country including the heart of country music - Nashville, Tennessee, playing the The Ryman Concert Series, Wildhorse Saloon, NBC's" Today in Nashville" and the famous "Whiskey Jam." The Southbound guys have been on quite a roll by playing a ton of high-profile shows including; WQYK'S Guitar Pull, The New Country 103.1 Rib Round-Up, The Field Of Dreams Country Festival and have just been booked to play the High Seas Rally Cruise. They have shared show billings with artists such as Bailey Zimmerman, Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis, Jimmy Allen, Chase Matthews and a ton more. Southbound 75 is receiving airplay in the U.S. with their latest single, "That Summer" on the syndicated show, "New Country Brew'" and overseas on the X Sussex Country Show and multiple other stations. The song is in the top 20 on the UK Charts. Currently, they are in the studio with producer, Jimmy Ritchie (Jake Owen, Pam Tillis), working on their next release. Their latest full-length release,"Tales From The Black Swamp," (The Orchard) was described as, "One of the year's standout albums." By Country Music International. Three videos from the album premiered on The Country Network and, "Spilled Champagne" and "Missing Carolina" were both added to CMT.com. The record's first single "Spilled Champagne" was featured on CMT's "The Roundup" playlist on Spotify that includes the week's biggest releases like Old Dominion, Carrie Underwood & Hardy. It has already received airplay on 50 US Music Row/Indicator/Non- Reporter Stations. The band is endorsed by Taylor Guitars, Gone Country Hats, Red Monkey Accessories & InTune Guitar Picks. The band is currently planning a U.S. Tour in 2024 with Reviver Records artist, Bowman.

Xavier Muriel, Cycle Source Magazine’s 2019 Readers Poll Builder of the Year and builder of Easyriders Magazine’s 2019 Bike of the Year, built a custom motorcycle for us, and one lucky member of the High Seas Rally community will win it! The love for motorcycles courses through Xavier’s bloodline. At 6 years old, Xavier received his first bike from his father — a 1974 Honda “Mr. 50.” At the same time, Xavier was also growing increasingly passionate about music, which turned into a career that took him all over the world. Xavier has played on the same stages as his childhood idols, but he never loosened his grip on his love for motorcycles. In between tours and recording as a drummer for Buckcherry, Xavier built a motorcycle for himself, just for kicks. His father always told him, “Exhaust all efforts before you pay someone to do it.” That first bike sent Xavier down the road to begin building custom motorcycles professionally and opening his own shop. With help from friends in the industry, Xavier dove into building custom motorcycles with the same love he put into his music. “To me, these two loves are one in the same,” Xavier says. “It is a creative process that starts with an idea from which you take the raw elements and time and hard work, and then you watch it come to life. That is the beauty from which art is created. I approach my builds in the same manner as my drumming: Less is always more. Clean and simple lines that enhance the overall feel and look of a bike. To me, that makes a motorcycle. After all they are made to be ridden.” Learn More

Pat Patterson has risen to the top of the customer motorcycle world with his skills and eye for design. Pat thrives in the Sportster market with his custom bikes, complete product line and unique approach to style. Pat and Led Sled Customs have separated themselves and continue to plow a path for the new generation of bike builders.⁠ Led Sled Customs has been featured in nearly every major motorcycle publication in the world with their custom builds. Pat has also led the way in the custom Sportster components and modifications. For the last decade, Pat has focused his attention on the overlooked Sportster market, chopped it up, rebuilt it, and stamped his style all over it.⁠ It actually all started while Pat was running a trucking business. Having a few drivers and still driving himself, time on the road kept him dreaming. What began as a hobby trying to fab up his own 1993 Sportster, ended up as a side business out of his 100 sq ft garage. Led Sled Customs had its own business card in 2002. After a few paint jobs and the first frame modification, in 2003 Pat Patterson ended his trucking business and opened the doors at an old five-n-dime store with a huge future ahead of him.⁠ Going from mostly paint jobs to an entire line of custom Sportster parts and builds, Led Sled has skyrocketed to truly becoming the Sportster Authority. There was such a need to make this really cool, fast Sportster model into something people, at first glance, have no idea is a Sportster! Spending 18 years in a space that doesn't really seem like more than 100 sq ft...he is thrilled to have moved, as of 2021, into a much larger space and inside a barn built in 1878. Led Sled has produced hundreds of custom bikes and shipped parts not only to all 50 states, but over 80 countries worldwide.⁠ At the beginning of his 21st year, Pat is not stopping. With solid production capabilities and growing product line, Led Sled Customs is aggressively making the push into the Dealer and Wholesale markets with the primary goals of supplying the highest quality USA made aftermarket Sportster components at the best pricing in the industry.

Chris Callen was born with a passion for motorcycles. Fueled by a desire to live, work and play in the motorcycle industry, Chris launched Cycle Source magazine 23 years ago from the back of his aftermarket parts shop. On a borrowed computer, 24 glorious pages came to life and were freely circulated within a 100-mile radius of his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. Every 30 days since March 1997, Chris has continued to improve Cycle Source — in page count, paper quality, and content until 2005 when the magazine ceased free distribution and entered the national newsstand. As print media and consumer habits evolved, Chris steered Cycle Source forward with new technology. From web content to video shorts through companies he started like Rally TV and then Grease & Gears TV, Callen continued to improve the reach of his content while the newsstand world changed. Events, including motorcycle shows, bike games, and mini-bike races, became another big part of Cycle Source’s operations. It was these events that gave birth to the idea of Grease & Gears Garage, where bike builders and parts manufacturers would join Cycle Source on stage at major rally venues and show their craft. Callen added in the component of streaming it live, some of the first content of its kind in the motorcycle world, and the program became a fast success. In 2017, Callen launched the weekly simulcast ShopTalk that quickly became a live weekly version of the magazine with interviews, tech tips, and motorcycle news. Most recently, he developed the Cyber Show and Rally, the world's first-ever virtual bike show and motorcycle rally.

Geoff Bodine is a retired American motorsport driver and bobsled builder. Geoff is a big supporter of the High Seas Rally Dialysis Fund and is sailing with us for the 10th year in 2022. Geoff is best known for his NASCAR Winston Cup (now Nextel Cup) career. His first full season in the Winston Cup came in 1982 when he earned the Rookie of the Year title. He earned his first Winston Cup pole that year on his 19th start and scored his first Winston Cup victory two years later. Geoff's biggest win came at the 1986 Daytona 500. Other career highlights include the 1987 International Race of Champions championship, the 1992 Busch Clash, the 1994 Winston Select, and the 1994 Busch Pole award. He has always been a great innovator and brought many ideas to Winston Cup, including power steering and full-faced helmets. Geoff's creativity and innovation are not just limited to NASCAR racing. He is also the co-owner of the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Company. Geoff’s bobsled interest started during the 1992 Winter Olympics when the U.S. Bobsled Team was having a tough time during the competition. He felt that he could help the team win with better bobsled technology derived from his racecar engineering background and experience. The U.S. National Team first used their sleds in 1994. Ten years after Bo-Dyn's inception, the U.S. team won three medals in Bo-Dyn Bobsleds during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. In 2010, a Bo-Dyn sled won the Olympic gold medal, the first USA gold medal since 1948. Geoff was inducted into the USA Bobsled/Skeleton Hall of Fame in 2021.
