Why you don’t want to miss Southern Sturgis Bike Week in The Shoals

Attention all Bikers and Rock fans: Southern Sturgis Bike Week is here! Muscle Shoals is the birthplace of Southern Rock thanks to the influence that FAME Recording Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio had on the Rock N’ Roll music genre in the South. Southern Sturgis Bike Week highlights and celebrates all things rock and all things that reminds us of the true south that many of us love. So, let’s take a look at what the action-packed Bike Week will entail!

The Background behind Southern Sturgis

Southern Sturgis is an exhilarating bike rally being brought to the Shoals by Homeless Warriors Charity for a week-long celebration. Not only is the event fundraising for homeless Veteran’s, but it’s bringing a kickin’ Rock N’ Roll festival to the Muscle Shoals area. Given that Muscle Shoals has honorable history and remarkable impacts in the music world, especially Blues and Rock, it’s a must that a festival like this one be brought here.

What to Expect

You can expect A LOT — to say the least. The event lasts all of 5 days, so there’s endless amount of festivities to fill your week up with. Be prepared for speedy bike races, tent camping, horseback riding, tasty barbecue, cold beer and the most exciting part of it all, rock concerts! Southern Rock Woodstock is bringing over 13 bands to rock the stage over the course of 2 days during the bike week. Some of those bands include:

• Indianhead, Southern Hard/Rock Metal Band
• Blacktop Ridge , Southern Rock Band from Tupelo

A full list of the concert lineup will be updated here closer to the event date.
