Get your motor runnin' and head out on the highway, because an American Idol finalist, legendary slow riders, and up-and-coming Brits are born to be wild at the Anniversary's Kickoff Party near Harley-Davidson's corporate headquarters at 35th and Highland Ave.

Amanda Overmyer (4:15 pm) may have finished 11th on the most recent season of AI, but won the hearts of many of the show's hard rock fans with a gravelly voice that channeled Janis Joplin and a passion for Harleys that makes her a natural here. 

Foghat (5:15 pm & 6:15 pm) will play a split set bookending the official Kickoff Ceremony (6:00) and will have bikers banging their heads to classics like "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "Drivin' Wheel," and, of course, the quintessential driving song "Slow Ride."   

The Crave (7:30 pm) will be all over the party, opening for ZZ Top, Daughtry, and the Foo Fighters over the next few days.  Tonight, though, they headline what promises to be a rocking triple bill.
