Concert Passes Here

The duo will bring their Light Up America Tour to the Legendary Buffalo Chip on Tuesday, Aug. 4, during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.  And Sturgis bikers have been enjoying their comedy for years.

With 10 albums under their belt and numerous comedy singles, there is scarcely a Sturgis Rally biker alive who hasn’t heard the iconic “Dave’s not here,” bit.  And, the duo has fourteen movies to their credit, not including the award winning 2005 documentary “a/k/a Tommy Chong, which documents the entrapment and inicarceration of Tommy Chong.

Chong appeared in such comedies as “Far Out Man” and co-starred on the Fox television series “That ‘70s Show,” where he played played the burned-out hippie, Leo.
