BUFFALO CHIP CAMPGROUND, SD -- Iconic hard rock singer-songwriter- guitarist Lita Ford will play at the Legendary Buffalo Chip Campground Monday, Aug. 3 during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Ford began her career as a founding member and lead guitar player for the hard rockin' all-female band, The Runaways, which also included lead singer Joan Jett.

Ford later went on to a solo career, managed by Sharon Osbourne.  Her hits
include: "Kiss Me Deadly, Hungry," "Close My Eyes Forever," (a duet with Ozzy Osbourne),  "Lisa," "Shot of Poison,"  "Gotta Let Go," 
"Back To The Cave," "Out For Blood," and "Fallin In and Out of Love," 
which she co-wrote with Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue.

In spite of her striking good looks, Ford established herself as a first-class guitarist and singer-songwriter.

Missing from the stage for 15 years, while she and husband Jim Gillette of the band Nitro raised their two sons, Ford is returning 
to recording and performing this year with only 75 concert dates.  
Ford and family live on a deserted Caribbean island.

"We're absolutely delighted to welcome Lita Ford to the stage at the Legendary Buffalo Chip," said Rod Woodruff, campground owner. "She is the personification of the rock spirit that moves our audience of bikers and other music fans."

Ford joins a full slate of events on Monday of the rally including the Legends Ride, The Chip's annual Tribute to the Military and a performance by country superstar Toby Keith.

Other confirmed performers for the Buffalo Chip's concert series
include: Aerosmith, George Thorogood & the Destroyers, Billy Squier and counter-culture comics Cheech & Chong.
