Over 300 Raiders Alumni and their guests will gather inside the Wynn Field Club at Allegiant Stadium this Saturday when the Las Vegas Raiders host the San Francisco 49ers.
At halftime, George Thorogood will take the stage to perform. With his smash originals “I Drink Alone,” “Gear Jammer,” and the song that resonates around the world with just a few chords, his anthem “Bad To The Bone,” Thorogood and the Destroyers have forged a one-of-a-kind career built on humor, fervor and six-string swagger. By putting his unique spin on blues, country and R&B tracks by icons including Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker and Hank Williams, Thorogood’s versions of classic hits like “Who Do You Love?” “Boogie Chillun'” and “Move It On Over” have kept the music of these American treasures relevant by introducing them to new streaming audiences every day.
