In keeping with the retro 1970s theme and the 50th anniversary of the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa — better known as RAGBRAI — a band responsible for one of the defining rock anthems of that era will be the headlining act in Tama-Toledo on Thursday, July 27.

The British band will probably always be best remembered for “Slow Ride,” a hard rocking ode to taking it easy immortalized in the classic film “Dazed and Confused,” but they also achieved great success with their cover of Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want to Make Love to You.” Foghat hit the top 100 on the U.S. charts with eight other songs between 1973 and 1980, including a live version of “I Just Want to Make Love to You.”

The band has since gone through several lineup changes but has consistently continued to release new music and looks forward to rocking for a capacity crowd in Tama-Toledo as the two small communities host one of the biggest parties of the year.

More details about the concert will be shared with the public as they become available.
