I am so jealous. I so want to go on one of the cruises if I have to go by myself. My hubby doesn't like being out on the ocean and I was born next to it.

just because's picture

I love Jill jack. Great call there. Know her personally. She would not disappoint. Besides some female artists would be cool. Would love to see Colt Ford on the boat. Kracker, Paradime, Ty and John Stone are all a must.

Also would sure like to see a comedian added, Carlos seemed to bring a lot of laughs to all. Not sure Katt Williams is quite ready but, hey, anyone decent would be great.

The boat seems bright and refreshing and fancy.
and the BEDSSSSSSSSSSSSS omy goodness hahahhahasure hope KR dont get shoved in one,.hahahahahaha

KRSVal's picture

LOL Shirlee!
I'm looking forward to better food and no duct tape on the carpet to trip on :)

I still say a one nite with Hank Jr. would be perfect. Wish he'd do it.

Beckxy's picture

hmmmm.... on the boat (this is wishful thinking but not too far fetched). This would throw me through the roof... love to see a Kid and Shooter version ~wink~

Doesn't it feel like it just snuck up on us this year?
I don't know about you, but my calendar just EXPLODED with stuff I have to do right before I leave! I will be ready!

I think Beckxy said it perfectly..."We go for the music, blue water, and friends.. I can't tell you one show that didn't disappoint on that boat.. Bob knows how to pick them."
Even though I'm not familiar with some of the bands this year, I'm not worried, KR knows what he's doing. This cruise has all the things I love...sun, live music, drinking & partying with friends. What more could you ask for? ok...I wouldn't mind Lenny Kravitz too, Val ;)

KRSVal's picture

I agree with you ladies...I think the cruise serves as a showcase for up and coming or overlooked talent....that keeps it fresh. Kracker and Dime are fam so would just love to see them confirmed for shows...Ty too, but would really like to hear some of the new stuff he has been working on.
That being said, I guess it is wishful thinking to ask for a Lenny Kravitz or some of the other big names we mentioned, but we can still dream, hey?
I appreciated being able to see John Eddie last year (overlooked talent)--you can pick out his songwriting style in 'Happy New Year' right off.

Still love Kracker check this out on Walmart Soundcheck:

Come on the boat!

Becky, I too am looking, and hoping, for some new meat! It's the same reason I don't vacation in the same spot consecutively. It gets monotonous. Love some Buckcherry, Grace Potter, and Hellbound, but feel like there are so many undiscovered worthy groups out there with bad ass talent. Check out Thomas Wynn and The Believers. I have my work cut out. I'd like to check out the bands you've all listed below. I'll do that and report back.

Beckxy's picture

Idk... no offense to anyone... but am I the only person who doesn't want to see John Stone come back this year. Paradime, Ty Stone is a must.. part of the family. I don't think Buckcherry's listed yet.. but perhaps bc of the tour it's a big possibility. I'm LOVIN the list so far... Shooter Jennings is well liked in this household.. My pops brought his dad's records home when I was a kid... and ever since we saw him on Kid Rock's Christmas special... we've sought out his albums and shows when he comes to town in our area. Small venues like the Crocodile Rock in Allentown :) So we are ready for some Shooter. Love to see Hellbound Glory come back.. raw talent.. love outlaw, rockabilly stuff... it's in the bad girl blood :) Everlast would be real cool !! I also have a thing for Nora Jones.. sultry ! A fellow Kid Rock fan/friend and I were discussing how we are digging on Grace Potter and The Nocturnals. How about Robert Randolph and the Family Band? or The North Mississippi Allstars..which I've read have ties with Julison. I feel they should bring back Envy.. and put the band up on the lido deck outside,under the night sky. Blackberry Smoke will blow you away.. their sound is amazing. I was checking out the Heathens on youtube.. they sound like they belong on the ship. I think it's gonna be one musically festive great time. We go for the music, blue water, and friends.. I can't tell you one show that didn't disappoint on that boat.. Bob knows how to pick them.

bluesuedeshoe's picture

Hmmm, you sure? Thought they were confirmed.

1bbshirlee's picture

I agree,.musics music if ya cant take a bad song and make it better well,.well,.theres something wrong withya,.I could careless what other performers are on the boat well besides Slim Shady (didnt want to disrespect and thats the only 1 of his names I can spell right) so with no disrespect to anyone,.please thank KR cuz my ass woundnt be on that boat if it wasent 4 him.

bluesuedeshoe's picture

You have Bob, TBT, Buckcherry and Shooter Jennings....what more do you want, lol?

KRSVal's picture

I am resurrecting this for further discussion, as our time together is getting much closer--YAYYYY!!
New thoughts, renewed ideas, same ole suggestions?
Would still really like to see Paradime, Uncle Kracker and Crew, and Ty Stone on the billing...please?
And maybe Lenny Kravitz for a visit?

KRSVal's picture

I like The Rockets, too, CP.
Skidrow, Becks? well at least you didn't say Motley Crue--bwahaaaaaaa

Beckxy's picture

lol.. I missed seeing this Val.. well you know.. reverting back to the hair band days again..lol

ChippewaPrincess's picture

Here are my picks -
Howlin Diablos,
The Rockets, yeah I know they are old and yes the lead singer died, but WOW , what tunes they have, Wammer Jammer,
speaking of wammer jammer -
Peter Wolf and J Geils Band what a house party that would be!!!!

LK's Soap Box's picture

Why the two Leroys -- Virgil, with Hellbound Glory and Leroy Powell. Ty Stone always. A Zac Brown appearance would be stellar -- he has his own cruise too, but still. And a huge (crush, I mean) treat would be . . .T.I. <3 : )~

clark92's picture

blake shelton and pistol annies would be awesome however he is already doing his own cruise so i doubt he would come

Beckxy's picture

Hellbound Glory, Ty Stone, Paradime
Sonia Leigh (no doubt)
Colt Ford
Everlast
Limp Bizkit (would be a nice reunion of sorts..lol).. yea right!!, I know..ha
Skid Row..lol
Slayer (Krause Rulez) lol

KRSVal's picture

Hey Clark92, wonder if we could get Pistol Annies AND Blake Shelton?
Yes BobF, I agree.

clark92's picture

clark92's picture
