The first gig has already been confirmed, a Friday, July 15th concert at Mount Rushmore Brewing Company in Custer.

Ivory was founded in the Black Hills in 1975 with members from all over South Dakota.

Over the next 13 years, the band had recording sessions in Denver, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles, and shared the stage with rock icons like Cheap Trick, REO Speedwagon, and Night Ranger.

After calling it quits in 1988, the band got back together again for induction into the South Dakota Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

Other members of the group over the years have included Dick Mattson, Danny Malloy,  Mike Drew, Darren Drew, Scott Stackhouse, Todd Olson, Kenny Odean, and Talon Isom.
