Buffalo Chip Video Spotlight: Iron Cowgirl Missy

Last night was opening night of Sturigs 2011 and  "Iron Cowgirl Missy" Covill's first night on stage at the Sam Kinison Showcase Stage at the Legendary Buffalo Chip. Playing guitar and singing original music on stage in front of a bunch of bikers is what she likes best. I met her last year up in Michigan and I can tell you, she's the real thing: A true biker who rides cross-country on her Harley softtail and will offer you a campsite and share a meal with you. The Sturis 2010 Rally was the fullfillment of a dream to play at the Buffalo Chip.

Iron Cowgirl Missy Covill will also be playing at the new "Biker Belles" charity event for women riders. "We couldn't be more excited about this inaugural celebration of women in motorcycling in Sturgis.” said Laura Klock. “Whether you’re an avid motorcyclist, a curiosity seeker, or someone looking for a new change of pace, you are welcome to join us! “Biker Belles™ will be a day of real women, real stories and real fun!” Read more.

While at the party, Laura and her staff will be selling raffle tickets to win this special bike that will be given away in support of the Abbott House next fall. “We couldn’t be more excited about this inaugural celebration of women in motorcycling in Sturgis.” said Laura Klock. “Whether you’re an avid motorcyclist, a curiosity seeker, or someone looking for a new change of pace, you are welcome to join us! “Biker Belles™ will be a day of real women, real stories and real fun!”

Iron Cowgirl Missy On The Road To Sturgis

Iron Cowgirl Missy rocked her hometown, Jackson, Michigan on July 24th as a warm-up for her "dream gig" at The Legendary Buffalo Chip during the 70th Anniversary of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Her tour is named after one of her many original songs, "Heart Of Steel."

Missy has been on a motorcycle since she was 8 years old and has ridden across the country. She has also ridden a horse across Michigan.

You can learn more about this talented young musician "chasing her dreams with a fury" at http://www.ironcowgirlmissy.com/ - She will be broadcasting LIVE "On The Road To Sturgis." Here's the link to UStream.TV.


Iron Cowgirl Missy's Heart of Steel tour bus pulls out Sunday, and they will be meeting up with riders all along the way... on the road to Sturgis. When she returns to Michigan with pictures and stories, she will be attending the Porcupine BASH 2010, Aug. 27 to 29th in Chatham, MI.

She is coming to BASH 2010 because she believes in "Paying it Forward" and that is what she has been doing all along the road of chasing her dreams... Supporting our troops, American Cancer Society, Salvation Army and many other worthwhile causes with her energy and music.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun journey to this year's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Aug. 8 to 15th!
