Eddie Trunk
Rock expert and TV/radio personality Eddie Trunk hits the road, taking viewers behind the scenes of the sights, sounds, bands, and stunts that make some of the country’s top music festivals so legendary in the all-new AXS TV series TrunkFest—premiering Sunday, July 1 at 9:30pE.
In this exclusive first look at the series’ premiere, Trunk rolls into the one and only Sturgis Motorcycle Rally at Buffalo Chip where he hitches a ride in a fan’s sidecar; sits down for an exclusive interview with Blues Rock superstar George Thorogood; and gets schooled in the ways of motorcycle stunts with daredevil Doug Danger, who takes Eddie behind the scenes of his breathtaking Rattlesnake Jump.
Then, on July 8, Trunk takes a creepy cruise down to New Orleans for the legendary Voodoo Music + Arts Experience. While there, Trunk celebrates Halloween with a harrowing trip through a decrepit haunted house full of clowns and other ghouls; eats a fried Oreo for the first time; learns how to make the Louisiana staple jambalaya; and sits down with Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, as well as with rock supergroup Prophets Of Rage featuring Tom Morello and Chuck D.
