Ted Nugent recently received word he will be presented with a Distinguished Achievement Award at the annual Detroit Awards Ceremony April 17. To celebrate the occasion Nugent will re-unite his first recording band, the Amboy Dukes. It will mark the first time since 1968 the band has performed together.
"This is a great moment to celebrate," Nugent tells Billboard.com. "I got the word about (the award) and said, 'Well, of course it must be done. It's as proper as tomorrow's sunrise.' I immediately reached out to John (Brake, vocalist) and Andy (Solomon, keyboards and saxophone) and started tracking down people."
