Just in time for the Superbowl, Busch Light and Kenny G have joined forces to release a nostalgic beer campaign that pays homage to an iconic ad from the beer brand. Buddbed 'Head for the Mountains,' the new commercial features Bush's original song by the same name that first launch over 40 years ago. In celebration of the beer best enjoyed in the mountains, the spot was inspired by Kenny G's classic tune, 'it's cold and smooth and waiting for you.'
"Busch Light is about smoothness and refreshment, and if you’re familiar with my work, it should be pretty clear why this partnership works so beautifully! said Kenny G. "For this project, we tapped into the Busch Light archives and came up with a really energetic reprise of ‘Head for the Mountains.’ I’m excited for the fans to hear my sax on it, and hope they can enjoy the spot with a cold Busch Light in hand on game day!"
Fans can catch legendary Kenny G and Busch Light during the big game and learn how to "Head for the Mountains." To enter the sweepstakes, fans can tweet @buschbeer using #mountainofbusch#sweepstake.
