<b>About Big & Rich</b>
This country music phenom includes Big Kenny Alphin and John Rich. Both singer-songwriters are set to perform a show featuring their third studio release, <i>Between Raising Hell And Amazing Grace</i>. This highly anticipated set is highlighted by chart-topping tracks like, <i>Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy), Holy Water</i> and <i>Big Time.</i>
The world was introduced to the genre-bending super-duo with the release of their May 2004 triple-platinum, No.1 debut release <i>Horse Of A Different Color</i>. The album reached number one on both the Billboard national chart as well as the <i>Billboard</i> country music chart. The most successful song from the album, <i>Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)</i> reached No. 11 on country radio, and received wide exposure when ESPN featured the song in commercials for its coverage of the 2005 World Series of Poker.
Their follow-up CD, <i>Comin’ To Your City</i>, was released in November 2005 and has also achieved platinum status, fueled by hits like the much nominated title track <i>8th of November.</i>
<b>Awards and accolades</b>
The duo has been nominated for several Grammy Awards and has gone home with: a Billboard Music Award for New Country Duo/Group Artist of the Year and the Country Music Association’s Duo of the Year and Horizon Awards.
Big Kenny is a BMI Songwriter of the Year, and scored his first No. 1 hit for Tim McGraw’s <i>Last Dollar</i>. John Rich was awarded the ASCAP Songwriter/Artist of the year two years in a row and has penned No.1 hits for Gretchen Wilson, Faith Hill and Jason Aldean. Rich is also a prolific producer, having worked with John Anderson, Randy Owen, Jewel and many more.
<b>Sound stylings</b>
Big & Rich, known for their mixing of traditional country sounds with hip-hop, rock and the occasional Native American yell, will follow crowd pleasing opener, Cowboy Troy, one of the most prominent black country performer since Charley Pride.
<b>About Cowboy Troy</b>
Cowboy Troy is a singer-songwriter who developed a style he calls "hick-hop," which blends various country, rock, rap and Tejano influences. He appeared on Big & Rich's <i>Horse of a Different Color,</i> rapping the fourth verse to the first track, <i>Rollin' (The Ballad of Big and Rich).</i> As a backup vocalist for Big & Rich, Troy toured with Tim McGraw and provided a rap track to McGraw's ballad <i>She's My Kind of Rain.</i> Cowboy Troy released his first major-label solo album, <i>Loco Motive</i> in 2005.
