About Big & Rich
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, Between Raising Hell And Amazing Grace. This highly anticipated set is highlighted by chart-topping tracks like, Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy), Holy Water and Big Time.

The world was introduced to the genre-bending super-duo with the release of their May 2004 triple-platinum, No.1 debut release Horse Of A Different Color. The album reached number one on both the Billboard national chart as well as the Billboard country music chart. The most successful song from the album, Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy) 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, Comin’ To Your City, was released in November 2005 and has also achieved platinum status, fueled by hits like the much nominated title track 8th of November.

Awards and accolades
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 Last Dollar. 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.

Sound stylings
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.

About Cowboy Troy
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 Horse of a Different Color, rapping the fourth verse to the first track, Rollin' (The Ballad of Big and Rich). As a backup vocalist for Big & Rich, Troy toured with Tim McGraw and provided a rap track to McGraw's ballad She's My Kind of Rain. Cowboy Troy released his first major-label solo album, Loco Motive in 2005.
