  • Big Kenny and John Rich, Together Known As Big & Rich, Are Bringing
    Contact: Caitlyn Baker [email protected] (805) 944-7780 (c) (805) 350-7913 (o) COUNTRY DUO BIG & RICH TO PERFORM AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT SANTA YNEZ, CA – July 26, 2019 – Big Kenny and John Rich, together known as Big & Rich, are bringing their electrifying “Peace, Love & Happy Hour Tour” to the Chumash Casino Resort’s Samala Showroom at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 23, 2019. Tickets for the show are $69, $74, $79, $89 & $99. Individually, Big Kenny and John Rich are first-rate musicians, songwriters, producers and entertainers. Prior to their formation, Rich was a bass guitarist in the country band Lonestar, while Kenny was a solo artist for Hollywood Records. Together, these American, technicolor cowboys break the boundaries with their high energy and originality. The duo released their first album, “Horse of a Different Color,” in 2004. Their debut single, “Wild West Show,” peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard country music charts. Their second single, “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy),” not only peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard country music charts, but the music video was the most-requested on the television networks Country Music Television and Great American Country for four consecutive weeks. ESPN also used the song as the theme music for its World Series of Poker. In 2005, their second album’s debut single, “Comin’ To Your City,” was well received and ESPN utilized an altered version of the song as the opening theme for its Saturday program, “College Game Day.” A few years later, the duo released their third studio album, “Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace.” The album’s first single, “Lost in this Moment,” was their only No.

  • “Big” Kenny Alphin and John Rich Brought There Rousing Show to the Toyota Pavilion at St
    Big and Rich Bring Really Big Show to St. Leonard Posted by Dick.Myers_Editor On 09/02/2012 “Big” Kenny Alphin and John Rich brought there rousing show to the Toyota Pavilion at St. Leonard VFD Saturday to a much appreciative and large audience. Big and Rich have been together since their first studio album in 2004 but went their separate ways in 2008 only to be reunited last year. The duo’s several hour set included everything from an extended, raucous version of their first hit ”Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” to a patriotic rendition of a cut from their fourth album “Hillbilly Jedi” due out September 18th. Before becoming Big and Rich John Rich was founding member of the band “Lonestar” and performed solo and Big Kenny was also a solo artist. Big and Rich were joined on stage by several members of the Armed Forces, who joined them for a toast to all service members and veterans. And Big Kenny also took the time to note the location of the pavilion and praised volunteer first responders, much to the delight of the many fire department volunteers to help make the concerts a success. They also were joined on stage by their buddy, Cowboy Troy, who has recorded with them on occasion and performs with them often. He stands 6’ 5” and is one of only a handful of African American country artists. He is perhaps best known for being the host of “Nashville Star.” The rousing conclusion to their appearance might have made a rock band blush, what with setting fire to one guitar and smashing two.
