The award-winning, multi-platinum super duo Big & Rich announce the 2019 “Peace, Love & Happy Hour Tour” presented by Redneck Rivera Whiskey.  The tour is booked by WME (William Morris Endeavor).  Continuing with their tradition of honoring veterans and first responders, the stage will include a pop-up Heroes Bar for the special guests to get the utmost backstage experience.  For tour information and more, visit Big & Rich. 

Big Kenny and John Rich, aka Big & Rich have blazed an indelible mark on modern country music, not simply by breaking the rules, but by setting them on fire.  From the early days at Nashville’s Pub of Love that launched the musical movement MuzikMafia, multi-platinum records, numerous chart-topping singles and albums, to having performed well into the 1000s of shows around the globe, the duo has amassed a multi-generational community of listeners.   Now, a decade and a half into the storied career, they are ready to ignite an electrifying show filled with antics and creativity as only these two have mastered.

The Redneck Riviera Whiskey presents Big & Rich’s “Peace, Love & Happy Hour Tour' is a combination of these two very separate individuals, who in many ways, might seem polar opposites.  “I think Kenny and I are a great representation of how America should be in general, “ says John.  “We disagree on a lot of things, but the things we agree on override our disagreements.”

Big Kenny agrees, “I think we both bring a balance to each other, no matter what the situation is.  That’s what makes relationships good, when you have that dynamic.”

From the signature barn-raiser “Save A Horse, Ride a Cowboy,” to the 12-year running ESPN College Game Day anthem “Comin’ To Your City,” their presence has been immeasurable through ground breaking video and television appearances.

BIG & RICH RISE INTO TOP 10 ON COUNTRY RADIO WITH "LOVIN' LATELY" FEATURING TIM MCGRAW

The duo Big & Rich have always marched to the beat of their own drum, but now it seems that Big Kenny and John Rich are bucking the musical trends more than ever. With the entry of their latest single, “Lovin’ Lately,” into the Top 10 this week, the award-winning duo can claim a “hat trick” of three straight singles in that portion of the chart in their decade-plus history. But, the story doesn’t end there.

The singles – all from their Gravity album – were released on the group’s own Big & Rich Records label and promoted by their own independent promotion team at New Revolution – a rarity in today’s scene, controlled mainly by the majors. The duo had been part of the Warner Brothers roster for well over a decade when they decided to tackle a new way of doing things business-wise. Rich admits it was a little scary, but it’s paying off quite well.

"It's terrifying and exciting all at the same time. You take on all the business and marketing side yourself, but there's a big team of people that we have assembled that are helping us do this. But at the end of the day, our board meeting consists of two guys. If we agree, it will happen, and if we don't, it doesn't."

The single features a vocal cameo from fellow hit maker Tim McGraw, who actually gave them the idea for the song. “He told it to us in a parking lot in Canada, where we were doing a show with him. He said he had a song title -- 'Who You Been Loving Lately?' We thought it was brilliant. We wrote it, recorded it, and emailed it to him. His response was a video treatment -- he wrote an entire video script for the song. I looked at Kenny and said, 'I guess he likes it.' Kenny said, 'Apparently so, we should ask him if he wants to sing on it.' He said, 'Sure! What are you doing next Thursday at 3pm?' We said, 'Recording you, Brother Tim.”

And, the rest, as they say…..is another part of the Big & Rich story! For more information about the duo, visit www.BigandRich.com
