WITH BIG KENNY AND FAMILY
Hour Long Special Premieres Wednesday, September 2 at 10/9c
NEW
YORK, NY (August 10, 2015) – With a style that’s part pirate, part
Renaissance man, and a good bit rock and roll country boy, Kenny Alphin,
aka “Big Kenny” of Big & Rich, ditched farm life in Virginia to
pursue his dream of making music in Nashville. Fueled by faith,
authenticity, and plenty of heart, BIG KENNY AND FAMILY follows
Kenny, his wife Christiev, and their sons, Dakota, Lincoln, Christopher
and Cameron, as they navigate their unordinary home life while Kenny is
on a break from his whirlwind tour. The all-new one-hour special
premieres Wednesday, September 2 at 10/9c on TLC.
Big & Rich are killing it in the charts and Kenny’s on the road
well over half the year, making the few days home with his family truly
special and completely unpredictable. Despite his crazy travel schedule
and Christiev’s back-to-back styling gigs with A-list clientele, the
couple manages to find the perfect balance between full-fledged rock
stars and devoted parents.
Viewers will get the chance to take a peek inside Kenny’s celebrity
lifestyle and may be surprised to find that when he’s not filling
stadiums and concert venues, he lives a typical life – albeit influenced
by his over-the-top personality – filled with family dinners, yard
work, date nights, playtime and bedtime stories.
BIG KENNY AND FAMILY is produced by Pilgrim Studios,
in association with Boomboombooya, Inc. for TLC. The executive
producers are Craig Piligian, Yanne Debonne, Aaron Semmel, and Clay
Vandiver. Kenny Alphin serves as Producer on the program.
