COUNTRY SUPERSTAR DUO BIG & RICH TO HEADLINE RIAA/MUSICIANS ON CALL INAUGURAL BENEFIT
 

WASHINGTON, D.C. (December 20, 2016)
– Country music superstar act Big & Rich will be the headlining
entertainment at the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA)
second-ever inauguration charity event benefiting Musicians On Call. The
hit duo will perform their set at the 9:30 Club the evening of the
presidential inauguration on Friday, January 20, 2017.

Comprised of Big Kenny and “Celebrity Apprentice” winner John Rich,
Big & Rich have exerted a definitive gravitational pull to the
direction modern country music has taken. Known as “America’s
Technicolor cowboys,” Big & Rich have made a career of being
relatable and musically relevant since exploding into the public
consciousness in 2003. Their 2004 debut studio album Horse of a Different Color shot to RIAA triple-Platinum and included smash hit “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy),” while their latest album Gravity
scored three back-to-back-to-back Top Ten country hits with “Look at
You,” “Run Away With You,” and “Lovin’ Lately” featuring Tim McGraw.
Meanwhile, their hit “Comin’ to Your City” is nearing a decade as the
theme song for ESPN’s College GameDay.

“Musicians On Call brings the healing power of music to the bedsides
of patients in healthcare facilities nationwide,” said Pete Griffin,
President of Musicians On Call. “We are so grateful for RIAA’s long term
support of our mission and to be the charitable beneficiary of Big
& Rich’s performance in Washington, DC.”
