Superstar Duo Big & Rich To Headline RIAA/Musicians On Call Inaugural Benefit

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 Gravityscored 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."
