Big & Rich set up showdown with Bon Jovi
Country pair Big Kenny and John Rich--better known as Big & Rich --have added a few more dates to their current tour, which backs June's "Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace."
The duo's new dates include two late October shows (Oct. 28 and 30) in New Jersey with Bon Jovi. The pair contributed vocals to the Jersey rock quartet's most recent album, the countrified "Lost Highway."
Big & Rich continue their tour Friday (9/28) in Kinder, LA. All of the duo's currently scheduled dates are shown below.
The duo recently celebrated its first No. 1 hit, with the lead single from the new album, "Lost in This Moment," climbing to the top of Billboard's Country Singles chart.
Penned by Rich along with Rodney Clawson and Keith Anderson, the song had sat on the duo's shelf for several years. "It's been sitting around in a catalog for four, five years now," Rich recently told CMT Radio. "Just didn't seem like, early on, something we would sound good doing. But we listened to it on the bus and I said I always thought this was a pretty good song ... we said let's cut it and see how it turns out. And it turned out really great."
The song recently netted the pair a couple of CMA Awards nominations, in the Vocal of the Year and Single of the Year categories, with Rich adding a third nomination--Song of the Year--for the co-writing credit on the track.
