Big & Rich Served Up Free In Binghamton Big & Rich play free spontaneous show in Binghamton, NY. By Neil Haislop
BINGHAMTON, NY Friday Jun.16.2006 /netmusiccountdown.com/ -- Big & Rich invaded Binghamton, New York, Tuesday night for a impromptu show after making an unscheduled stop at WHWK The Hawk.
Big Kenny, John Rich and Raybaw Records Director of Promotions Jimmy Rector are on the road between tour dates visiting radio stations to talk about the duo's current single "8th of November."
Under the pretense of stopping through town for dinner, Rector, who has known PD Ed Walker for years and had not mentioned that Big Kenny and John Rich were with him, surprised the station with an on-air visit.
What was initially going to be a 20-minute stop to say a quick hello and thank-you ended up as another Big & Rich night-to-remember. After chatting on the air for a few minutes the guys decided they were in the mood to do what they do best - entertain a live audience. A few phone calls later, the Magic City Music Hall agreed to open for a FREE Big & Rich concert that was to start as soon as possible.
The guys turned in a 90-minute set that closed with a moving a capella version of "8th of November."
