Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson to headline Sunday night for Naperville Jaycees Last Fling
Five years after completing one of the most successful tours in country music history, multi-platinum powerhouses Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson will hit the road for “Xtreme Muzik, The Tour” landing at the Naperville Last Fling (www.lastfling.org) on Sunday, September 4, 2011.
Big & Rich are “Coming to Your City!”
Big Kenny & John Rich are immediately recognized throughout pop culture for their breakout hits “Save a Horse”, “Lost in This Moment” and heartrending ballad “8th of November”. Their powerful and exciting shows and addicting blend of traditional Country, hip-hop, rock, and soul have kept their fans jonesing for more.
Gretchen is “Here for the Party!”
Gretchen Wilson’s no-nonsense style and relatable songs have given her originality within the genre an elite few women have possessed. An Illinois native and ex-bartender, she wears an identity that resonates strongly with fans of Country and Southern rock--the independent, take-no-guff, hard-working and hard-partying country girl. ““Redneck Woman”, “Work hard, Play Harder” and “All Jacked Up” are just some of the fan favorites sure to rock the Main Stage.
Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson will perform at the Last Fling Main Stage, located at the base of Rotary Hill near Naperville's famed Riverwalk, beginning at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday night. The rest of the weekend’s entertainment lineup will be announced as details are finalized.
