JOHN RICH WITH COWBOY TROY Monday, February 8 at 7:00pm With the leadoff single to his first solo project, John Rich has captured the tenor of a troubled age. "Shuttin' Detroit Down," a populist anthem that gives voice to millions of hard-working Americans. The song is a fitting kickoff to "Son of a Preacher Man", an album that finds country music's Renaissance Everyman giving full rein to his own creative voice in a project as personal as it is musically arresting. Son of a Preacher Man grew out of a combination of factors that has so often worked magic for him--a creative window and sheer talent. A prolific songwriter, he has written more than 1300, John had a number of songs that were outside the scope of Big & Rich…and so he comes to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo as John Rich with Cowboy Troy! |

This unique blend of genres can be heard in his hit singles "Feel That Fire," "Sideways," and "I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes." |

ELI YOUNG BAND Saturday, February 20 at 7:30pm The Eli Young Band's music has all the hallmarks of youth: passion, energy, excitement. The band's story is the definition of commitment: eight years of lugging equipment to small Texas clubs, of losing day jobs because their music held priority, of saying goodbye to relationships torn by their weekend travels, only solidified their dedication. This dedication paid off with their hit "When it Rains" which got them opening for Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews Band, Jason Aldean and John Mellencamp.
