BIG & RICH STAR ROCKS HIS WAY TO TLC WITH "BIG KENNY AND FAMILY"

- Hour Long Special Premieres Wednesday, September 2 at 10/9c -

(NEW YORK, NY) - With a style that's part pirate, part Renaissance man, and a good bit rock and roll country boy, Kenny Alphin, aka "Big Kenny" of Big & Rich, ditched farm life in Virginia to pursue his dream of making music in Nashville. Fueled by faith, authenticity, and plenty of heart, BIG KENNY AND FAMILY follows Kenny, his wife Christiev, and their sons, Dakota, Lincoln, Christopher and Cameron, as they navigate their unordinary home life while Kenny is on a break from his whirlwind tour. The all-new one-hour special premieres Wednesday, September 2 at 10/9c on TLC.

Big & Rich are killing it in the charts and Kenny's on the road well over half the year, making the few days home with his family truly special and completely unpredictable. Despite his crazy travel schedule and Christiev's back-to-back styling gigs with A-list clientele, the couple manages to find the perfect balance between full-fledged rock stars and devoted parents.

Viewers will get the chance to take a peek inside Kenny's celebrity lifestyle and may be surprised to find that when he's not filling stadiums and concert venues, he lives a typical life - albeit influenced by his over-the-top personality - filled with family dinners, yard work, date nights, playtime and bedtime stories.

BIG KENNY AND FAMILY is produced by Pilgrim Studios, in association with Boomboombooya, Inc. for TLC. The executive producers are Craig Piligian, Yanne Debonne, Aaron Semmel, and Clay Vandiver. Kenny Alphin serves as Producer on the program.
