Amarillo, Texas, native John Rich got his start in contemporary country as bassist and singer in the 1990s country band Lonestar. After leaving that band in 1998, Rich tinkered with a solo career (recording an album in 1999, UNDERNEATH THE SAME MOON, that wasn't actually released until 2006) before forming the phenomenally successful country-rock duo Big and Rich with Big Kenny in 2003. After several years of success with the duo and as a writer/producer for other artists, Rich returned to his solo career with the 2009 autobiographical concept album SON OF A PREACHER MAN.
