The City of Hilliard is excited to announce the return of Freedom Fest, the City’s annual celebration of Independence Day, with live music by nationally known country band Big & Rich.
Big & Rich are America’s Technicolor cowboys. John Rich and Big Kenny are first-rate musicians, songwriters, producers, and entertainers. Together, they are one of the most truly original musical forces ever unleashed on a welcoming world. Big & Rich have made a career of being relatable and musically relevant since exploding into the public consciousness in 2003 as the rarest of breeds—true country music game changers. With 2004’s triple-platinum “Horse of a Different Color,” they were able to tap into the best strands of a wide spectrum of popular music, filter them through their pens and voices and produce a sound that is instantly recognizable, if not classifiable.
The band’s biggest hits include “Lost In This Moment,” “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy”, “Holy Water”, “”Big Time”, “Comin’ To Your City”, “8th of November”, “That’s Why I Pray”, and “Run Away With You”.
Freedom Fest will take place on Thursday, July 4, 2024. Big & Rich and their opening acts will begin performing at 5 p.m. at Roger A. Reynolds Municipal Park, 3800 Veterans Memorial Dr. Attendees will enjoy live music from nationally known artists, a large kid zone, food trucks and one of the biggest fireworks shows in central Ohio.
