What an awesome, awesome day.

The intense rain that has flooded middle Tennessee over the last couple weeks stopped, and all you could see was blue sky. It was gorgeous, and I spent some time with some of the most talented kids I’ve ever witnessed. I was over at Mt. View Elementary School in Antioch to donate some beautiful guitars.

Little Kids Rock, a non-profit group, helps to transform the lives of children by giving free music lessons and donating instruments in places where young students otherwise may not be able to receive musical education. So to help them out I, along with Guild guitars, donated 140 guitars to Mt. View and seven other schools in the Nashville area so Little Kids Rock can reach hundreds more children to share the love of music!

And I tell ya, it was impressive. You should see these 3rd, 4th and 5th graders perform! I walked into the room and was surrounded by 50 kids, guitars in hand, and they played for me. Hearing Ozzie’s Crazy Train and Guns N’ Roses’ Sweet Child O’ Mine from this group of children had me singing and playing along with them. Several different kids rocked on the drums, a couple played bass and one young girl sang and played! If only I could have had classes like this when I was their age…

Then they gave me a chance to play some music for them, so I asked them to help me sing Wake Up and Down to My Last Dollar. We had a little jam session, playing Comin’ To Your City and more before I had to leave.

But the best part of the afternoon was when we unveiled the Guild guitars. Seeing the smiles on those kids’ faces – that’s why I do what I do. Guild did a great job with the guitars, painting the Big & Rich logo on the front and Love Everybody on the back (just like mine!)

We’re going to have a video of the event up soon, so check back and see how great it all was!

Love Everybody!

Hello everyone, I’ve got some really exciting news! My wife, my best friend, the mother of my children and the love of my life, Christiev Alphin, is going to see a life dream come true this coming month!

On March 5th 7-9am est. Christiev will unveil the first pieces of her “Love Everybody” jewelry line on QVC.

*UPDATE* Looks like Christiev will be appearing around 7:45am. The link to purchase the Love Everybody lockets will be HERE.

She will start with two vintage inspired photo lockets, with her “le” heart emblem in Swarovski crystals. One of the first gifts she gave me was a photo locket I wear all the time with pictures of her and the kids in it. I cherish it.

It’s so cool to see someone take a beautiful idea and make it a reality. I’m so proud of my woman, and I know you will be too. In these days and times we all have had to work a little harder to keep our faith. Christiev’s determination and hard work over many years as an entrepreneur …to start her jewelry line and now seeing it come to reality is such great inspiration to me!

Check it out.

Peace, cheers, strength and great hope and blessings to you all,
