Big and Rich

The beginning of a new year always carries with it major reflection on the year prior, and also happens to usher in awards season! Yesterday, Strictly Country announced the winners of the 17th Annual Spirit Awards, which included honors for such prolific performers as The Zach Brown Band, Vince Gill, Tim McGraw, Alison Krauss and Merle Haggard.

But the biggest surprise came when the President at Strictly Country named The Xtreme Muzik Tour with Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson and Cowboy Troy as winners of the President’s Choice Award.

“The Xtreme Muzik Tour blew us out of the water,” stated President of Strictly Country Gina Kay Singerhouse. “It’s ingenious how they designed that tour so that each entertainer was on stage at all times. It made for an incredible performance, one that will forever be embedded in the minds of those who witnessed it.”

Everyone at the Love Everybody camp is so grateful for this honor, but we know that it’s YOU that made The Xtreme Muzik Tour the wildest show of 2011. Here’s looking at 2012!
