June 1, 2007 — Tomorrow GAC viewers will experience the mellow side of 2007 ACM Top Vocal Duo nominees Big & Rich with the premiere of "Big & Rich: Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace." The one-hour special features interviews with the duo and acoustic performances of new songs from their upcoming album, Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace, which hits shelves on June 5.

"Most fans who have attended a Big & Rich concert more than likely have witnessed them perform in large (outdoor) arenas with many other acts in a wild party atmosphere; however, this time the duo is inviting viewers to a more intimate, acoustic party," says Sarah Trahern, senior vice president of GAC. "This show is a great addition to our current list of exclusive and original artist concerts available on GAC."

Big & Rich perform newer titles "Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace" and "Lost in this Moment" in addition to "Holy Water," the rambunctious "Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy" and the ACM and Grammy award-nominee "8th of November."
"The kind of music we are doing as Big & Rich is exactly the kind of thing I should be and want to be doing," says John Rich. "When we first came out we were like a splash of red paint on a white wall and it literally scared everybody. I'd like 2007 to be a pivotal year when I look back on it. — to say it is the year we went into overdrive. I really think we have music, the talent and the energy to do it. God's given us the opportunity to do it and we're going to take advantage of it."

"Big & Rich: Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace" premieres June 2 at 9 p.m. ET with encore airings on June 3 at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET. Check in with GACTV.com for additional information.
