The country music band Big & Rich will headline an inaugural gala this month for President-elect Donald Trump
Republican Party of New York and Great Alliance America announced Tuesday that the country band would perform at the event.
"We're thrilled to be performing in our nation's capital during this historic moment in time," John Rich, of Big & Rich, said in a statement, according to The Washington Examiner.
"A presidential inauguration is a uniquely American event, so we are honored to be a part of it and hope to help make it a memorable event."
Rich won season 11 of NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice." The president-elect hosted the television reality show for several seasons.
The gala will be held Jan. 19, the night before Trump's inauguration. It is not yet known if the president-elect will attend.
Eric Beach, co-chairman of Great America Alliance, said in a statement that it is "proud to have been a part of this extraordinary movement."
"We look forward to celebrating with the many people that contributed to his historic victory," Beach said in a statement.

They should rename themselves “Bigly and Rich” for one night. :)
LOL!! Good idea :-)
Trump should have Hank Williams JR sing “ All My Deplorable Friends are Coming Over Tonight”
I can see these guys doing it, they’re just rebel enough.
I played Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy in a band in north Louisiana. Fun song.
Never knew much about them until I saw an interview on Audio channel, two entirely different guys, who mesh together as musicians better than I would have ever thought. But both have that screw you attitude that made them flip the finger at the music pros and get together anyway, and it worked.
I’m not a huge fan, but kudos to them for taking the gig. They do have an excellent band though, all those guys are killer musicians.
I’m wondering why Ted Nugent is not on the list...
Big Kenny is from my home county... Culpeper Virginia
I couldn’t be prouder!
I always said that “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” was the theme song for the US Marshals......love, love that song!! (PS: I retired from the USMS so I can say that....LOL)
Great!
I think Ted is supposed to be a surprise.
