William Kenneth Alphin (born in Culpeper, Virginia on November 1, 1963) is an American country music singer, known professionally as Big Kenny. He is a member of the American country music duo Big & Rich, which also comprises John Rich. Together, Big & Rich have recorded three studio albums for Warner Bros. Records, and have charted several singles on the Hot Country Songs charts. Alphin also recorded a solo album in 1999 titled Live a Little, although it was not released until 2005.
Personal life
On January 23, 2005, he married Christiev Carothers. She has two sons from a previous marriage: Christopher Carothers, Cameron Carothers, and together they have one son, Lincoln William Holiday Alphin, born on November 2, 2005.
In addition to several of Big & Rich's singles, he has co-written "Here for the Party" by Gretchen Wilson, "Hicktown" and "Amarillo Sky" for Jason Aldean (the latter of which was previously recorded by McBride & the Ride), and "Last Dollar (Fly Away)" for Tim McGraw. All songs were co-written with John Rich except "Last Dollar," in which Big Kenny was the sole writer.
In October 2007, Big Kenny traveled to Darfur, Sudan to deliver medical and educational supplies[1]. He took hiatus from Big & Rich in 2008 for rehab of a neck injury that occurred when he was hit by a drunk driver in 2001. However, he has still been heavily involved in the planning and raising of funds for a return trip to Sudan in early 2009.
Later in 2009, Big Kenny launched his official online community at www.bigkenny.tv[2]. The site and community is where friends and fans of Big Kenny get the latest news, photos and can go behind the scenes with Big Kenny as he creates new music and art. His first solo single, "Long After I'm Gone", was released in June 2009.
