Rich was a judge on the network version of the American
Idol-style show last summer, which was hosted by Billy Ray Cyrus.

John Rich is proud of his role as one of the most visible and well-known entertainers at the Republican National Convention this week.
"I'm a young conservative guy and there aren't many of us around," Rich, half of the duo Big & Rich, said before performing his political anthem, "Raisin' McCain," at a benefit for Red Cross Hurricane Relief on Monday night.
Rich, 34, has been campaigning with John McCain and plans to continue through the November election. "I'm very deliberately trying to be out there with my ideas and my music," Rich says. "I respect McCain for his heroism over the years. He stands for the things I value and there aren't many young conservatives like me who make it into the media, so I'm trying to do my part."
