Save A Horse, Ride A Parachute! Big Kenny Photo of the Day

Big Kenny made quite the entrance as he and his skydiving partner parachute into the Nashville Xtreme Muzik The Tour date.

Proceeds from Nashville’s Xtreme Muzik The Tour and Operation Finally Home will fund construction of a new home for Air Force veteran Shaun Meadows, who lost his legs in 2008 during a combat reconnaissance patrol in Afghanistan. Co-headliners Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson and local news anchor Jonathan Martin surprised the Meadows family mid-concert and announced that Goodall Homes and LP Building Products will start building the house in November. An Air Force Color Guard and a Jimi Hendrix-style National Anthem welcomed the family to the stage. Follow the build and learn more at FinallyHomeTN.com.
