New Big Kenny Release Offers Flower Power

You can pre-order the new release from Big Kenny (half the duo Big & Rich) Glotown, The Quiet Times of a Rock and Roll Farm Boy at Big Kenny and receive an instant download of the unreleased track “One More Time”, the Blackfoot Confederacy “Wake Up” chant, as well as the “Long After I’m Gone” video, and get a chance to win Big Kenny’s ‘Top Hat’.  The site is offering several unique packages to purchase. 

The physical packaging of the release is full of “flower power” as the packaging is made of 100% compostable materials including a variety of Big Kenny’s favorite perennial wild flowers. 

Big Kenny says, “I grew up in Culpepper, VA on a farm where we worked endless hours tilling the land, planting seeds of variety to make a living and to help people sustain.  I have always wanted to do this with my music and I feel the ‘the whole experience’ from the audio and visual side brings more impact and can connect the fan to the music.  What better way to do this than provide a beautiful display of wild flowers that grew out of music?  I can’t wait to see the impetus of music create a global display of flower power. The power of music is so strong and with that as the seed, we just don’t know what kind of garden we will create.”

In the accompanying videos, Big Kenny explains how to plant your “musical garden”.  Please visit http://www.bigkenny.tv/preorder for unique and playful descriptions on how to share the love of music through an eco-friendly sensibility.

ABOUT THE PACKAGING:
The packaging is a partnership between Glotown/Love Everybody/Bigger Picture and Molded Fiber, a UFP Technologies brand.  Since 1991, Molded Fiber has specialized in the design and production of packaging from recycled material. Although the demand for recycled packaging has been growing for years, it is only recently that manufacturing techniques and innovative design ideas have led to the ability to embed seeds in both fold up cartons and traditional molded parts. Special designs also allow for the production of cartons that can fold without the use of glues. Combine this feature with seeds and you have a truly closed loop recycled package that returns to the Earth and sprouts flowers or plants.

Within 2-3 weeks, flowers should germinate!  Flowers are a mixture of: Cornflower Dwarf, Siberian Wallflower, Farewell to Spring Dwarf, Chinese Houses, Dwarf Lance Leaf Coreopsis, Dwarf Plains Coreopsis, Chinese Forget Me Not, Sweet Williams, African Daisy, California Poppy, Annual Baby's Breath, Candytuft, Blue Flax, Alyssum, Baby Blue Eyes, California Bluebells & Catchfly.  This formula is specifically designed so that flowers return year after year.

Also an accomplished songwriter, Big Kenny was named the BMI Songwriter of the Year in 2005, and has written several top 10 hits for artists such as Tim McGraw ("Last Dollar Fly Away"), Gretchen Wilson ("Here For The Party") and Jason Aldean ("Hicktown" and "Amarillo Sky").  Big Kenny's philanthropic efforts extend to the Southern region of Sudan, where he helped build the Kunyuk School for Girls in Akon in 2008, and to the American Appalachians, where he works to end mountaintop removal coal mining.  His Love Everybody is a fledgling foundation that is generating good will throughout the community.
