In a message to Trump, Tim Burchett says he will lead the charge to round up talent to perform at Freedom 250 after most artists canceled. He suggests Kid Rock, John Rich, Lee Greenwood as well as some random bands from Nashville.

(10,546 posts)He just cut ticket prices in half because nobody bought any, and they're still not selling. Lee Greenwood hasn't had a record hit even the Country charts in 25 years. There is literally nobody who wants to see Lee Greenwood perform. John Rich is the less talented half of country duo Big & Rich. His partner Big Kenny is not MAGA and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. Again, I can't imagine anyone excited for John Rich. If thats the best they can do, they'll be lucky to attract 1,000 people.
