MuzikMafia

The MuzikMafia was an informal collection of American country music artists, founded in October 2001 in Nashville, Tennessee by Big Kenny and John Rich[1] (who compose the duo Big & Rich[2]), along with Jon Nicholson and Cory Gierman.[3] They have been the subject of a six-episode television series on the network Country Music Television,[4] entitled MuzikMafia TV, which followed the Muzik Mafia on their first stadium tour, the American Revolution Tour.

The original MuzikMafia[5] was born from an open mic night in Nashville. While they aren't official members, people who have performed at the MuzikMafia jams include Kid Rock, 3 Doors Down, Velvet Revolver, Bon Jovi, Stephen Cochran, Jewel, Bobby Brown, Sisqo, and Saliva.
