Both Simple Minds and Big Country were top-selling international acts with #1 hits in the U.S. and Big Country won 2 Grammy awards and the two bands combined for over 40,000,000 records sold world-wide! Big Country's biggest hit, "In a Big Country" has just last week begun a run as the music for Kohl's Department stores national TV campaign! They just finished four tracks (masters) a few weeks ago at Foundry Music Lab in Scotland.

Their live show (they've done a few shows in the UK already this summer - big outdoor gigs) and new original songs have been getting a phenomenal response so far! The live show features all their new original stuff plus a selection of songs from the bands they helped form or played in such as Simple Minds' "Don't You Forget About Me", Waterfront", "Love Song" and "Someone Somewhere in Summertime" and Big Country's "In a Big Country", "Fields of Fire" and "Chance". FourGoodMen are doing a short North American tour to introduce them here.
