One half of Trailer Choir, "Big Vinny" Hickerson, is now a dad!

The country music world is still reeling over the tragic death of Montgomery Gentry's Troy Gentry. Big Vinny of Trailer Choir not only shared a record label with Troy but the stage as well and he says he's still in disbelief

Congratulations to Trailer Choir's Big Vinny who is engaged. He dropped to one knee on stage at a concert in Ft Meyers Florida and Jenny Goforth said yes.

Is The Biggest Loser the biggest lie? Several former contestants are making accusations against the show, telling the New York Post they were given illegal weight loss drugs and told to starving themselves. But Big Vinny says that's the lie.

Trailer Choir's Big Vinny has a new lease on life since losing almost 250 pounds on The Biggest Loser, but the changes are coming with a price. He and his significant other Lori Diaz have gone their separate ways. We sat down with Vinny for an exclusive interview to discuss the split and what the future holds.

A wise man once said, perception is reality. Reality for former Biggest Loser contestant Kai Hibbard is, the show is mistreating contestants. Trailer Choir's Big Vinny, who appeared on season 12, perceives it quite differently.

How many times have your kids brought home something to sell that raises funds for a worthy cause?  Candy bars for the sports team, boxes of chocolates for a school trip, popcorn for the music department, before you know it your hawking more stuff at work than a door-to-door salesman.  When it kept happening at the home of Trailer Choir's, Big Vinny, he came up with an idea: 'Music With A Mission.

Who's ready to 'Rock the Beer Gut?'  Trailer Choir returns to the Wild West FrogFest & Rodeo stage with Whites Farm Supply. Vinny and Butter are pumped about it. 'We're so excited. One of the best memories we've ever had twice. We love coming up there and hanging out with you all.'

It's been almost two years since Trailer Choir's Big Vinny was on the Biggest Loser, but how's he doing today?  I checked in with one of our favorite FrogFest guests and he's not only kept the weight off, he's training for something new.

Want to go behind the scene of Big Vinny Hickerson's wedding? Now is your chance.  Watch Vinny and Lori's special day, including the vows they exchanged, the song he wrote for Lori while on The Biggest Loser and the moment when he gets to 'kiss his bride.'

How did you spend your weekend?  Big Vinny, a former Biggest Loser contestant and former Trailer Choir member, spent his pulling plane. He teamed up with 9 other people to pull a 18,000 pound plane for charity.  They came in second place, losing by just one second.

By now you've heard and seen 'Gangnam Style,' the most watched video on YouTube history.  There are so many parodies of Psy's song on the internet, but none like this.  Big Vinny Hickerson, formerly of Trailer Choir, put a country spin on the hit song to show everyone what 'Nashville Style' is.  Check it out.
