Mr. Anthony took the stage at the Eagle Creek Golf Club and Grill in Moyock, North Carolina, on Saturday for a free show that drew an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 attendees, according to Billboard. The singer kicked off his performance with crowd favorites like “I Want to Go Home” and “I Gotta Get Sober” before launching into the chart-topping sensation “Rich Men North of Richmond.”

Reflecting American Society, Rejecting Million-Dollar Offers
“Rich Men” is more than just a catchy tune for blue-collar workers, according to Mr. Anthony. The song serves as a poignant critique of Washington politicians and sheds light on the struggles faced by everyday Americans. In its lyrics, he addresses pressing issues such as cancel culture, the surveillance state, and high taxes.
Conservative media personality Jack Posobiec praised the song’s anti-establishment message, stating, “The anti-establishment message is gaining traction right now, and explains the dynamic we see in the GOP primary where career politicians are struggling against outsiders.”
During an interview with Fox News at the event, Mr. Anthony expressed his belief that “Rich Men North of Richmond” has resonated with people worldwide due to the prevailing sense of suffering and hopelessness in the world. He emphasized the importance of finding positivity in a world filled with negativity and expressed gratitude for the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom.
The singer’s meteoric rise to fame began when “Rich Men” went viral, amassing millions of views on the Radiowv YouTube channel. The song has already crossed the 30 million views mark and claimed the top spot on the Top 100 USA Apple Music chart as of August 21. It also secured the second position on Spotify’s Top 50-USA playlist.
At the event, attendees showered Mr. Anthony with praise, recognizing his courage to speak the truth through his music. One attendee told Fox News, “Nobody wants to hear the truth and here we have somebody who’s going to speak it.”
In a heartfelt Facebook post, the singer, whose real name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford, revealed that he has turned down lucrative offers worth million from the music industry. He expressed his desire to stay true to his music and connect with people on a deep level, without the interference of agents or the trappings of fame.
Mr. Anthony’s performance in North Carolina was a testament to the power of music to unite and inspire.
