Oliver Anthony said he's trading the music industry for ministry.
In a YouTube video posted on Oct. 29, he noted that his grandfather was a traveling minister and said, “My plan is to change my entire focus to traveling ministry work.” He also added, “I want to create a routing schedule to exist parallel to Nashville that circumvents the monopoly of Live Nation and Ticketmaster, and goes into towns that haven’t had music in them in a long time. “Rich Men North of Richmond” first went viral in August 2023, when a video of Oliver Anthony Music (real name Chris Lunsford) performing the song was posted on the YouTube channel for Radiowv. In August 2023, Oliver Anthony Music said in a Facebook post, “‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ is about corporate-owned D.C. politicians on both sides.”
