Posted by TawnyTucker on September 2nd, 2010

Okay, so last night was CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock!!!  What did y’all think??  Who ROCKED your night???  Maybe it was Miranda Lambert??  Or maybe Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Zac Brown Band, or Keith Urban nabbed the favorite spot in your heart…We want to know what you thought of the 3 hour special last night on ABC!  Leave us your comments!

My personal favorite was Keith Urban (obviously)…I mean, what a way to kick-off the show.  I also enjoyed the behind-the-scenes footage of Taylor Swift’s 13 (actually 14.5) hour meet n’ greet.  Say what you will about the girl, NO ONE can top her fan interaction and appreciation.  I actually get teary watching her with her fans. I also wish Martina McBride would’ve gotten  more air time.  The lady had a sold-out stadium in awed-silence then brought them to their feet in an amazing standing ovation…

Who were your favorites? Least favorites?  Who left you wanting more???  Did you make you excited to make the trip to Nashville next summer??  If you just have to be in the midst of all the action next year; it’s never to early to get your tickets!  Click here to get your tickets to the 2011 CMA Music Festival!  You really don’t wanna miss it!

How David Nail Met Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum

Posted by Country Girl on August 30th, 2010

David Nail is hitting the road with Lady Antebellum this fall and the story behind how they met is pretty funny.

The Daily Dunklin got the scoop on how David first hit it off with Hillary:

“I’ve known those guys for years,” Nail said. “I first met Hillary [Scott] downtown one Sunday night. I really had no clue who she was. I saw her sitting in with the house band somewhere and I immediately called the head of the [recording] staff at my record label and told him that if he was smart, he would come down and see this girl and I thought she was a superstar.

“I had never done anything like that before so I feel like he kind of thought maybe it was pretty important. So he did [come to the location] and he immediately walked through the door and called me an idiot and said, ‘That is Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum.’”

Nail said he had began to hear some of the hype about the group and he introduced himself to Scott.

“We became really good friends right away,” Nail said. “She is quite possibly the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. I’ve had the privilege to get to know the other guys in the band since then. So I guess there has always be that friendship there first and foremost. They are arguably one of the most successful acts in music, period. Not just country music.

They kind of decided to embark on a headlining tour of their own this fall and when it came time to pick an opening act, I guess they not only probably like me as a person, but liked what I do musically and it fit in with what they do. So I think that it was somewhat of a natural pairing.”

Nail said the tour will consist of 32-dates.

Lady Antebellum Claims 3 Spots on Billboard

Posted by TawnyTucker on August 25th, 2010

Lady Antebellum scored three spots in the Top 10 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart this week as their two albums Need You Now and Lady Antebellum were joined by the group’s newly released “iTunes Session” at the top. Lady A’s “iTunes Session” landed the biggest week’s sales of any iTunes “Session,” “Live From…” or “Originals” ever released. This week their current single “Our Kind Of Love” works its way into the Top five on the country radio charts.

Lady Antebellum is the hottest thing in country music right now, and I have a feeling they are just getting started.

Lady Antebellum – Taking It All In, Or Not

Posted by Country Girl on August 22nd, 2010

For Hillary Scott, the time it’s taken for Lady Antebellum to achieve their wild success “seems like a minute and it seems like a lifetime.” She says with the pace of their lives right now, she doesn’t “think it’s really possible to process it.”

Hillary says, in a way, that’s kind of good. She says “once you start letting every single thing sink in” you could, as her mom says, “start to get ‘the big head.”‘

Fans can catch the group on the road this Fall for their first ever headlining tour – the NEED YOU NOW TOUR 2010. For a full list of tour dates and media appearances, visit www.ladyantebellum.com.
