“We can’t wait for our first big headlining tour in arenas,” said Hillary Scott. “We hope to create a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience and make some really special memories with our fans.”

The trio’s live show has earned glowing reviews from critics across the country.

“And Lady A’s three core members — along with a dynamite five-piece band, squeezed every ounce of hand-clapping, chorus-singing energy out of the crowd.” Seattle Times

“They’re personable, energetic, and best of all, they can sing.” Dallas Morning News

Lady A’s record breaking third disc OWN THE NIGHT debuted at the No. one position on Billboard’s Top 200 chart in October, becoming the biggest first week debut by a country artist last year. The album has already produced two No. one singles—“Just A Kiss” and “We Owned The Night”. The band has now tallied six No. one hits since its debut in 2007. The current single, “Dancing Away With My Heart”, is now climbing the country charts. The trio’s previous two albums, “Lady Antebellum” and “Need You Now”, have sold over five million albums across the globe, spawned four No. one hits, scored six GRAMMYs and over a dozen other award show trophies.

The group won Vocal Group of the Year at the 45th Annual CMA Awards, Favorite Country Band, Duo or Group for the 2011 American Music Awards and was honored as one CMT’s five Artists of the Year for 2011. Additionally, the group received a 2012 Grammy nomination for Country Album Of The Year.

Darius Rucker has again topped the charts with the release of his sophomore country album, CHARLESTON, SC 1966, on Capitol Records Nashville. Since it’s October 2010 debut, the album has garnered two No. one hits with “Come Back Song” and “This.” His chart-topping 2008 debut release, LEARN TO LIVE, produced three consecutive No. one singles and Top Five smash, “History In The Making.” In addition to country music, Darius offers much of his time to charitable efforts benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Hootie & The Blowfish Foundation, and many others.

One of Country music’s biggest breakout acts of 2011, Stoney Creek Records’ Thompson Square, earned 12 major awards show nominations in 2011. The husband-and-wife’s infectious hit single, “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not,” reached the coveted No. one spot on both Country radio charts and has sold 1.5 million downloads to-date. The single was also the most played song of 2011 on Country radio (according to Mediabase) and is nominated for a 2012 GRAMMY for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
