Lady Antebellum: Biography
Lady Antebellum was founded in 2006 in the city of Augusta, Georgia by Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott, and Dave Haywood. Hillary is the daughter of 1990s country music artist Linda Davis, while Charles (who had previously recorded two solo pop albums) is the brother of 2000s pop artist Josh Kelley. They made the rounds in Atlanta playing at various venues; eventually, adult contemporary artist Jim Brickman chose the trio to sing on his 2007 single "Never Alone", a #14 hit on the Billboard adult contemporary charts. The trio also wrote a song for the MTV reality television series "The Hills".
Eventually, Lady Antebellum was discovered by Capitol Records' Nashville division, who signed them to a recording contract in 2007. Their single "Love Don't Live Here" was released in September of that year, with a music video for the song following in December. "Love Don't Live Here" is the lead-off single to the band's forthcoming self-titled debut album; slated for release on April 15, 2008, it will be produced by Paul Worley. In addition, Lady Antebellum has been signed as an opening act on Martina McBride's Waking Up Laughing Tour in 2008. |
