Formed in 2006 by longtime friends from Augusta, GA, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood and Nashville native Hillary Scott after a chance meeting at a downtown music City watering hole, Lady Antebellum blend contemporary country with soulful ’60s rhythm & blues into an infectious modern brew that relies on the trio’s rich harmonies and impeccable instrumental skills. Since its inception, the trio has gone from dive bars to the Grand Ole Opry, opening for Phil Vassar, Rodney Atkins, and Carrie Underwood. The band signed with Capitol Nashville in 2007 and released its first single, “Love Don’t Live Here.” Lady Antebellum’s eponymous Victoria Shaw and Paul Worley-produced full-length debut came in April 2008.
