Artist Information

The four voices of bandmates Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet combine to create Little Big Town. The group's members can truly say that for them, it all began at the Grand Ole Opry. For it was on the Opry stage in 1999 that Little Big Town made its very first public appearance as a band, having gained recognition from executives in the Nashville music industry who were convinced the group was ready for country's most famous stage.

Fast forward a few years, and the band was enjoying success with albums as well as singles including "Boondocks," "Bring It On Home," "A Little More You," and “Little White Church.” Along the way came numerous Opry guest appearances and Vocal Group of the Year nominations from the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, and others.

Then came a song about kicking back on a “Pontoon” and the band’s career was forever changed. The song went to No. 1, earned a CMA Single of the Year award and other honors, and propelled the group to its first-ever CMA Vocal Group win.

Little Big Town

Country Music Band

When it comes to country music bands, Little Big Town offered an innovative slant on a familiar form. Like the pop group Fleetwood Mac, two of the group's members were female, two male. Furthermore, each member served dual vocal roles, fully capable of handling the lead but also capable of creating rich harmony blends with one another. The road to success, however, proved to be a difficult one for Little Big Town. The band experienced a number of business crises with its first two labels, an artistically unsatisfying debut, and several personal issues that threatened to derail the group before its career had properly started. But Little Big Town persevered despite the odds, eventually recording an album that won both critical and popular acceptance, transforming the band into one of the hottest country acts of 2006.

Little Big Town built its sound from the roots of country music and enriched it with lush, four-part harmony. "Here's the best two-man, two-woman four-part harmony group in country music," wrote Howard Cohen in the Miami Herald

Little Big Town

American country group

Little Big Town is an American country music vocal group from Homewood, Alabama. Founded in 1998, the group has had the same four members since its founding: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman (née Roads), Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook. Fairchild and Westbrook have been married to each other since 2006. Little Big Town's musical style relies heavily on four-part vocal harmonies, with all four members alternating as lead vocalists.

After a recording deal with the Mercury Nashville Records label which produced no singles or albums, Little Big Town released its self-titled debut on Monument Records in 2002. It produced two minor country chart singles before the group left the label. In 2005, the group signed to Equity Music Group, an independent record label owned by Clint Black. Their second album, The Road to Here, was released that year, and received a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). A Place to Land, their third album, was released via Equity, then re-released via Capitol Nash
