Country sensation “Little Big Town” will be performing in concert on Adrian College’s campus March 18, 2008 with ‘Zac Brown Band’ opening the show.
“Little Big Town” has gained immeasurable popularity over the past three years. Their second album, “The Road to Here”, was released in 2005. Certified platinum in the U.S., it produced consecutive Top Ten singles on the country charts in "Boondocks" and "Bring It On Home.”
The band released their third album in November 2007. “Little Big Town” believes fiercely in the music on this new album entitled “A Place to Land”, so when a change of record label left it in limbo shortly after its release, they didn’t give up on it. Now that Westbrook and band mates Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman and Phillip Sweet have found a new home at Capitol Records Nashville, Little Big Town’s faith in “A Place to Land” has been rewarded with a new life.
“We want the world to hear this music,” Georgia native Schlapman says. “It’s our heart and soul. It’s who we are, and we put so much of ourselves into it. It’s how we tell the story of our lives.”
This isn’t the album plenty of Little Big Town fans already know and love—it’s much more. Three brand-new studio tracks demonstrate the group’s continuing growth and evolution, while “Life in a Northern Town,” the hit live collaboration with tour mates Sugarland and Jake Owen, captures its onstage sizzle.
The concert will take place in the Multi Sports and Fitness Complex. Advanced ticket sales for students will take place on February 2, 2009. Each student is entitled to one free ticket. Tickets for faculty and staff will be $15, and $25 for the general public. More information to follow.
