Little Big Town realized a full circle moment when they took to the stage to perform “Elvira” with the Oak Ridge Boys during this year’s CMA Music Fest.
“I saw the Oak Ridge Boys – it was my very first concert as a little girl in Maryville, Indiana at the Star Amphitheater, I think they call it, and they’ve been playing there ever since,” says Karen Fairchild. “It’s such a full circle moment for me, standing in front of that stadium crowd last night and singing ‘Elvira.’ I just love them. Their hearts, they have the most generous, kind, beautiful hearts, and we can only hope and pray to have long careers like them.”
Little Big Town have returned as hosts for CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock for the third year. The special is scheduled to air August 4th at 8pm ET on ABC.
The band is currently climbing the charts with “Girl Crush,” their latest single from Pain Killer.

PHILLIP: “It was like a boyhood dream come true. It was amazing, and we were having so much fun. It was like time stood still up there, and they’re so great and so sweet to us and they care so much, and they know all about, they followed us and they talked to us. Love this band, and they’re sweet human beings, you know?” KAREN: “I saw the Oak Ridge Boys – it was my very first concert as a little girl in Maryville, Indiana at the Star Amphitheater, I think they call it, and they’ve been playing there ever since. It’s such a full circle moment for me, standing in front of that stadium crowd last night and singing ‘Elvira.’ I just love them.
