LITTLE BIG TOWN: Grammy-winning country group, Little Big Town-consisting of members Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman and Jimi Westbrook-entered the music scene over 13 years ago with hits such as “Boondocks,” “Bring It On Home” and “Little White Church.” The group’s fifth studio album Tornado was released in the fall of 2012 and includes 2x platinum-selling #1 hit “Pontoon” and album title-track “Tornado” which also peaked in the #1 spot. Collectively, the group has earned over 25 award show nominations and has taken home the award for ACM Top New Vocal Group, CMA Single of the Year (“Pontoon”), CMA Vocal Group of the Year and a Grammy Award for Best Country Group/Duo Performance (“Pontoon”).
DUSTIN LYNCH: Since the release of his debut single, “Cowboys and Angels,” Broken Bow Records’ Dustin Lynch has earned a #1 album, over a million single sales and has surpassed 7 million views on YouTube/ VEVO. He’s soared to #1 on the MTV Music Meter, earned a #1 ringtone on CMT, a Top 5 on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs Chart, a Top 3 Country radio single and was lauded by People magazine as “one of the best debuts of 2012.” Dustin’s follow-up, the Top 20 double-entendre head turner, “She Cranks My Tractor,” continues to catapult up the Country Radio charts.

AUDIO: Keith Urban says he owes his career to his fans.
Keith Urban (Owes It to the Fans) OC: …long soundcheck. :28
“The life that I have is because of them. It’s that simple. I mean, everything that I have in this life that I is, I come from nothing, very, very working class family. And I’ve been blessed with this extraordinary life, and it’s the fans and it’s the audiences that like the music and come to the concerts. I mean, that’s just changed my life, and without them it’s just one big long soundcheck.”
