Nashville, TN – March 9, 2015 – From the European leg of their headlining WHEELS UP 2015 TOUR, ACM “Vocal Group of the Year” nominee Lady Antebellum is releasing the up-tempo “Long Stretch Of Love” as the new single from their fifth studio album 747. With it’s hypnotically driving beat and Celtic-inspired instrumentation, the new track has already hit airwaves and arenas across Europe but is officially available at Country Radio in the US today.

Written by the trio and Josh Kear, “Long Stretch of Love” has already resonated with critics, being hailed a “crisp, pulsating track that highlights Lady A’s knack for memorable song structure” (Billboard) and a “swirling rock opener with a Fleetwood Mac vibe” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).

“‘Long Stretch Of Love’ sounds like we feel right now…it’s bold, upbeat and fresh,” said Lady A’s Hillary Scott. “It’s the perfect song to go into a new tour with…in fact, we should kick our set off with it every night!”

“What really makes this song special and different to me is how we used an uncommon instrument called a Woodrow, which brings an Appalachian feel into this high energy track,” said 747 producer Nathan Chapman.  “That unique sound combined with their vocals— which may be the most powerful Lady A has ever sounded— it just leaves the listener breathless.”

The group’s universal appeal continues to resonate with fans and media overseas, prompting critics to proclaim Lady A is “responsibile for pushing country music around the world” (Entertainment Focus) and raving the trio’s live show is “inspiring” with “whopping singalong anthems” (London Evening Standard). Up next, the band will continue to trek across the globe for the Australian leg before returning to the states for their headlining WHEELS UP 2015 TOUR presented by Quicken Loans in time for the 50th Annual ACM Awards airing live from Dallas, TX on April 19th on CBS where they are currently nominated for “Vocal Group of the Year.” The North American leg of their WHEELS UP 2015 TOUR begins May 1 in Lubbock, TX.

The 2015 CMA Music Festival takes place Thursday, June 11-Sunday, June 14 in downtown Nashville. Subscribers to CMA Exclusive, CMA’s e-newsletter, were the first to learn about the star-studded lineup Wednesday morning. “CMA Music Festival is all about the fan experience,” said CMA Chief Executive Officer Sarah Trahern. “Our fans snapped up LP Field tickets at a record pace, and we wanted to reward that loyalty by sharing this exciting lineup with them first this morning.”   While the relationship between artists and fans is the foundation for the event, CMA Music Festival benefits music education programs for children in need. Wednesday morning, Thomas Rhett welcomed guests to Nashville Children’s Theatre for a performance of “Jack’s Tale: A Mythic Mountain Musical,” which was funded by a $10,000 grant from the CMA Foundation from the 2014 CMA Music Festival. Threats of snow in Nashville prevented a majority of students from attending, but he warmly greeted the enthusiastic crowd. “When I was little I was in a play called ‘A Christmas Carol’. I was Scrooge,” Thomas Rhett told the student-filled crowd. “Music education was super important for me, and today was a good reminder of how neat it is to see the Country Music community band together to help give back to that through CMA Fest.” The CMA Foundation presents grants on behalf of the artists who perform at CMA Music Festival each year for free and has donated more than $11 million to music education initiatives across the country since 2006.

It took some of her own preferences and the advice of other “road moms” such as Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman, to make it all work. Now, Hillary is passing on some advice of her own to expectant mom Carrie Underwood.

“She just asked me about like the bus setup, things I would change or things I loved about how we worked the way our bus is laid out for Eisele to sleep on it and be comfortable. It was just a really like honest expectant mom/new mom conversation,” says Hillary. “I was like, ‘If you have any questions I will get into as many details as you want,’ ’cause we’re like really good friends… it’s just nice to have a sounding board to make you feel like you’re not alone. It’s been fun to walk her through the season and she’s just gonna be an amazing mom and Mike (Fisher) a dad. I mean, she’s, she’s wonderful.”

They know stuff from the first record that were just album cuts, and they sing it out loud in a big accent or whatever, and it’s a really cool thing.”
