LADY ANTEBELLUM CELEBRATE THE CHART-TOPPING SUCCESS OF BARTENDER. (AUDIO)

Lady Antebellum threw a costume party at a new Nashville hotspot, City Winery, to celebrate the recent No. 1 success of their single “Bartender” in Nashville on Wednesday (October 29th). After speaking with the media, the trio donned some alcohol-inspired costumes and performed their chart-topping hit, along with co-writer Rodney Clawson.

“We thought with the No. 1 party being so close to Halloween, we might as well keep it loose and fun,” says Lady A’s Hillary Scott. “We’ve been known to dress up when we’ve had shows on Halloween anyway. Charles was Ronnie Dunn, Dave was Kix Brooks (Brooks & Dunn) and I was Reba one year, so we love to have fun with that.”

Adds Dave Haywood, ““It’s close to Halloween, and it’s a bar themed day, so we thought a couple alcohol-inspired costumes for this year for us.”

Lady A has stormed the country charts with their latest single, “Freestyle.,” and just released the video for the tune on Wednesday.

You can catch Lady Antebellum performing during next week’s CMA Awards, where they’re up for Vocal Group of the Year and Music Video of the Year for “Bartender.”

“This one for sure we were so excited about it, it was the first time we’d ever written with Rodney our co-writer and it was, I don’t know I think after you know taking a little bit of a break coming back with playing a tour, going out on tour writing on that tour and then having the first single just do so well it was just a big pat on the back I think and encouragement that we were headed in the right direction for the rest of the record. So, this one is very sweet for sure.”
