Little Big Town kick off their tour Saturday (November 8th) in Youngstown, Ohio, and they’re taking along special guests Brett Eldredge and Brothers Osborne. The 13-city trek follows up the release of the band’s Pain Killer album and their third consecutive win for CMA Vocal Group of the Year. The band is really excited to hit the road with both Brett and TJ and John Osborne.

“Brett Eldredge, he’s killing it right now, having some big hits. We did some shows with him with Keith a few months ago, and he’s got great charisma on stage. He’s a great entertainer, so we’re excited about that,” says LBT’s Jimi Westbrook. “I’ve been a fan of Brothers Osborne since, gosh, I think we did the label show back when Tornado was coming out, and we heard them play with just an acoustic guitar and were just blown away. They’re the real deal; super talented guys, and I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun out on the road.”

The tour is not going to be all fun and games for them – they do plan on getting in a little workout time with their two special guests, as well.

The good thing is we like to all play basketball, so we’ll stay in shape too,” says Phillip Sweet.
