LADY ANTEBELLUM TOUR WITH ONE MEMBER'S 'BIGGEST' INFLUENCE


Lady Antebellum continue their Own The Night tour tonight (Wednesday, February 22nd) with a show in their adopted hometown of Nashville. The trek includes opening act Thompson Square along with special guest Darius Rucker.

Having Darius out with them is nothing short of a dream come true, as Charles Kelley tells us: "Darius is a close, close buddy, labelmate. He's just amazing. (Hillary) Well, one of your biggest influences. (Charles) Yeah, he is. I've got a video. Oh man, we should find a way to put that in the show. I've got a video of me singing 'Hold My Hand.' (I was) probably 10 years old. It's pretty awesome (laughter), so he's just awesome. I think having a guy like that, too, we wanted a really solid act to, one, have a lot of fun out there with, and to help us sell tickets. He's a big time act. He could go out and headline on his own, and so that meant a lot that he wanted to come on board and be a part of this, and he's no doubt been a huge reason we're having great ticket sales this year."

Lady Antebellum is featured on the Act of Valor movie soundtrack, which is in stores this week. The movie opens in theaters on Friday (February 24th).
