About Little Big Town
Critically acclaimed platinum-selling group Little Big Town—consisting of members Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, and Jimi Westbrook—first entered the music scene over 12 years ago with hits such as “Boondocks,” “Bring It On Home,” and “Good As Gone,” but it is their fourth studio album and recent chart-topping release on Capitol Records Nashville, "The Reason Why," that really has people talking. The Dallas Morning News' Mario Tarradell writes, "There's so much vibrant authenticity and heart in Little Big Town's sound." Collectively, the group has earned eight ACM nominations, eight CMA Awards nominations, and, as of late, their fourth Grammy nomination. Currently on tour nationwide, fans can hear their Grammy nominated top Billboard hit “Little White Church” as well as new single, “The Reason Why,” by visiting www.littlebigtown.com.
