Description: Little Big Town is an American country music vocal group. Founded in 1998, the group has comprised the same four members since its inception: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook, and Phillip Sweet. The quartet's musical style relies heavily on four-part vocal harmonies, with all four members alternating as lead singers. Westbrook and Sweet also play rhythm guitar. Little Big Town's first record deal was with Mercury Nashville Records. The quartet did not release any singles or albums on the label. In 2001, Little Big Town sang backing vocals on Collin Raye's album Can't Back Down. A second contract, this time Little Big Town is an American country music vocal group.

Little Big Town's first record deal was with Mercury Nashville Records. The quartet did not release any singles or albums on the label. In 2001, Little Big Town sang backing vocals on Collin Raye's album Can't Back Down.

A second contract, this time with Monument Records Nashville, began in 2002. The band's first album, Little Big Town, was released that year. It produced the singles "Don't Waste My Time" and "Everything Changes", which respectively peaked at number 33 and number 42 on the US Billboard country charts. Westbrook's father died in 2002, just after the group's first album was released. Fairchild and Sweet both divorced their respective spouses shortly afterward, and the group exited Monument when the label's Nashville branch was dissolved. The four members all took up day jobs to earn additional money, although they continued to tour as well.

In 2005, Little Big Town was signed to Equity Music Group, a label started and partially owned by country music singer Clint Black. Their third single, "Boondocks", was released in May, peaking at number nine in January 2006. "Boondocks" served as the first of four singles from the group's second album, The Road to Here, which was released on October 4, 2005. "Bring It On Home," the second single from the album, became Little Big Town's first Top 5 hit on the Hot Country Songs chart. It was followed by "Good as Gone" and "A Little More You", both of which were Top 20 hits. By the end of 2006, The Road to Here had been certified Platinum in the United States. Unlike their first album, the group's members co-wrote the majority of the songs on The Road to Here along with producer Wayne Kirkpatrick.

Little Big Town released A Place to Land, their third studio album and second with Equity, on November 6, 2007. Its lead-off single, "I'm with the Band," peaked at number 32 on the country charts. On April 23, 2008, Little Big Town announced it was leaving Equity for Capitol Nashville. Shortly afterward, they charted along with Sugarland and Jake Owen on a live cover of The Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town". This live recording, taken from Sugarland's 2007 tour, reached number 28 on the country charts based on unsolicited airplay. In October 2008, Capitol re-released A Place to Land, which added four new songs, and the label promoted two further singles from the album in "Fine Line" and "Good Lord Willing."

In the fall of 2008, Little Big Town opened up for Carrie Underwood on her Carnival Ride Tour to support the album, before starting their first headlining tour in 2009. Their tour began in January in Jacksonville, Florida and continued through April.

Fairchild recorded a duet with John Mellencamp on his 2008 album, Life, Death, Love and Freedom. The song, "A Ride Back Home," was released as the album's third single and is accompanied by a music video. Fairchild also duets with Mellencamp on "My Sweet Love" and appears in its music video, from the same album.

Little Big Town was nominated for Vocal Group Of The Year for the fourth year in a row on the 2009 CMA Awards.

In March 2010, the group released a new single titled "Little White Church", as the lead-off single to their fourth studio album and first completely new album on Capitol Nashville, The Reason Why, which was released on August 24, 2010. "Little White Church" has become their first Top 10 hit since "Bring It on Home" in 2006. The album produced two additional singles in "Kiss Goodbye" and the title track, but both failed to reach the Top 40 and peaked at number 42 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

The album's title track was released as a digital single on July 27, 2010, to begin an iTunes countdown to the album release on August 24, 2010. Three further digital singles "Kiss Goodbye", "Why, Oh Why", and "All the Way Down" were released weekly leading up until the album release. Also, in promotion of The Reason Why, Little Big Town went on tour as an opening act for Sugarland on The Incredible Machine Tour, as well their own The Reason Why Tour.

Little Big Town's fifth studio album, Tornado, was released on September 11, 2012. "Pontoon" was released as the album's lead single on April 30, 2012, and became their first Number One hit on the Hot Country Songs chart in September 2012. It also was Little Big Town's strongest showing on the Hot 100, and their first single to receive a Platinum certification. The title track was released as the album's second single on October 1, 2012. The song debuted at number 47 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart one week before impact.

The band joined Rascal Flatts on their Changed Tour, along with Eli Young Band and Edens Edge, for dates spanning summer 2012. ... (more)
