Very Good Lady A Concert

Lady A Concert Schedule
Lady A (formerly known as "Lady Antebellum") became one of the 21st century's most successful trios thanks to a radio-friendly, harmony-laden sound that effortlessly straddles contemporary country and mainstream pop. The Nashville outfit first hit the road supporting the likes of Martina McBride, Jason Aldean, and Kenny Chesney before embarking on their first headline trek, Need You Now, in 2010. They have continued to wow audiences across the globe ever since, including on world tours such as 2014's Take the Night, 2015's Wheels Up and 2017's You Look Good, where they played famed venues such as the Old National Centre in Indianapolis or Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. Packed with flawless vocals, rich three-part harmonies, and a mixture of No. 1 hits and fan favorites, as well as the odd surprise cover, the Lady Alive show is a visually appealing, toe-tapping, feel-good experience from start to finish.
Lady A Background
Lead vocalists Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott and multi-instrumentalist Dave Heywood first came together in Nashville, Tennessee in 2006. Named after the architectural style that originated in the 19th-century Deep South, Lady A (formerly?known as "Lady Antebellum") began performing on their local circuit before landing a deal with Capitol Records Nashville in 2007. They first came to national attention later that year with U.S. Country Top 3 single "Love Don't Live Here." Their eponymous debut LP arrived in 2008, kickstarting a run of four consecutive chart-toppers on the U.S. Country Album chart, spawning the first of many No. 1 hits, the Grammy-winning "I Run To You," and landing them Vocal Group of the Year at the ACMs. 2009 sophomore Need You Now took the band's career to another level, reaching the top of the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of nearly half-a-million and producing a No. 2 hit on the U.S. Hot 100 with its title track. Lady A continued to dominate the country-pop scene throughout the following decade, topping the Billboard 200 once more with 2011's Own the Night and 2013's Golden, winning Favorite Country Band, Duo or Group at the American Music Awards three years straight and scoring multiple No. 1 hits, including "American Honey," "Our Kind of Love" and "Just a Kiss." Following 2014's 747, the trio took a hiatus to focus on their respective solo careers. But they picked up where they left off in 2017 with their chart-topping sixth studio effort, Heart Break.

Loved that this concert was acoustic and that you could really hear their voices. Amazing harmonizing and vocals, they literally sounded better that any band I’ve ever seen live! Thought Matt Stell and Kimberly Perry were also really good and engaging! Loved this show!!
This is largely an acoustic concert. It is amazing. They talked to the audience like friends and told us about the reasons behind the songs. The singing was so crystal clear and beautiful. The support people were also terrific. I don’t know a lot about country music but this concert won me over. Go you will love it.
Lady A members have the most beautiful harmonizing voices.
I have been to a few concerts in my day, but the acoustic Lady A with guests was probably one of the best concerts I have seen. Excellent venue at The Stifel center!! Great sound, seating and service!! Thumbs up!!
I didn't know what to expect of an "acoustic"concert. It was the greatest. I loved the banter with the audience, telling how certain songs, came about! The only problem I had was I didn't get a chance to buy a "Lady T-shirt"! I was on the 4th floor, I had a walker, had to go down to 3rd floor, in the elevator, to get to the bathroom( which was on the other end, of the floor. By the time I got done, there was hardly anyone around. I wanted a t-shirt, but didn't know where the were selling them. When I got down to the bottom floor, found out they had already packed everything up. I wish they would have reminded the crowd, where to purchase one.
I had a great night. This was by far the best Lady A concert I have attended. It was different hearing them acoustically but was able to truly hear the words. I know it was supposed to be a set show but the idea that it was kind of a request made it even better.
I loved every second of this performance. Aaron Stiel and Kimberly Perry were phenomenal! Lady A aka Lady Antebellum, were just as expected, fun, full of life, and beautiful. I really enjoyed the story telling and goofing off. Will definitely see all 3 acts again in the furure!
I wasn’t sure how I would enjoy acoustic concert, but it was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed myself more than ever! Well worth the wait from December!
I loved every minute of the experience, and it was an experience! I felt like it was a unique engagement where my friends Hillary, Dave and Charles sat in front of me, talked, laughed and made some beautiful music. I would definitely go to another show like this over and over again!!
