Lady Antebellum

Lady Antebellum will perform their first headlining concert at the Ryman Auditorium on Thurs., March 11. Tickets will go on sale Jan. 15 at 10:00 a.m. CT.

“Playing the Ryman has been at the top of our list of goals since we first got together to write songs…and I mean, it’s a BIG one,” says Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott.

Lady A just released the second single from their new album, Need You Now coming Jan. 26. “American Honey” was the highest debut of the week on MusicRow’s Country Breakout chart, entering at No. 40.

Jimmy Wayne will conduct his first live webcast from the road during his 1660-mile walk for the homeless on Mon., Jan. 11 at 9:00 am CT.

The website for Wayne’s “Meet Me Halfway” walk from Nashville to Phoenix went live today. On the site, fans can track Wayne’s progress, view video and photo updates from the road, as well as donate to “Meet Me Halfway” to help homeless youth. The webcast on his new site will mark his first live broadcast since beginning his trek halfway across America on New Year’s Day. MusicRow also has a Jimmy Wayne MMH Twitter list whcih can be viewed at http://www.twitter.com/musicrow/jimmywayne-mmh

So far, the coldest temperatures the Southeast has seen in some 50 years have slowed Wayne’s progress, but the artist is still making good time, and at this moment (Friday afternoon) is outside Jackson, Tenn.
