The band are comprised out of one core trio. Hilary Scott and Charles Kelley both share lead vocals on their songs, with Kelley also playing the rhythm guitar, whilst multi-instrumentalist Dave Haywood sings backup vocals while playing lead guitar, piano and mandolin.
Scott is the only one of the trio actually born in Tennessee, with both Kelley and Haywood being born in Georgia, the former was raised there while the latter was raised in North Carolina for the first ten years of his life. Haywood’s family moved back to Georgia and the two natives became friends in middle school, and by 2005 they were meeting up to write songs together every other weekend.
Like many other before and many others who will go on to do so, creating music became their passion and they came to Nashville seeking to make Kelley’s dreams of country stardom a reality. In comes Hilary Scott, who recognised Kelley from his MySpace page (that’s right, we’re going way, way back here!) when they met in a bar.
The three of them started writing songs together and country history was made. They signed to Capitol Records in 2007 and released their self-titled debut the year after; it was an instant hit, hitting the top spot on the Billboard country album charts in the first week of release.
Their music is a seamless mix of the accessible yet artistic, and their reign on top of the country world is only just beginning. If you join them for the ride now, there will be sights and sounds that you’ll never forget.
Aaron Watson is a singer-songwriter who hails from Amarillo Texas and attended Abilene Christian University, where he start playing the guitar. He played a number of gigs around Texas before releasing his debut album entitled “A Texas Café”. In the last fifteen years he has released upwards of about ten studio albums, his most recent one that he is touring with, called “Real Good Time” made it to number 9 in the US Country Charts. He opens with the song “Barbed Wire Halo” which opens with a violin played as a fiddle playing an exert similar to the song “Amazing Grace”. He joins in on his Gibson Hummingbird guitar. It is almost as though this song samples the original song. The audience is singing along from the start to the finish with their hands high up in the air. One of the songs that goes down the best is a song called “July in Cheyenne” which has everyone in this place dancing and jumping around, whilst the Texan crooner provides a worthy soundtrack.

Lady A is quite amazing. That would be the short and simple review, but that wouldn’t even begin to describe the experience that you get at one of their shows. Apart from the vocal performance of Hilary Scott being amazing, there is much more to their show. Musically they are one of the best harmonized groups I have ever heard, but it is all about the experience when you go a Lady A show. Rarely ever is there a bad seat because of their ability to connect with the audience. The connection occurs with every song, not just their popular songs. Since they are so versatile musically, going to their show is like constant party, you never know what you are going to get, but you know it will be fun. The last time I saw them it was at a medium sized venue, but they made you feel like it was a small intimate venue. The pyro and special effects were amazing. The entire presentation was not to be missed. I would recommend their concerts to anyone. My favorite song they do now still has to be Need You Now or What You Drinking from one of their early albums.

William Beckmann conquers the stage every time he performs. The kid explodes with talent.
It's amazing for someone so young to be so natural on the stage. If there's a change I want watch him perform, I'm there. There are big things in his future. You don't have to take my word for it. You just have to go see for yourself.
