Lady Antebellum sings National Anthem (twice)
Tuesday, December 8, 2009 – Lady Antebellum will show their skills at singing the National Anthem at two football games in coming weeks. The trio will open the Tennessee Titans home game vs. the St. Louis Rams on Dec. 13, and they will also ring in the New Year at the Allstate Sugar Bowl matchup between the University of Cincinnati and the University of Florida in New Orleans Jan. 1.
Lady A will celebrate New Year's Eve in the French Quarter, headlining the "Allstate Fan Fest" street concert to kick off Sugar Bowl festivities. The free concert begins at 6 p.m. in the JAX Brewery Parking lot.
"It wouldn't feel like the holidays without football," said Charles Kelley. "We love being part of the opening ceremonies of some of these big games because there's so much energy in the stadium. You look out and see the players and fans, and then hear the planes flying over and the fireworks shooting off...I get chills every time...it's a total adrenaline rush."

Lady Antebellum may lean a little too closely to pop music for many tastes, but it's hard to argue with the trio's song choices. And its latest collection is filled with many memorable songs.

Lady Antebellum may cause you to throw out many of your country music principles. They don't sing and play traditional country music, for starters. They're not cool like more rocking Americana artists. In fact, they're huge mainstream country stars. So, why are some of us still suckers for their sound? And why does the new "Heart Break" sound so good on the ears? Well, it's simple, but complicated.
Hillary Scott is simply a wonderfully sincere singer. ...
Six albums into its career, Lady Antebellum pretty much has the formula down pat. Either Hillary Scott or long and lanky Charles Kelley assumes lead vocals with Dave Haywood also providing vocals plus guitars and mandolin in a bunch of songs easy on the ears with a story often involving a lust for love.
