Consisting of members Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, and Jimi Westbrook, Little Big Town most recently released their 10th studio album Mr. Sun in September, which debuted as the Top Country Album by a group in 2022. The band first entered the music scene over 20 years ago with hit songs like "Boondocks," "Bring it on Home," "Good as Gone" and the GRAMMY-nominated "Little White Church." Their breakthrough albums Tornado and Pain Killer produced multiple #1 singles including "Pontoon," "Tornado," "Day Drinking," and "Girl Crush"- the history-making, best-selling country single of the year in 2015.
