Opportunity means choice. You can make a leap of faith into the unknown, or you can let it pass and wonder what might have been. Generally songs from popular music—including country—will tell you the former is the more advisable decision.
Which is a fancy way to say Lady Antebellum’s “We Owned The Night” is No. 1 on the CountryBreakout Chart for a second consecutive week and still showing signs of growth. Good timing, too: Hillary, Dave, and Charles just bagged their third consecutive Vocal Group of the Year honor at the 45th Annual CMA Awards and delivered a stunning performance of the song during the telecast. We suspect there’s plenty more where that came from, because the group’s massive Own The Night tour gets underway tonight (11/11) in Knoxville and runs through June 2012. There’s even a Nashville date scheduled for Feb. 22 at Municipal Auditorium.
“This is the tour we’ve always dreamed of putting together,” says Charles Kelley. “We got to help design the stage and really collaborate on new production ideas, and now we’re just really trying to hone in on the perfect set list to give the fans a cool mix of hits and some of their favorite songs from the new record. Plus, we’ve been working on some really intimate moments for our show, where we can really break things down and be close to the crowd. I can’t wait for the next nine months!”
So grab your wallet, and carpe diem already.
