Country trio gaining traction as a CRS New Faces headliner

Cyndee Vaxwell [email protected]

Iady Antebellum is one of the acts appearing at the New Faces Show March 6 at the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville. The trio -vocalists Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley and guitarist /pianist /backing vocalist Dave Haywood-has an impressive list of accolades from the industry and fans alike.The band's current (and third) single, "I Run to You," is climbing R &R's Country chart and is No. 28 this week. R &R spoke to Kelley about his group's success and CRS appearance.

I've get back into music with my brother, I was writing songs heard stories about Tim McGraw -that he appeared at for his album.

It was anything, then he said, "You've got a great voice; you where he got his big start.We don't know what to expect; ought to start singing sonic of this yourself." I was just we'll just get out there, do what we do and try not to think trying to develop my sound. Once I met Hillary I start- too much about it.
