Band Launches “Fan Cam” Promotion for Remaining Stadium Concert Dates with Kenny Chesney
NASHVILLE, TN – June 5, 2009 – Award winning Capitol Nashville trio Lady Antebellum has doubled its weekly album sales since their show-stopping performance of the critically acclaimed third single “I Run To You” on April’s Academy of Country Music Awards. The already GOLD certified album has never dipped from its position in the Top 10 on iTunes in nearly 14 months, currently sitting at No. six while the track holds the No. seven post.
“This song has really just taken on a life of its own,” says Lady Antebellum lead vocalist Charles Kelley. “You can tell that the lyrics really hit home for people because they are on their feet from the first note. And we’re not making it easy for them either because we added a really cool surprise intro to the live version. It is one of the biggest moments in our set now.”
The summer shows no signs of slowing down for the band with more than 24 concerts to go on Kenny Chesney’s “Sun City Carnival” Tour before it wraps in August. So, Lady A is calling on country music fans to help create their immensely popular weekly video blogs “Webisode Wednesdays” by launching a “Fan Cam” promotion for the remaining 7 stadium dates on the tour.
Lady A will provide one fan at each stop with a flip camera to snag footage of the tailgaters in the parking lot, the crowd rocking out during the show and even what goes on backstage with the band. Interested fans can enter on the band’s web site by creatively telling them why they would get the best footage.
Lady A will also catch up with fans during CMA Music Festival when they perform at LP Field on Friday, June 12 and again at the CMT Music Awards the following week, where they will perform and are nominated in three categories. For additional appearances, visit www.ladyantebellum.com.
