Little Big Town recently kicked off the very first year-long artist residency, “Little Big Town at the Mother Church”. The residency is the only time an artist has headlined as many shows at Ryman Auditorium over the course of the year in the venue’s 125-year history. The residency marks the latest of several recent milestones for Little Big Town, including the launch of the Little Big Town wine, 4, and the group’s artist-curated retail collection with Opry Entertainment entitled “Boondocks.”
Earlier this year, their new album, “The Breaker”, debuted No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and No. 4 on the Billboard 200, marking the group’s fourth Top 10 project on the Billboard 200 chart. The album features their current hit at country radio, “Happy People,” as well the two-week #1 single, “Better Man.”
