Platinum selling artists Little Big Town today announced that they will sign a multi-album recording contract with Capitol Records Nashville.  As part of this deal, Capitol says they will also acquire the band's two previous records, originally released on Equity Records.   That includes the 1.3 million selling, Grammy-nominated  The Road To Here, as well as A Place To Land, which was just released in November.  Capitol will assume the marketing and promotion of A Place To Land, and will be releasing a new single to country radio immediately.

 

"We have admired Little Big Town, their unique blend of vocal harmonies, and their proclivity to write and record hit records for many years", said Mike Dungan, President and CEO of Capitol Records Nashville.  "With their great live shows, and warm, approachable personalities, these four people have become engrained into the hearts and minds of country music fans everywhere.  They are poised to explode, and we are ecstatic about the possibilities, and humbled and honored to have been chosen to represent them and their music."
 
"We've been so impressed with the whole team at Capitol and the leadership of Mike Dungan that we felt like this was the right home for the band and our music,” said Little Big Town’s Phillip Sweet.
 
Little Big Town joins a strong Capitol Nashville roster that represents Keith Urban, Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley, Chris Cagle, Eric Church, Jedd Hughes, Lady Antebellum, Ashley Ray, Kenny Rogers, Darius Rucker, Cyndi Thomson and Emily West.
