LUMBERTON, NC – Join WKML and the Carolina Civic Center Historic Theater for a very special evening benefitting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Stepping outside of one of the world’s most popular groups, Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley explores new territory with a raw sound that pushes his vocals into a lower, grittier key than what listeners have been hearing from him in a group setting. “The Driver” serves as the lead single from his upcoming first-ever solo release and was born in a ratty studio in the back of producer Paul Worley’s office. His unmatched perspective of hours spent on the road pursuing a life-long dream is present through his impeccable voice. In addition to his success as part of seven-time GRAMMY award-winning trio Lady Antebellum.

When Morgan was 12, inspired by seeing a Dierks Bentley concert, the youngster began playing out in public, and soon formed a band with local pickers.

BRITTANY McLAMB
From the one stoplight town of Salemburg, North Carolina to the spotlight: Music City, TN, Brittany McLamb brings to the table a unique blend of powerhouse vocals and a grassroots sound.
