Little Big Town is an American country music vocal group. Formed in 1999, the band has four members: Karen Fairchild (born September 28, 1969), Kimberly Roads (born October 15, 1969), Jimi Westbrook (born October 20, 1971), and Phillip Sweet (born March 18, 1974). Unlike most vocal groups, Little Big Town does not have a designated lead singer; instead, vocal duties are shared among all four members.
Little Big Town was signed originally to Mercury Nashville Records; however, no singles or albums were released on that label. They moved to Sony's Monument Records, on which they released their self-titled 2002 debut album. The album was panned critically and did not sell commercially. The album had two minor singles on it and, eventually, the group was dropped from the label. After losing their record deal, the band members worked in telemarketing for a brief period to make ends meet.
Little Big Town resurfaced on Clint Black's Equity Music Group label in 2005 and, on October 4, 2005, released their second album, The Road to Here. The group's second album produced Little Big Town's first Top 10 country hit with "Boondocks", while the follow-up single, "Bring It On Home", gave the group its first Top 5.
The group received two Grammy nominations, highlighting an eventful 2006.
On November 28th of 2006, Kimberly Roads, whose first husband died of a heart attack at age 41, remarried on an island in the Caribbean. She is now expecting a baby with her second husband in August of 2007.
Band members Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook married on May 31, 2006; however, they did not reveal this until July of 2006, having said they wanted to keep it private.
Phillip Sweet married Rebbeca Arthur, a business owner and wardrobe stylist, on the 30th of March 2007 Sweet and his wife are expecting their first child too, by the end of 2007
