The inspiration behind the lyrics to Little Big Town‘s forthcoming single ‘Pontoon’ were a bit of a mix up, but for the band and the writers, a very, very good mix-up! The song is the first single from the band’s highly-anticipated fifth studio album, and it is already being called “the single of the summer” by many media outlets. ‘Pontoon’ was crafted by the amazing minds of Luke Laird, Natalie Hemby and Barry Dean.
Before Little Big Town sang ‘Here’s Hope’ at the 2012 ACM Awards tonight (April 1), singer/songwriter Hunter Hayes introduced them, after performing the first verse of his song ‘Storm Warning.’ Hayes actually co-penned ‘Here’s Hope,’ which is part of the ACM Lifting Lives initiative. The song and the performance were designed to shed light on the epidemic of child hunger.
Little Big Town will take the Las Vegas stage at the 47th annual ACM Awards with a song and a message. By performing a song called ‘Here’s Hope’ on the April 1 CBS telecast, they’ll be helping to end child hunger.
After many Christmas classics were being performed on ‘CMA Country Christmas’ Thursday night, Little Big Town mixed things up a bit with a soulful and rockin’ performance of ‘Santa Claus Is Back in Town.’
Sugarland and Little Big Town have always enjoyed touring together. And you can almost count on every show having some encore of both acts on stage going outside of the box as you can see here.
