Little Big Town?s?full-length album,?Tornado,?is predicted to hit the nation on Sept. 11 in the wake of major hit single ?Pontoon.? Last night (8/23) Capitol Records reined in a slew of Nashville who?s who for a soiree to where the ever-impressive foursome performed the album in its entirety.
With Capitol staff dispersed amongst the audience, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center floor was lively and liquored by the time the band hit the stage around 7.?Backed by their band and special guests, including producer Jay Joyce (playing celeste, synthesizer, keyboard, electric guitar) and guitarist Jedd Hughes, the show?s effects were undeniable?in production and delivery.
Lights shined from the stage risers at times, ticking out words like ?Little Big Town,? and (spoiler alert) ?Boondocks.? The band?s sound was impeccable and the performance matched. Each member had time in the spotlight while the others happily sang backup from the risers. But the effects are most compelling when the four team up, side-by-side, front stage.
A full track listing and songwriters appears below, but performance highlights included the title track ?Tornado,? when jets of c02 blasted up from various stage locations. The band stripped down the set for ?Night Owl,? performing with an upright bass to slow the mood, and left only song for an encore: its ?05 signature hit ?Boondocks.?
Fellow artists out to support the group included Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts, members of Edens Edge, and Eric Paslay.
Altogether, it?s taken ten years and four record deals for?Tornado to strike. Last night?s Nashville touchdown allowed a crowd of believers to continue rooting for the group it has long supported, and help them reach for the super stars.
