Lady A Delivers Timely “Bigger Picture,” First Preview of Their 10th Album

Published

on

Through lyrics that embrace life’s rawest emotions with honest vulnerability, DIAMOND-certified and GRAMMY Award-winning group Lady A has given fans a soundtrack to their more personal moments for two decades. Today, they unexpectedly introduce their 10th studio album with “Bigger Picture.” Late in the album’s recording process, with no intention of releasing new music this year, a demo of the hopeful song landed in their hands. Written by Trannie Anderson, Devin Dawson, Paul Sikes, and Andy Albert, the Jay Joyce-produced track is a powerful reminder that faith doesn’t mean having all the answers, it means trusting God has a greater plan even when we have questions. It’s believing He’s at work even when it doesn’t make sense, and holding on to hope in the most difficult seasons. Fans can listen to the song and watch special behind-the-scenes studio footage in the lyric video via LadyAMusic.com.

“The day before we went into the studio to finish up our next record, this song was sent to Hillary. We felt its message so deeply and knew it needed to be on the next record, so we cut it the next day,” explains Lady A’s Dave Haywood. “Then, a week later, we learned of Charles’ cancer diagnosis. God’s timing in allowing this song to find us and the message behind it is truly carrying us right now. We can’t help but think there are more people who might need to hear it too. We trust there’s a bigger picture.”

The trio will next come together to fill hearts with the magic of Christmas when Lady A launches THIS WINTER’S NIGHT TOUR 2026 on December 10 at Northfield Park Racino in Northfield, OH. Following last year’s inaugural run full of “big, joyful moments with intimate sing-alongs and storytelling” (USA TODAY), they’re set to visit major cities like New York, NY, and Greensboro, NC, before wrapping the limited trek back home on December 21 with two shows at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN.

Built around rich vocal harmony, genuine songwriting, and a smooth fusion of Country, Rock, and Pop, Lady A has long been a model of mainstream success. They have become one of the 21st century’s premier vocal groups, blending deeply felt emotions with classic Country sounds. As a Country radio staple, Lady A has amassed 11 #1s and over 9 billion global streams, and most recently collaborated with Boyz II Men on “I Love The One.” Known for their 12X PLATINUM hit “Need You Now,” which is the highest certified song by a Country group, they have earned ACM and CMA Vocal Group of the Year honors three years in a row (and newly nominated in the category for “The 60th Annual CMA Awards”) and numerous other accolades, including seven GRAMMY Awards, Billboard Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and a Tony Award nomination.

Gavin Adcock Launches Thrivin’ Here Co. Western Lifestyle Brand

Published

on

Gavin Adcock grew up wearing pearl snaps to run cattle on his farm in Watkinsville, Georgia. Now, on the heels of releasing his third album in three years, The Day I Hang It Up, earlier this month, the singer is commemorating his roots with the launch of his Western lifestyle brand, Thrivin’ Here Co.

“This isn’t a costume. I don’t just wear pearl snaps on stage, I’ve worn ’em my whole life,” remarks Adcock. “On the farm. On the stage. On the days nobody was watching.”

To kick-start the launch, Adcock dropped Chapter One, The Cowboy Kit, which includes three pieces: The OG Pearl Snap with a custom developed fit and longhorns, The Trucker Hat with cotton twill material and the Thrivin’ Here Co. patch, and The Bandana, built for sweat, dust and long nights.

Each chapter is available while supplies last, with Chapter Two unlocking when the next chapter of Gavin’s story does. No restock will be available on anything that came before it. Fans can sign up for drop alerts and learn more at ThrivinHereCo.com.

The brand arrives alongside the biggest music run of Adcock’s career. The Day I Hang It Up spans 26 tracks, with Adcock featured as a co-writer on all but four songs. Produced by Jay Rodgers, the album also includes collaborations with Treaty Oak Revival, ERNEST, and his previously released fan favorite, “Cheap Thrills” with Hudson Westbrook. Offering a mix of heartbreak, love and outlaw country influences, the album adds a layer of depth to the country star’s repertoire — “Shoes” and “Rockstar Life” delve into the cost of rising fame, while “Holes In The Boat” offers an honest look at balancing masculinity and vulnerability concerning mental health. The Tennessean remarked Adcock is “a voice capable of withstanding an enduring career.” Listen to the album here.

The album inspired the name of Adcock’s headlining The Day I Hang It Up Tour, currently underway. Adcock recently extended the run into 2027 with Blake Whiten supporting on 12 additional dates. Following performances in Australia in March, Adcock will embark on the second leg on April 1, kicking off at Gatton Park in Lexington, KY, followed by two nights at The Factory in St. Louis, MO and stops in eight additional cities, including Oklahoma City, OK, Richmond, VA and Baltimore, MD. Closer to home, the 2026 run hits Charlotte, NC on Oct. 29, Savannah, GA on Oct. 30 and Estero, FL on Oct. 31. Tickets for the newly announced shows are on sale now at GavinAdcockMusic.com.
