Who are The Little Big Town Members, Are They Married, What is Their Net Worth?

Quick Facts of The Little Big Town

Jimi Westbrook, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Karen Fairchild joined talent with skills and unwavering dedication to form the country quartet dubbed The Little Big Town.

Formerly a duo formed towards the end of the 1990s, the country music band metamorphosed into a trio and finally had four members who play different instruments and alternated as lead vocalists to produce award-winning hits for the band.

The beginning wasn’t a walk in the park for the music group who performed, recorded and wrote music that seemed unproductive at first. Their first recording contract was with the Mercury Nashville Records label, a deal that didn’t see to the release of any song.

In 2002, the unrelenting band debuted on the airwaves with their eponymous album under Monument Records. With just two minor country chart singles, the piece was somewhat of a commercial flop.

Little Big Town Members left Monument Records to join another label known as Equity Music Group in 2005. The same year, they dropped their sophomore album titled The Road to Here, marking the beginning of greater heights.

The album got a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and equally set the pace for more success and the band on a highway to superstardom.

Their dedication and perseverance had paid off and The Little Big Town members showed no sign of resting on their oars.

They released a third album – A Place to Land, under the stable of Equity, but later released it once again under Capitol Records Nashville following the closure of Equity in 2008.

Under Capitol Records, other albums including The Reason Why (2010), Tornado (2012), Pain Killer (2014), Wanderlust (2016), and The Breaker (2017) were released.

Their albums have produced several hit singles, some of which landed on Hot Country Songs charts. Consequently, the quartet that was once seen as a failure has over thirty awards and several nominations to show off for their years of perseverance and hard work.
