Book Charles Kelley
Charles Kelley is the American country singer who co-founded the trio Lady A, originally Lady Antebellum, with Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood in 2006, sharing lead vocals in a group that became a major force in modern country. The band's 2008 debut introduced "Love Don't Live Here" and "I Run to You," which became their first No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. Their second album, Need You Now (2010), produced the crossover smash title track, which reached No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, along with "American Honey" and "Our Kind of Love." Own the Night (2011) added another chart-topper in "Just a Kiss." Kelley shares in the group's seven Grammy wins from twelve nominations, including Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Country Song for "Need You Now," and Best Country Album for both Need You Now and Own the Night. Stepping out on his own, he released the solo albums The Driver (2016) and Songs for a New Moon (2025). The group records for Big Machine Records. On stage Kelley brings a warm, soulful baritone, easygoing charisma and a songbook of country-pop anthems built for big sing-alongs.
