Who is Little Big Town?
The American country music foursome originating from Alabama consists of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook. Founding members included Fairchild and Schlapman, who met at Samford University.
Later came Westbrook and Sweet, and the rest was history. Since those early days, the group has become known for hits like “Girl Crush,” “Better Man,” “Boondocks” and more.
