Band Name Stories: Lady Antebellum

Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood first performed as Lady Antebellum in 2006. The name originated at a publicity shoot where they used a pre-Civil War Southern mansion for a scenic backdrop. Although they were aware that having both male and female lead vocals on their songs might confuse those who thought Lady Antebellum would be a girl group, Haywood told USA Today, "That was partly why we thought it was cool."

Of course a "Lady" of the Antebellum period--pre Civil War-- could also be Master's Wife. So there is a bit of a racist element there. Although I don't think the members of the band are racist.

They're not a "Band", they're a vocal group. I don't consider them a "Band" unless they are a "full band". Who's the drummer? Who's the keyboardist?
