More Acts Added To 45th Annual CMA Awards

In addition to attending next month’s CMA Awards in hopes of taking home another award for vocal group of the year, Lady Antebellum will be there as one of the evening’s performers.

The trio has snagged the vocal group of the year award the past two years in a row. In 2008 the group was honored with the award for new artist, followed by single of the year wins in 2009 (for “I Run to You”) and 2010 (for “Need You Now”), as well as a trophy for co-producing the 2010 single of the year.

The Band Perry is competing with Lady Antebellum for vocal group of the year. The band was nominated for three other awards including single and music video for “If I Die Young,” as well as new artist. Lead singer Kimberly Perry is also up for song of the year for writing “If I Die Young.”
