Lady Antebellum Donate Musical Instruments to Canadian Elementary School

Lady Antebellum, the award-winning trio made up of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood, donated more than 35 musical instruments to an elementary school in Ontario, Canada, after a recent concert at Niagara Fallsview Casino.

The band presented the instruments to staff members from Fitch Street Elementary School backstage at the venue. Universal Nashville, Lady A's label, as well as Universal Canada, Little Kids Rock and the Education Foundation of Niagara, helped provide the instruments.

Lady Antebellum have been in the giving spirit quite a bit recently. In the fall, to celebrate the release of their newest album, 747, the trio used their 7FOR7 campaign to grant wishes for seven deserving fans. Among their good deeds, Lady A helped pay a nursing student's tuition and gifted a bride-to-be and her groom their honeymoon trip.

The band will be recognized for their generosity at the upcoming Country Radio Seminar (CRS) with the CRS 2015 Artist Humanitarian Award.

“It is always humbling and inspiring to learn of the great work that country artists do behind the scenes to share the many blessings and gifts that come with fame and stardom,” CRS President Charlie Morgan says. “I would argue no format has a more generous group of artists than we do, and at CRS 2015, we will pay special tribute to one of the best, Lady Antebellum, with our Artist Humanitarian Award.”

Lady Antebellum will kick off their worldwide Wheels Up 2015 Tour on Feb. 28 in Norway, before traveling to Sweden, the UK, Ireland and Australia. But the "Freestyle" singers say they have more in mind for their international dates than just making new fans.

“We are going to be road testing a lot of these album cuts off of 747 and seeing what the fans think of them,” Scott says. “While we’re in Europe and Australia, a lot of them really get so deep into these albums, they know a lot of these songs, and so that’ll be fun.”

Their North American tour leg kicks off on May 1 in Texas. See all of their upcoming shows here.
