Lady Antebellum Open Namesake Concert Venue in Augusta, Ga.

Before moving to Nashville and founding Lady Antebellum, one of country's biggest bands, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood were just a couple of guys from Augusta, Ga.

Their hometown is awfully -- and rightfully -- proud of their accomplishments, and last week, the town of Evans held a dedication ceremony for Lady Antebellum Pavilion, a new concert venue named in the group's honor.

The trio -- rounded out by Hilary Scott, who Charles and Dave met in Nashville -- were in town for the honor, and after receiving a plaque, they played an hour-long show.

"Lady Antebellum has touched the souls of millions and gained worldwide recognition," the plaque read. "May all who perform here be inspired by their example."

A crowd of 5,000 -- many of whom had waited overnight for tickets -- shrugged off light rain and watched as Lady A mixed old songs and new, opening with 'Our Kind of Love,' a track from their multi-platinum selling, Grammy-winning sophomore album, 'Need You Now.'

"It's good to be back home," Dave said from the stage, according to the Augusta Chronicle. "We're so proud of being from Augusta tonight."

Money raised from the show went to benefit the John W. Kelley, M.D. Cardiovascular Endowment and University Health Care Foundation and the MCG Health Children's Medical Center.
