Dressed in period costumes, and posing in front of huge antebellum homes, Dave suggested that Lady Antebellum could make for a strong name. Hillary grew up on tour with Reba. Charles is related to actress Katherine Heigl. Charles married Cassie McConnell in the Summer of She formerly worked as a publicist for his brother, Josh.
After he married Hillary in , he started drumming for Lady Antebellum. The father of three is currently off the road, choosing to stay home with their growing brood. Dave also tied the knot in with Kelli Cashiola. Kelli previously worked at Warner Music Nashville before joining the Starstruck Entertainment team, where she helped manage the careers of A-list acts like Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson. They have six kids between them. I am however not giving up my name, my brand I worked hard for.
She told Rolling Stone no one from the group — featuring members Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood — reached out to her prior to revealing the name change. This is too much right now.
The country group behind hits "Need You Now" and "Bartender" announced the name change on Thursday, saying it was renouncing antebellum, a term used particularly to describe existing before the American Civil War. In a statement posted to social media, the band said that when Lady A formed 14 years ago, the group didn't consider the pre-Civil War "associations that weigh down this word," including ties to slavery.
The move comes in the wake of a renewed Black Lives Matter movement following the death of George Floyd, a Black man killed by a white Minneapolis police officer. So today, we speak up and make a change. Today, we connected privately with the artist Lady A.
White has long been an advocate of social change. At issue is the possibility of trademark infringement. Patent and Trademark office? If she does, she can go ahead and sue Lady Antebellum for infringement.
She is first to use the mark in commerce, so that gives her a superior right to the name. Celestin adds that if two artists who work in different genres end up with the same name, they can reach a coexistence agreement that allows both groups to market music under the name by acknowledging the slim chance for confusion. If the two parties end up going to court, Celestin says one group will likely have to alter their name. I tell my clients to search Google, GoDaddy, and the trademark office before using a name.
Though such clashes are rare, some artists have had to change their names in the past due to doubling. The British group the Charlatans, for example, are known in North America as the Charlatans UK because of a conflict with a Californian psychedelic-folk band already named the Charlatans.
