14 years ago Liv Carter 3
Katie Armiger’s breezy, catchy, girly-girl, single, ‘I Do, But Do I,’  just hit the summertime airwaves of country music radio. Co-written by Rhean Boyer (of Carolina Rain), and featured as a new single on the upcoming deluxe edition of Katie’s “Confessions of a Nice Girl” album, this tune is certainly age appropriate coming from a barely-out-of-her teens Armiger.  While Read More

With their new release, ‘Just a Kiss,’ Lady Antebellum moves beyond the extremely successful ‘Need You Now’ and looks toward their upcoming third album.
