• While having a whirlwind of a year, Little Big Town hasn’t forgotten to take time out to say thank you and do their part to help.  The foursome has released a video for the song they performed on the ACM Lifting Lives television special.  “Here’s Hope” was co-written by Hunter Hayes, Luke Laird and Barry Dean.  The tune sends a positive message that goes along with their partnership with ConAgra foods in an effort to end childhood hunger.
