Over the last year, the three members of Lady Antebellum—Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood—have dedicated some time away from the group to tackle individual projects and spend time with their families. Hillary did both at the same time.
Hillary teamed with her father, Lang, mother, Linda Davis and younger sister, Rylee, to create the faith-based album, Love Remains, which was released on July 29 and reached No. 1 on Billboard‘s Christian Albums chart.
Three days prior to the album’s release on July 26, Hillary and the Scott Family made their collective debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage. Nash Country Daily has the exclusive premiere of a video that takes viewers through the family’s Opry journey, including interviews and performance footage.
One of the most touching moments is watching Rylee, 16, go through a range of emotions—from excitement to nervousness—before stepping on the Opry stage for the first time.
“Dad’s played the Opry as an artist many years ago, mom’s played it many time, I’ve been able to play it as a part of Lady A,” said Hillary backstage before the show. “For Rylee to be able to experience it tonight for the first time—not just attending and in support, but stepping on that stage and singing. To be able to all be up there together is really amazing.”
Hillary and the Scott family performed three songs from the album, including “Thy Will” and “Beautiful Messes,” before Love Remains producer Ricky Skaggs joined the family onstage for a song.
Check out the video below, which includes interviews with Hillary, Linda, Lang, Rylee, Ricky and more, as well as some cute footage of Hillary’s daughter, Eisele, singing “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” And be sure to catch Hillary and the Scott family as they return to the Grand Ole Opry stage on Oct. 25 as the Opry Goes Pink in support of the fight against breast cancer with Jason Aldean, Chris Young, Montgomery Gentry and more.
