Country trio Lady Antebellum took the stage Sunday at one of the biggest musical events of the year — the Grammy Awards show, where they also accepted a field-leading five statues.
Members Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott are set to take a hometown stage this Friday, and it's at a far more intimate event. The band will play the Dustin J. Wells Foundation's fourth annual Gift of Music concert at the Wildhorse Saloon (120 Second Ave. N. in Nashville), alongside Dierks Bentley, Brett Eldredge, Joey + Rory, Heidi Newfield and LoCash Cowboys.
It's already sold out — but The Tennessean might have your way in. To enter a random drawing to win two tickets to the event, email your name and contact information to Tennessean.com Contests. We’ll be accepting entries until 6 p.m. Central Thursday, Feb. 17.
Doors open Friday at 6 and music starts at 7:30 p.m.

Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow to tape network special in Nashville
Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Luke Bryan, Gretchen Wilson and others will tape a network television special today at Nashville Center Stage (514 8th Avenue S.). Specifics about the filming — like the name of the network and program — are hush-hush at the moment, but the public is invited to attend, and admission is free.
Filming begins at 12:30 p.m. with Bryan, and Crow and Kid Rock will follow about 3 p.m. Wilson is set to play around 6 p.m. Potential audience members must be 18 or older and come dressed in summer clothes. Food will be available for purchase, and space is limited.
Kid Rock has other Nashville plans this week, too: He brings his tour to Bridgestone Arena on Friday with guest Jamey Johnson. Tickets ($25, $39.50, $49.50 and $92) were still available at press time, but the show is expected to sell out. Check Tennessean.com/music after the show for a review and photos.

Christian rocker celebrates baby, Dove nominations
Wednesday was quite the big day for Tenth Avenue North singer Mike Donehey. The Christian rocker's band received four Dove Award nominations, including song and group of the year, but we'll guess he's a little preoccupied with the day's other news: He and wife Kelly welcomed baby girl Nora Kanene, the proud Dad shared via Twitter. Nora joins big sister Eisley Mae, who turned 1 in October.
"My wife is a superhero," Donehey tweeted.
Tenth Avenue North will be on the road with Christian rock mainstays Third Day from March through May, stopping here at the Ryman Auditorium on May 14. Ticket info is forthcoming.
