Hometown: Nashville
Nominations: Kimberly Roads Schlapman, Karen Fairchild, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet are up for vocal group and vocal event of the year.
Go Big or Go Home: Their single "Fine Line" is about a discussion between two people, where one has to "get in all the way, 100%, or get on out," Fairchild said.
