The Lady Antebellum Prom Gig for Henryville High School and subsequent show at Yum! got lots of media attention, as would be expected. The C-J put the story on the front page: “Lady Antebellum rocks tornado benefit concert, raises $235,000 for Henryville.” Over at the Scene And Heard blog, C. Michael Stewart has some excellent photos of the show. There’ll likely be more to this story.
