SEATTLE — A high profile legal battle between Seattle blues singer Lady A and the country stars formerly known as Lady Antebellum seems to have reached an abrupt conclusion.
The two sides filed a joint motion in a Tennessee court on Monday to dismiss dueling lawsuits over the use of the name "Lady A."
In the weeks following George Floyd's murder in 2020, the Nashville band formally changed its name to Lady A, a longtime fan nickname, dropping the word "antebellum," which critics have argued romanticizes the pre-Civil War South. The band claimed it was unaware that the Lady A moniker was already being used by Seattle artist Anita "Lady A" White.
