Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott hit the stage with her family at The Bell Tower in Nashville, Tennessee, last Wednesday to introduce music from the upcoming album Love Remains in front of 200 of their closest friends.
Love Remains, a 13-track collection, was inspired by hymns Scott sang growing up in church, and is set to release on Friday.
The intimate performance to promote the album showcased the group's harmonies as they sang newly-written original songs off of the upcoming release such as, "Safe Haven" and "Beautiful Messes." The night also featured a surprise performance from coveted producer Ricky Skaggs on a number of songs including, "We March On" and "Your Unfailing Love."

According to a statement shared with The Christian Post, "Scott mesmerized the crowd with the record's sonically stunning first single 'Thy Will.'" The hit single earned the No.1 spot last week on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart and is among the Top 10 on the National Christian Audience chart.
With Skaggs as producer on some of the tracks, the sound of the forthcoming album is described as a blend of bluegrass, country and pop.
Scott first announced the making of her single "Thy Will" and album Love Remains in an open letter to fans on Facebook where she said: "I'm so excited. The day is finally here that I get to share with you all what I've been up to. I have made a faith-based album Love Remains.
"The best part about this collection of songs is that it is featuring my mom, Linda Davis, my father, Lang Scott, and my little sister, Rylee Scott, all produced by Ricky Skaggs.
She continued: "So ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you Hillary Scott & The Scott Family. I wanted to first share 'Thy Will.' I wrote this song about a very recent experience that left me heartbroken, asking why, and facing some of my most difficult days. This song is my letter to God. As I ask some really hard questions, I hold onto the truth that there is so much to the story of my life that I can't see, but that I still choose to trust Him."
The country star also shared her hopes for the new album in a promotional video in which she explains that the concept initially came from her father who wanted to create an album of hymns with family and friends.
Love Remains follows more than 11 million album sales worldwide for Scott as one-third of the one of the world's most popular groups, Lady Antebellum. The trio has earned six platinum singles and dubbed ACM and CMA "Vocal Group of the Year" three years in a row.
