The Seattle-based artist has been using the name for decades.
A Seattle blues musician who has been performing for decades with the name “Lady A” is not at all pleased that the country act formerly known as “Lady Antebellum” has begun using the same name, Rolling Stone reported.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the phenomenally-popular Nashville act had, since 2006, used their name in honor of the antebellum plantation in which their first photos as a band were taken. However, in a Twitter post this week, they announced that the national discussion about race that has been taking place since the George Floyd protests called to their attention a blind spot that they hadn’t noticed: their name.
Specifically, the word “antebellum” comes from two Latin words that mean “before the war.” As the phrase is used in American English, refers to the period before the Civil War.
