This spring, America's winning "Single Best Town" will enjoy an unforgettable block party featuring country music trio Love And Theft, who are gearing up to tour with country music superstars Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum. The winning town will rock out to music from the band's recently released debut album, World Wide Open, including hits "Runaway" and "Dancing In Circles." The block party will also feature appearances by ABC Soap Stars.

"When we're out on tour we get to see the best of America in every town we visit, so we're really looking forward to jamming with the 'Single Best Town' in America," says Stephen Barker Liles of Love And Theft. "Who knows, we might even write a song about it!"
