Brian Doben Captures Country Music’s Biggest Stars for People
Brian Doben photographs People magazine’s favorite country stars of 2010 for their latest special issue, on newsstands now. Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley and the Punch Brothers, Brad Paisley and Little Jimmy Dickens, and Reba McEntire are seen at their favorite spots in and around Nashville. McEntire is also on the cover of the magazine. The locations either have personal significance to the stars or are of cultural significance to the city of Nashville, which is still recovering from devastating floods in May. For instance, Lady Antebellum chose 3rd and Lindsley, the bar they first performed at together, while Brad Paisley chose the once flood-ravaged Grand Ole Opry House, which he helped reopen with Little Jimmy Dickens in September.

The photographs are being auctioned off, starting today, to benefit Nashville flood relief. Says Doben, “I am so grateful for all the artists, giving their precious time for a great cause is greatly appreciated…” To bid on and see all of the images, go to http://www.charitybuzz.com/auctions/peoplecountry.
Brian Doben most recently collaborated with People Magazine on Taylor Swift’s “My Story” cover feature.
