In honor of the Love and Theft/Kraft Singles contest, here is a video below of Stephen talking about what he likes best about his hometown in Florida. Check it out!
Weekly Caption #28
Happy Monday everyone! First and foremost, make sure you are calling in daily and requesting, “Dancing In Circles” to your local country station. We want this one to go to #1! Second of all, I’ve added the caption for Weekly Caption #28. I know what y’all are probably asking, where is #27? I skipped last week to extend the previous caption in honor of Stephen’s birthday. Looks like we also got quite a few captions on that. Thank you to everyone who participated! Let’s try and have this caption be another success. Caption away!
Love and Theft Concert Review
Happy Saturday Theftheads! One of our very own Theftheads, Samantha Green, went to the Love and Theft concert at America’s Pub this past week. Not only that, but it was her very first Love and Theft concert. She was also awesome enough to type up a review for everyone to read, and provide some awesome photos from the awesome night. Huge thank you to her for her willingness to do this. Below is the review followed by some photos.
Wednesday night was the best night ever!! My friends Kayla, Aubri, and Brittany drove an hour to Wichita pick me up and we headed to America’s Pub. We got there at around 7:30 and since we were pretty early, we just got some drinks and hung out. Rick, the radio guy, found me and gave me my VIP pass and soon we were following him into the lounge where they were doing the M&G!!! He took me up to them first to introduce me and Stephen gave me a huge hug!! He told the guys about how I Tweet about them all the time and stuff and when he did, Brian whipped out his phone and pulled up their Twitter and said, “Is this you?” and showed my last Tweet!!! Naturally I got super excited!! After we got our pictures taken with them we went back out into the bar and waited till the show started.
The show was amazing!!! Hearing them acoustic is awesome because you can hear so well just how amazing they sound together!!! I don’t remember the exact order but they sang It’s Up To You, Me Without You, Don’t Wake Me, Ring of Fire, If I’m Fallin’, Freedom, Dancing In Circles, Fishin’ In The Dark, Can’t Go Back, and they ended with Runaway. Hearing them sing Runaway was my favorite part of the concert. Everyone was singing along and seeing the look of gratitude and happiness on Stephen’s face because everyone was singing was absolutely priceless!!! At one point during the show, they stopped for a minute to talk about their contest with KRAFT for the Best Town in the United States and Eric said, “Yeah, so if you think Wichita is the best COUNTRY in the United States…” Everyone started laughing and Brian and Stephen just looked at him and said “Really?? Country???” I was laughing so hard!!!
After the show was over, they stayed and signed autographs and took pictures with everyone so needless to say, we got more pictures with them!!! After everyone was through the line, they just hung out with all of us and we got to talk to them a lot and it was so much fun!! They are the easiest guys to talk to and they are so nice!!! At one point we were all just standing around and a song came on and Stephen just kind of naturally started doing the slice. I looked at him and said “The Slice!!” and started doing it too and he was like “You know the Slice?? Highfive!!” 12:30 rolled around and I decided maybe it was time to go home because I had an 8:00 class the next morning (even though I overslept and missed it). I went up to Stephen and told him I was leaving and he gave me a super big hug and said hopefully we would be able to talk again when they come in June with Tim!!!

Happy Birthday, Stephen!
Happy Sunday Theftheads! Today is a very special day for another one of our Love and Theft guys. It is Stephen’s 26th birthday. Happy Birthday, Stephen! For the past month and a half to two months, our very own Megan Rothenburg gathered birthday messages, photos for Stephen’s scrapbook. She was able to give that to him Thursday night at the Jason Aldean show, and she said that he loved the birthday scrapbook. Stephen’s dad also gathered birthday cards from the fans, and gave them to Stephen last night. Huge thanks to Megan and Mr. Liles for passing those on for the fans. Stephen, we hope you have an amazing birthday with friends and family.
Love and Theft At Tin Roof
Happy Wednesday everyone! Last night Love and Theft headlined at the Tin Roof for Music In The City. Other artists amongst this event were Jessie James, Steel Magnolia, Josh Thompson, and Josh Kelley. One of our very own Theftheads was in attendance and was able to record this video of the guys singing “Wrong Baby Wrong.” Thank you, Mandy!
Weekly Caption #26
Happy Monday Theftheads! Thank you to everyone who participated in last week’s caption #25. We didn’t get too many captions, let’s see if we can get more going this week. As I said last week, these next few weeks will be dedicated to Stephen since this is his birthday month after all. With that being said, head on over to Weekly Caption #26. Happy Captioning!
Mediabase Chart Update
After last week spending the week at #35 on the Mediabase country charts, this week they have went down a spot to #36. Let’s all continue to call our stations numerous times daily to request “Dancing In Circles.” Between now and in one month, let’s all call our stations requesting as much as possible, then let’s see where they stand on the charts. Maybe we can shoot for another top 10 if we try hard enough.
Mission Country Weekly
Happy Thefthead Thursday! I hope everyone has been enjoying their week. I’m writing this to tell you all that I came up with a mission that I think we all can accomplish if everyone pitches in to help. The mission is to see if we can all get Country Weekly to have Love and Theft on the cover of an issue. There are a few ways to go about doing this – one of them is to tweet @countryweekly letting them know that we want to see the guys appear on the cover. The second way is to send e-mails to letters@countryweekly.com letting them know we want to see them on the cover of an issue. Somewhere in the e-mail, please specify this is a Thefthead.com mission put on by the fan site. Who’s ready for this? I think we can do it with some hard work.
Weekly Caption #25
Happy Tuesday everyone! We got quite a few responses on last week’s caption. Great job! Let’s see if we can keep it up in the participation. This week’s caption is dedicated to Brian, however, the next two weeks will be dedicated to Stephen since this is his birthday month. To begin captioning on the new weekly caption, click here. Happy captioning!
