The story of Sugarland is one of those fairy-tale country music successes that just warms your heart. For one thing, it has the most idyllic of starts: an early morning round of coffee at an Atlanta Starbucks where Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush sat down and penned a list of their dreams on a napkin. 1.) Balance being in a band and having a family 2.) Get a Grammy nomination 3.) Sell a million records Check. Check. And double check. In the two years since the Top Five single "Baby Girl" put Sugarland on the map, they've accomplished more than anyone ever expected, least of all Jennifer and Kristian themselves. With almost three million copies sold of their Mercury Nashville debut, Twice The Speed Of Life, an American Music Award for "Favorite Breakthrough Artist," an Academy of Country Music Award for "New Duo/Group of the Year," a Grammy nomination for "Best New Artist," six CMA nods, arena tours from coast-to-coast and appearances on national TV shows like The Tonight Show and Good Morning America, the little band that could did, in a big way. Sugarland will be supported by The Wreckers, made up of singer/songwriters Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp. Their debut, Stand Still Look Pretty, is a modern country at its best; from the first single, the assertive and exuberant “Leave The Pieces” to the down-home hoot “Crazy People,” it hits the highest standards of both country and pop, with more than a little rock & roll tossed in for that extra bite. Also supporting is Rodney Atkins, who has released his second album, If You’re Going through Hell, following his debut with Honesty back in 2003. Brought to you by NiteLite Promotions.
