Sugarland


Sugarland is a country music duo.  The duo is composed of Jennifer Nettles, who sings led vocals, and Kristian Bush, who sings vocals and plays guitar.  The duo started out as a trio in 2002 with Nettles, Bush, and Kristen Hall.  Kristen Hall left the group in 2005 to stay home and write songs.  But she brought up a lawsuit in 2008 for $1.5 million against Bush and Nettles stating that she was being excluded from sharing profits as had been agreed upon after her departure in 2005 to pursue her solo career.  Hall claimed to have coined the name Sugarland and allowed Bush and Nettles to have equal co-ownership to the name.  The federal court case is to start November 15. 

Sugarland has released many albums in their career so far.  Their first album was Twice the Speed of Life released in 2004.  The album went 3 times Platinum.  Their next album was, Enjoy the Ride in 2006, was the first one as a duo.  The last album that Sugarland has released was The Incredible Machine was just released this October.  Sugarland’s first single released on radio was “Baby Girl” in 2004, which made it to number 2 in the Country Music Charts.  Their first single as a duo was “Want To” in 2006 and was their first single to go number 1 in the Country Music Chart.  Since then, they have had number one singles.  Sugarland’s latest single on the radio is “Stuck Like Glue” which is currently number 3 in the Country Music Charts. 

I have seen Sugarland in concert and loved it.  That concert is in my Top 10 of concerts that I have loved going to.  I also really enjoy their music and look forward to see them perform live again.
