MAIN Pop Culture Country Music   Sugarland

Founded in 2003, Sugarland is the hot country music duo comprised of Jennifer Nettles (lead vocals) and Kristian Bush (background vocals, mandolin, acoustic guitar).

Before forming the group, singer Nettles led the Jennifer Nettles Band while backup singer Kristian Bush was a part the Billy Pilgrim duo. Comprising the original Sugarland trio, folksinger/songwriter Kristen Hall left the group in 2006 to pursue a solo career.

Now taking the country music scene by storm, Sugarland has consistently topped the charts since signing with Mercury Nashville Records in 2004. Their debut album, Twice the Speed of Life, quickly went double platinum — spinning off such popular hits as "Baby Girl", "Something More" and "Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good)".

Following Kristen Hall's departure in 2006, Nettles and Bush later released their second double platinum album "Enjoy the Ride" resulting in their first No. 1 hits, "Settlin" and "Want To".

Another Top Ten hit from the album, "Stay", was later awarded both Single Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2008 ACM Awards.

Sugarland's most current hit, "All I Want to Do", is from their third album "Love on the Inside" released in July 2008.

In 2009, watch for a nationwide primetime TV special, Sugarland: Live on the Inside, airing August 3 on ABC.
