Sugarland Tickets : Nettles Sang With Bon Jovi On Their Single Who Says You Can't Go Home
Sugarland, an American country music duo, is composed of singer songwriters Jennifer
Nettles (lead vocals) and Kristian Bush (background vocals, lead vocals, mandolin, acoustic guitar, and harmonica). Sugarland was founded in 2002 by Kristen Hall with Bush and ultimately became a trio after hiring Jennifer Nettles as lead singer. After three years, Hall left the group.
Signed to Mercury Nashville Records in 2004, Sugarland broke through that year with the release of their debut single "Baby Girl", the first single from their multi-platinum debut album Twice the Speed of Life. The trio became a duo in 2006, when they also released their second album, Enjoy the Ride. This album produced their first two #1 singles (in the U.S.), "Want To" and "Settlin'", and won the duo a Grammy for "Stay". In 2008 they released their third album, titled Love on the Inside. This album produced three more #1 singles with "All I Want to Do", "Already Gone"and "It Happens".
Their fourth album, The Incredible Machine was released on October 19, 2010 in both a standard and deluxe edition. Upon "The Incredible Machine" being certified platinum, Sugarland's physical album sales exceed 9 million copies, with an additional 5.5 million digital tracks sold.On August 13, 2011, an outdoor stage collapsed due to high winds at the duo's concert at the Indiana State Fair, killing seven people and injuring over forty-five.
The concrete stage itself did not collapse; rather, it was the rigging, lighting trusses and speaker mounts which gave way due to the left canopy being torn suddenly by the gust. The torn canopy now acting as a wind sail greatly threw off the balance of weight which caused the rigging to fail and drag in the direction of the sail.Moments after the crash, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush posted on their Twitter account: We are all right.
We are praying for our fans, and the people of Indianapolis. We hope you will join us. They need your strength. Sugarland cancelled their concert scheduled for August 14, 2011, at the Iowa State Fair.The band also sent out a letter on their website explaining what they have gone through and a tribute for the families. They plan to resume their tour and use music "as a healer." The tour resumed August 18th with a stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where a moment of silence was held for the victims.
Kristen Hall left the band unexpectedly. It seems like she felt she wasn't wanted anymore in the group. Rumors had it that she didn't want to leave wingling, she left because she felt pressured into doing so because of her image. The belief was that her weight was the issue. Kristian said she wasnt getting any money.
In July 2008, Kristen Hall filed a lawsuit for $14 million against Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles stating that she was being excluded from sharing profits as had been agreed upon after her departure in 2005 to pursue a solo career. Hall claims to have coined the name of the band and allowed Bush and Nettles "to obtain equal co-ownership of the trademark and service mark". Hall's name is listed on the trademark for "Sugarland". The lawsuit was eventually settled outside of court in November 2010. Details regarding the settlement agreement were not disclosed.
Jennifer Nettles grew up in the small town of Douglas, Georgia. Nettles, Bush, and Hall were regulars in Atlanta's folk-rock scene in the 1990s and early 2000s before Sugarland was formed, playing frequently at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia, which Nettles' ex-husband owned for a time.
Sugarland's debut album, Twice the Speed of Life, was released Oct. 26, 2004. Serving as its lead-off single was the song "Baby Girl", which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts and set a record for the longest chart run since the inception of Nielsen SoundScan in 1990; it was also the highest-peaking debut single for a group in 13 years. Also released from the album were the singles "Something More", "Just Might (Make Me Believe)", and "Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good)", which peaked on the country charts at #2, #7, and #17, respectively.
The album received Multi-Platinum certification for sales of three million copies, becoming their first album to achieve that status.In late 2005, the trio performed with Bon Jovi on Country Music Television's musical fusion show, Crossroads. Nettles sang with Bon Jovi on their single "Who Says You Can't Go Home". The song later went on to become a #1 hit on the country charts. They toured the U.S. and Canada performing with Brad Paisley in 2005 and in 2006/2007 with Kenny Chesney on his Flip Flop Summer Tour.
