GRAMMY® Award-winning superstar duo SUGARLAND brings the power of their tour to a special collection of tracks from the road with their newest BIGGER, LOUDER, LIVE EP via Big Machine Records, available everywhere now: https://sugarland.lnk.to/LiveEP. Recorded at the duo’s Bridgestone Arena headline show in Nashville, the live versions honor their critically-acclaimed sixth studio album BIGGER as Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush are currently back in the studio as they prepare to embark on a new chapter with fresh music coming this year.

Of the 2019 Music City outing, “Baby girl has grown up.

Sugarland’s New Album & Tour Launch To Stellar Reviews

By on June 20, 2018 in In The Press

 

‘STILL THE SAME’ 2018 Tour Kicks Off To Stellar Reviews
“Sugarland has found a way to stay in touch, with their audience and the broader world, by enlarging their scope on Bigger, and that’s no small feat.” – NPR Music

“Few artists can meld the joyful and the thoughtful as exuberantly as the country-pop duo do on their sixth studio album.”
– Entertainment Weekly

“The duo is very much still the same. Its chemistry is there. Their trust in each other is intact. Their creative vision is in lockstep.” – The Tennessean

“Sugarland haven’t missed a step. Bigger is, as the name suggests, an extrapolation of everything that made the celebrated pop country duo one of the biggest acts of the 2000s.” – Wide Open Country 

GRAMMY® Award-winning superstar duo SUGARLAND are celebrating the release of their critically acclaimed sixth studio record BIGGER, which arrived on June 8 via a joint venture with Big Machine Records and UMG Nashville. The duo recently appeared on the TODAY Show on NBC to perform a captivating rendition of “Babe”, their newest single from the album. The track was written by Taylor Swift and is currently in the Top 30 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart and at Country radio. Watch the performance HERE now.

Returning from a hiatus that saw both Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush release highly praised solo albums, BIGGER marks Sugarland’s first new album in eight years. Bush and Nettles co-wrote nearly all of the songs on the album, and have so far been drawing praise across the board from critics and fans alike. BIGGER is now available digitally and physically HERE.

BIGGER embodies the musical spirit that fans have come to expect from Sugarland, combining upbeat tracks with powerful message songs that address specific issues facing the world today and spark conversations for tomorrow. “Our hopefulness and our sparkiness and our joy are things I think we do uniquely well, especially in the country format,” says Jennifer of the set’s sunnier material. “We offer that in a unique way.” Bush added, “My daughter is turning 13. I wondered if there was a way to help her through the world she’s growing up in. There are songs on this album that are inspired by the idea of that conversation, and I hope they will speak to people of all ages, no matter who they are or what they’re facing in life.”

Sugarland also just wrapped a successful first leg of tour dates on their STILL THE SAME 2018 TOUR. The headline run kicked off in their home state of Georgia on May 25 and will crisscross its way through 49 cities in North America this summer. Brandy Clark and Clare Bowen will provide support through July 14, while Frankie Ballard and Lindsay Ell will join the lineup from July 19 through September 9. For tickets and a full list of dates, please see below or visit HERE. Reviews and reactions from the first few dates have already been glowing:

“[Sugarland] have always had an undeniable chemistry on stage and they’ve successfully recaptured that for their comeback Still The Same Tour…They’re not just up there performing, they actually look like they’re having the best time.” – The OC Register

“[A] bright, playful show” – Atlanta Journal Constitution

“No matter how much time has passed, the pair can, clearly, pick back up right where they left off.” – The Spokesman Review

Since the band’s inception in 2002, Sugarland has sold nearly 10 million albums domestically, earned seven No. 1 singles to date and amassed more than 330 million on-demand streams, making Sugarland one of the most popular Country music duos of all time.

Sugarland Returns With New Studio Album BIGGER On June 8

By on April 12, 2018 in In The Press

New Set is Available to Pre-Order on April 13

Track List Officially Unveiled Today

Will Perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! May 2GRAMMY® Award-winning superstar duo SUGARLAND announced their highly anticipated sixth studio album, titled BIGGER, will be released on June 8 and will become available for preorder on April 13. Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush co-wrote nearly all of the songs on the album, which was co-produced by Kristian, Jennifer, and Julian Raymond. The project’s lead single, “Still The Same,” is currently climbing the Country radio charts ahead of the duo’s spring-summer STILL THE SAME 2018 TOUR.

After taking a hiatus to pursue a series of high profile solo projects, BIGGER is the duo’s first new music in seven years and the first project under their new joint venture with Big Machine Records and UMG Nashville. It will be available to pre-order at digital retailers as well as the title track, “Bigger,” available to download on April 13.

As fans have come to expect from Sugarland, BIGGER embodies the musical spirit of the band: it contains tracks both uptempo and upbeat as well as powerful message songs that address specific issues facing the world. “Our hopefulness and our sparkiness and our joy is one of the things I think we do uniquely well, especially in the country format,” says Jennifer of the set’s sunnier material. “We offer that in a unique way.”

The bold graphics of the recently unveiled album cover conjure up images of a circus tent, representative of both that fun side and some of the more enigmatic content on the project, which was written over and influenced by the course of the past six months. “This album has a whole bunch of mystery,” says Kristian, who has been enjoying peeling back the layers of the production and the nuanced songwriting. “I’m listening to it every two days just to see what’s in it. I have entire pints of blood in that thing, but I still don’t know where it all came from, and I love that.”

Recently featured on the cover of USA Today’s Life section, the duo will give fans a taste of the new material when they appear on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! May 2.

Their STILL THE SAME 2018 TOUR kicks off May 25 and will visit 48 cities in the U.S. and Canada, but the duo has already delighted audiences in the U.K. with their new material, earning standing ovations during their performances at the C2C: Country to Country festival in March.

Since the band’s inception in 2002, Sugarland has sold nearly 10 million albums domestically, earned seven No. 1 singles to date and amassed more than 260 million on-demand streams, making Sugarland one of the most popular Country music duos of all time.

Lauded by Entertainment Weekly as one of the format’s “most successful and beloved acts,” both members of the duo say their time away from writing and recording together has only made them come back stronger and, yes, BIGGER.

“We have always enjoyed playing in the margins and stretching the format,” says Jennifer. “But it’s fun to have taken this time away and seen how the format has expanded and how music has evolved. Before, we were playing in the margins. Now, the margins have moved, and that’s fun to hear.”

“It’s not like we stopped creating with [2010 album] THE INCREDIBLE MACHINE,” adds Kristian. “We kept going, but like a good Netflix show you skipped seasons three and four and now you’re seeing season five and you’re reminded of why you loved it. We didn’t really hit pause on anything. We both got on treadmills that were even faster in some ways. But we made a promise to come back, and we kept that promise.”
