Sugarland’s Kristian Bush performs annual solo show
Both members of super-group Sugarland kept plenty busy over the weekend. Lead singer Jennifer Nettles made waves in the country music community this morning with the announcement that she tied the knot with longtime BF (and former model!) Justin Miller.
Meanwhile, the other half of the duo, Kristian Bush, focused on more music related endeavors, playing his annual solo show at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA. Bush was joined onstage by longtime friend and collaborator Ellis Paul and Bush’s real-life brother and musician in the SugarBand, Brandon.
The show was a bit different than an average SugarShow. The stage was smaller, the setlist was a bit more varied and, as Bush learned the hard way, a guitar tech was NOT in the house when one of his strings broke during the first song.
Sugarland’s official site hinted at the possiblility of show audio next week, but until then check out the full set lists (including some incredible sounding mash-ups!) after the jump:
Jennifer Nettles Surprise Wedding
Congratulations goes out to Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles on her marriage this weekend in Tennesee. People magazine is reporting that Jennifer officially tied the knot to Justin Miller in a quiet sunset ceremony. She wore an Alexander McQueen gown on her big day that was a private affair with her family and closest friends, including band-mate Kristian Bush, at the celebration.
Justin, a former model, appeared in Sugarland’s 2006 “Want To” music video. The pair had been dating for over two years.
Sugarland is performing Wednesday at the Grammy Nominations Concert on CBS.
Sugarland Planning Mini Break
Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush of Sugarland have announced plans to take a small break from the spotlight after a long year for the duo. They will take a few months away from their careers as they prepare to record a follow up album to the “Incredible Machine.”
“We’re in the writing – actually, we’re in the resting process. Let’s be really frank. We just got off tour two weeks ago after two years of being on the Incredible Machine Tour, and obviously after quite a tumultuous year, to say the least, we are taking a few months just to chill and relax and sleep in our own beds and contemplate how we want to approach what’s next,” says Jennifer.
Sugarland just won the Country Music Association (CMA) award for Duo Of The Year at last week’s award show. What do you want to see from them on their new album?

CMA Awards Announce First Round Of Presenters
The Country Music Association announced today its first round of presenters for the 45th annual Country Music Association (CMA) Awards. Lauren Alaina, Dierks Bentley, Laura Bell Bundy, Billy Currington, Kellie Pickler, Jake Owen, Reba McEntire, and Leann Rimes are the first group of presenters for the award show on November 9th.

Sugarland Added To Grammy Nominations Concert
Sugarland have been added to the lineup for “The GRAMMY Nominations Concert LIVE – Countdown To Music’s Biggest Night.” They’ll join the previously announced Jason Aldean in representing country music at the one-hour television special. The Grammys nomination concert airs live on CBS at 10 pm EST on November 30th, and host LL Cool J will help announced the nominees for the 2012 Grammy Awards. With all the country music performers announced so far, I have a feeling country music is going to hit it big at this upcoming award show.
