Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush make up country duo Sugarland who
exploded onto the music scene in '04 with multi-platinum selling album
Twice The Speed Of Life, which gave birth to mega hits "Baby Girl" and
"Something More". Their second album Enjoy the Ride has sold over two
million copies and spawned #1 hits with "Want To," "Settlin'" and
"Stay". Their third studio album, Love On The Inside was released July
'08 and has sold over a million copies to date. Both singles released
thus far off of the album "All I Want To Do" and "Already Gone" reached
the #1 spot on the charts. They have received trophies from the American
Music Awards for "Breakthrough Favorite New Artist," the Academy of
Country Music for "New Duo/Group of the Year," Single Record of the
Year" ("Stay"), and "Song of the Year" ("Stay"), Country Music
Television for "Collaborative Video of the Year" and "Duo Video of the
Year," and the Country Music Association for "Vocal Duo of the Year" and
"Duo Video of the Year" ("Stay"). Sugarland recently won a Grammy for
"Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals" for "Stay"
while Jennifer picked up her second Grammy for "Best Country Song" also
for "Stay". Nettles won her first Grammy in '07 for her collaboration
with Bon Jovi for their #1 hit "Who Says You Can't Go Home".
Billy Currington debuted in '03 with the powerful Top 10 hit "Walk A
Little Straighter", followed by the Top 5 smash "I Got A Feelin'". He
went on to duet with Shania Twain on "Party for Two" and quickly earned
notoriety, a devoted fan base and platinum sales status. Sophomore
album Doin' Somethin' Right debuted at #2 on the country charts and
further delivered with the hits. "Good Directions" and "Must Be Doin'
Somethin' Right" snagged him his first and second #1 singles.
Currington's third album Little Bit Of Everything garnered critical
acclaim and debuted at #2 on the country charts. Currington recently
acquired his third #1 with "Don't'", the first single off of his new
album; the second single, "People Are Crazy" goes to radio on March 2nd.
Matt Nathanson's current single "Come On Get Higher" from his latest
album, Some Mad Hope, is an RIAA Certified Gold single, having sold
743,000 track downloads and continuing to sell 20,000 more a week. The
song was named iTunes #2 Pop Song of 2008 and currently has 14 million
plays on MySpace, and 1.5 million views on YouTube.com. In addition to
being a VH1 You Oughta Know artist, Matt recently performed the song on
The Late Show with David Letterman and will perform it again on The
Ellen Degeneres Show on March 2nd. "Come On Get Higher" is a favorite
of Sugarland's, so much so they included a cover of the track on their
album Love On The Inside (Deluxe Fan Edition).
Eric Hutchinson originally released his debut album, Sounds Like This,
on his own label - Let's Break Records - and he's been breaking records
ever since. The album debuted at #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and
peaked at #5 on iTunes' album chart, becoming the highest-charting album
by an unsigned act in iTunes history. He then signed to Warner Bros.
Records, which promptly reissued the album. First single "Rock & Roll"
climbed to #1 on the AAA chart. Hutchinson was selected as a VH1 "You
Oughta Know" artist and has appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "The Bonnie Hunt Show" and "The
Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson."
Since releasing his debut album, Startin' With Me, RCA Nashville
recording artist Jake Owen has celebrated four consecutive hit singles
including Top 15 debut single, "Yee Haw," the Top 10 "Startin' With Me,"
the Top 15 "Something About A Woman," and his most recent Top 10 "Don't
Think I Can't Love You." In the past year Jake received nominations for
his first Country Music Association (CMA) Award and GRAMMY Award for the
song "Life in a Northern Town" (with Sugarland and Little Big Town).
Jake is also currently nominated for "Best Vocal Collaboration" and "Top
New Male Vocalist" at the 44th Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM).
His sophomore album, Easy Does It, hit stores on February 24, 2009.
