Sugarland puts its tour in hands of fans
. Specific guidelines and instructions coming soon on the band's web site.
The 25-plus dates will feature openers Lauren Alaina and Canaan Smith in select cities.
"This year's tour is based around the concept of putting the show into the hands of the fans," said Nettles. "They will make the requests that will help form the set list and guide the show. Through texts, handwritten signs, the Internet, phone calls made during the show and selections directly (via) the stage, the fans will become the conductors as well as the audience. If it's on one of our records, or if we've played it on a stage, it is fair game."

CD reviews for Sugarland
It almost goes without saying that in today's fickle music world you have to constantly be atop your game, generating new content lest your listeners move on to the next selection in their Spotify shuffle. Thus, artists can't be content with dropping a new album every year or two and resting on their past accomplishments; now they've got to churn out EP's, live recordings and more to keep their audience satiated and satisfied. Realizing this truth, country duo Sugarland fights ...
Sugarland is back with "Bigger," its first studio album in nearly a decade. And its arrival says more about branding, than anything else. Although his voice is heard often enough on this album to make his presence felt, it's still difficult to get away from seeing Kristian Bush in the Oates to Hall or Ridgeley to Michael role in this duo. Jennifer Nettles is the act's primary focus. However, Nettles plays theaters on tour, while Sugarland fills stadiums, making it a commercial no-brainer. ...
"The Incredible Machine" is a rather unfortunate title for Sugarland's latest full-length.
