Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush make up country duo Sugarland who have sold more than eight million records since exploding onto the music scene in 2004 with Twice The Speed Of Life (“Baby Girl”/“Something More”). Enjoy the Ride (“Want To”/“Settlin’”/“Stay”) quickly followed in 2006 and their third studio album Love On The Inside (“It Happens”/“Love”/“All I Want To Do”/“Already Gone”) in July 2008, which skyrocketed them to superstardom, drawing fans from all genres and critics abroad. Sugarland is credited with co-writing all tracks from all three albums and co-producing the last two.

As a thank you to their loyal fans, in August 2009 the duo released Live On The Inside, a CD/DVD set of live tracks, covers and footage from their tour. They have performed in six European countries and headlined a U.S. tour throughout 2009 and received trophies from the Grammys, American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music, CMT Music Awards and the Country Music Association. Nettles was chosen to perform for the Obama Presidential celebration, as well as the duo for Oprah. In August 2009, ABC aired an hour-long network special featuring the duo in their most beloved setting...on stage.

Their latest album Gold And Green, a 10-track holiday collection consisting of half standards and half originals, all of which Nettles and Bush co-wrote and co-produced was a Christmas sensation. Most recently, the duo received a nomination for “Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals” for the number one smash hit “It Happens” at the 2010 Grammy Awards.

Little Big Town will release their new album The Reason Why on August 24. The lead single “Little White Church” is currently Top 15 and climbing. Their sophomore CD, critically-acclaimed A Place to Land included the Grammy nominated song “Life in a Northern Town.” The band released the Platinum-selling record, The Road to Here, in 2005 and in 2007 they were awarded Academy of Country Music’s Top New Vocal Group honor.

Randy Montana is the son of singer-songwriter Billy Montana, who has written number one singles for Garth Brooks, Jo Dee Messina and Sara Evans. In March 2010, Montana released his debut single “Ain’t Much Left of Lovin’ You.” The song peaked at number 36 on the Billboard U.S. Country Songs charts.
