We have our two of three country music nights at Summerfest 2011. If Don Smiley books a fourth country music act this year, I think he better change the name of the festival. Sugarland will be closing out the festival. Toby Keith is playing on July 2nd. Katy Perry is July 7.
Sugarland tickets for Summerfest have not gone on sale yet. Dare I dream aobu t Summerfest while we are still digging out from the worst snow storm since 1999? Yes, it's the only way to get through this winter.
Sugarland is comprised of two people: Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. They are more pop than country when they play songs like Stuck Like Glue, but they do wear cowboy hats from time to time, and there is some mandolin playing at their shows. I would guess that a steel guitar is on stage, and somebody is playing it. They have five numer one singles going back to 2006. The have been nominated for almost 60 awards in the past eight years.
