Sugarlnd’s sweet success continues with 6 CMA nominations, including Entertainer of the Year. The duo received 5 nominations, while Jennifer Nettles received a sixth nomination as the songwriter for “Stay.” The nominations include Entertainer Of The Year, Vocal Duo Of The Year, Single, Song & Video Of The Year for “Stay” and Musical Event Of The Year for their “Life In A Northern Town” collaboration with Little Big Town and Jake Owen.
Jennifer Nettles said, “I almost spilt my tea this morning as I was watching and the nominations kept being added. Being in the ‘Entertainer Of The Year’ category is such an honor. We’ve been lucky enough to be out on the road with Kenny Chesney for a couple of tours over the last two years. Looks like rock by osmosis really does work!”
Kristian Bush continued, “I just finished watching the nomination announcements on TV from my sofa at home and it is simultaneously humbling and encouraging to be in such amazing company as we are in all of the categories. It is one thing to play shows every week of the year and imagine ourselves striving to become Entertainers of the Year and another thing all together to have the voting members of the CMA believe that it is possible. Simply awesome.”
Sugarland’s Love On The Inside Tour kicks off September 13, 2008 in Asheville, North Carolina.
The 42nd Annual CMA Awards will be held Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at the Sommet Center in Nashville and broadcast on ABC
