Sugarland is an American country music duo composed of two singer-songwriters: Jennifer Nettles (lead vocals) and Kristian Bush (harmony vocals, mandolin, guitar), both from Atlanta, Georgia. The group was founded in 2003 by Kristen Hall (harmony vocals, guitar), also a singer-songwriter from Atlanta; she left the group in 2006, and Sugarland has performed as a duo since. All three members were regulars on Atlanta's folk-rock scene in the 1990s and early 2000s prior to Sugarland's formation, playing frequently at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia, which Nettles' husband owned for a time. Nettles had played in a band called Soul Miner's Daughter, later forming her own Jennifer Nettles Band. Bush was half of the folk-rock duo Billy Pilgrim, and Hall had a solo career that often crossed paths with the Indigo Girls.

Sugarland was signed to Mercury Nashville Records in 2003. Their debut single, "Baby Girl", was released that year, eventually setting a record for the longest chart run on the Billboard country charts since the inception of Nielsen SoundScan in 1990. Since Hall's departure in 2006, Sugarland has performed as a duo. To date, Sugarland has released two studio albums, in addition to charting eight singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. The duo is also the 2007 winner of the Country Music Association's Duo of the Year award.

Sugarland’s Kristian Bush recalls his reaction when fans first started to sing along to their songs in concert. “I’d seek those people out and give them a guitar pick,” he says with a laugh. “Now I don’t have near enough picks.” That’s what happens when the world falls in love with your music. It’s already been a year of extraordinary firsts for Sugarland, the chart-topping singer-songwriter duo of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. For starters, their Mercury Nashville debut,
