Sugarland: The Incredible Machine Mar 14, 2011

Jennifer Nettles' voice can hold its own in any setting but exceeds expectations alongside partner Kristian Bush's mandolin strumming at the Grainger Studio. During this sensational hour, Sugarland presents a versatile set that gains momentum with each song. "Joey" is heartbreakingly sincere, "Everyday America" reveals strong, twangy vocals while broken-down acoustics give "Stay" a more traditional country sound. Their forte is to effortlessly transition from energetic pop songs to heartfelt, soulful ballads without skipping a beat. The dynamic duo also present older classics like "Baby Girl" and even venture into covers of R.E.M to pay homage to shared Atlanta roots during their set.
