Sugarland’s Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles are nominees in two categories at tonight’s Grammy Awards.

In January 2004, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a roundup of some local acts to watch in the coming year. Among them was Sugarland.
At the time, then-member Kristen Hall said this about the band’s songs: “I want to hear them in Wal-Mart. I want to hear them on the ringtone of somebody’s phone over there.”
That mission was soon accomplished. But four years later, Hall is no longer part of the band she helped start with Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles.
Despite setbacks, the band has gone from strength to strength and is once again a Grammy contender.
Still, the oft-awarded band has yet to secure that trophy.
Tonight could be its night, though, as it is up for both country performance by a duo or group with vocals and country collaboration with vocals.
As the duo reaches for this possible new milestone, let’s look back at the short but still quite strange trip of Sugarland.
