Sugarland Is Really 'Enjoying The Ride' During Their Album Release Week

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Multi-platinum Sugarland is realizing that they indeed chose the perfect title for their sophomore album, ENJOY THE RIDE. The November 7th release has been accompanied with a week full of radio promotions, TV appearances and live performances all leading up to a homecoming concert in Atlanta.

"It's a good thing we named the record 'ENJOY THE RIDE' because this has been a wild one," exclaimed lead singer Jennifer Nettles. "In two weeks we've done five cities in five days for radio promotion, been on Good Morning America, performed on the CMA's, met and performed on The Martha Stewart Show (we HAVE to go back and make a craft), and are going to Atlanta for our first homecoming show in two years! Oh, but what a sweet ride it is!"

Sugarland will perform at the HiFi Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta on November 10th and are thrilled to be going home.

"Last time we played Atlanta it was 500 people in the club down the street, said Kristian Bush. "Our friends aren't going to believe that now we're playing the amphitheatre down the street. I'm just thrilled to be able to drive my car to the show!"

Next week, Sugarland heads back to New York for more television appearances including a special performance on Sesame Street.

"Want To," the album's first single, is poised to repeat the group's previous success as it has garnered a Hot Shot Debut, Greatest Gainer and Most Airplay Adds a week prior to its August 7 release. "Want To" currently sits at #4 on both the R&R/Billboard and Media Base Charts.
