Sugarland Rising

Atlanta’s Sugarland is on a roll. The band — Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush — won the vocal duo of the year award at last week’s Country Music Association Awards and their current single “Stay” is a Top 20 country hit. The pair’s platinum sophomore album, “Enjoy the Ride,” jumped from No. 28 to No. 13 on the latest Billboard 200 album chart, likely a direct result of the duo’s appearance on the CMA show.
Now they’ll be performing on the Sunday, Nov. 18, telecast of the American Music Awards show, so they might get another boost from that.
Do you have any special memories of these local musicians made good? Remember a particularly fine Jennifer Nettles Band show, or a fine show from Bush’s days in Billy Pilgrim? Or how about those early Sugarland gigs, when Kristen Hall was still in the mix?
Regina Spektor cancels tonight’s show

New York singer-songwriter Regina Spektor has postponed tonight’s show at the Tabernacle downtown. Atlanta radio station Dave FM announced Thursday afternoon that the vocalist, currently on the road promoting her new album “Begin to Hope,” collapsed on stage at the Ryman Auditorium during a performance in Nashville Wednesday night. Spektor has rescheduled her Atlanta show for Dec. 5 at the Tabernacle. Tickets for tonight’s show will be honored on that date.
