Sugarlands Kristian Bush Podcast Interview
Country music hitmaker Sugarland comes to Roanoke Friday
The successful band playing Roanoke on Friday is aiming for pop domination.
By Tad Dickens
There’s no room for doubt that Sugarland — after five years, three platinum-selling albums and armloads of major music awards — is a country music success.
So it’s kind of funny to hear band member Kristian Bush say the band is “still waiting” for its “big chance.”
He’s dead serious, though. Bush and Sugarland partner Jennifer Nettles want a heaping helping of pop music domination, too. There’s just one problem, Bush said: The act has had crossover chart success throughout its career, but has felt nothing but “awkward resistance” from pop radio.
“We believe that what we do, it doesn’t really matter what you call it,” said Bush, whose band hits the Roanoke Civic Center Coliseum on Friday night. “And I don’t really think that we’re mad about it. I just think you have to be patient … [waiting for the] word of mouth that spreads when people listen to our music and go: ‘Man this is good, I want to play it for you. I want to play this record for you. I want you to hear this.’”
