Attic Community Playground Writing Workshop

Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 1:30 PM

From the pen of Jennifer Nettles

Hello Sugar Cubes!

As many of you know, I am a big proponent of the arts and I support a non-profit called Attic Community Playground (ACP). Below is a link, sharing with you the latest activity for ACP. Fellow Atlanta artist, Shawn Mullins, is also a volunteer with ACP. Many of you may know Shawn as the singer-songwriter with such radio hits as "Lullaby" and "Shimmer". However, in addition to being a solo artist with 18 albums of material, Shawn is also an incredibly talented and experienced songwriter. (For example, Shawn is a co-writer on Zac Brown's song "Toes.")


Back in January, Shawn was inspired to host a songwriting workshop for ACP while he was touring in Texas. Check out the video below to see what Shawn has been up to in ACP, and in his workshop. Pretty cool stuff!

 

Love,

Jennifer

    Very cool. I love the Atlanta music scene even if I do live way up here in upstate NY. I have been a fan of Sean Mullins for years. I had know Idea he cowrote "toes" with ZBB but it makes perfect sense. Thanks Jen you are the most incredible woman in the world except maybe for my wife ;-)

  1. The latest episode of the 'In Your Hands Rewind' series is here, and of course we saved the machine for last. Watch Sugarland perform a LIVE version of 'Incredible Machine' from our 2012 "In Your Hands" tour.

     

    Buy the complete album of 'Incredible Machine' here.

     

  2. Take another look into the 2012 "In Your Hands" Tour with our very own Kristian Bush. In this video Kristian performs a special rendition of Bruce Springsteen's 'Atlantic City' by putting his own Sugarland spin on the classic song.

     

    'Atlantic City' has been covered by great acts such as The Band, Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, and Counting Crows. At the Sugarland shows, this one is always a crowd favorite, always a highlight of the night and simultaneously one of Kristian's most beloved moments on stage each and every show. Watch the video below and find out why! 

     

  3. It's a new year and a new day! With everything changing, the only place to go is onwards and upwards. In Kristian's words below he resolves to "dream bigger."

     

    Find out what other plans are in store for Kristian in 2013 in his New Year's Resolutions after the jump!

     

  4. The Holidays really are Jennifer & Kristian's favorite time of the year, and we want to share their well wishes with you in the video below!

     

    Here's to hoping we all were on Santa's nice list, and that the year 2013 is filled with more joy, love and laughter than the ones before. Happy Holidays!

     

  5. Last week we brought you one step closer to being onstage, and today we're taking you by the hand and showing you what it's like to be backstage before the show even begins.

     

    Travel back in time with us to the 'In Your Hands' show in Atlanta, GA and watch as Jennifer, Kristian and ABC's Duets' John Glosson practice the fan favorite and one of the highest requested singles of the tour - 'Stay'.
