In Your Hands: Virginia Beach, April 26

Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 8:00 PM

Maybe it was the rain leading up to the show or maybe it was that Virginia Beach breeze...whatever it was there was something special in the air last night.

 

Somehow, right before the show started we ended up with extra Sugarpit tickets! We were able to make some Sugarpeeps with lawn tickets very very happy by surprising them with tickets up front!

 

And while we're on the subject of surprises, the second most requested song on the website was none other than Def Leppard's classic "Pour Some Sugar on Me". What can we say? When you request it we play it!

 

We're dying to know, what did you think about 11 year old (yes we said 11 year old) Alana Springsteen who came on stage with us to sing "Baby Girl"? Pretty impressive right? We're big fans too!

 

 

 

 

Were you in Virginia Beach with us last evening? Sound off in the comments and tell us about your night!

    Always a pleasure to work with you and your crew when you come to Va Beach! What a special treat to surprise us with little 11 year old Alana! I shared her website with my 6th graders the next day to show them that dreams do come true and to always DREAM BIG! What great mentors you are! Great show!!! Come see us again soon!

    Wasn't at that concert, was in Toledo and am waiting for Atlantic City and Cinci, but how fabulous for that girl to be able to sing with you guys. That had to be the best time of her life. That will be a memory she will never forget. You guys are absolutely fantastic for doing that. That it why your fans are the best in the world. Can't wait to see you again.

    My husband and I live in the upper part of Newport News, VA, and had tickets to the show. With no traffic, it takes us at least an hour to drive to the amphitheater. With traffic, it takes as much as two hours if not more. So to have plenty of time to make it to the concert, I took off from work early. We left at 3:30 and arrived at 4:45. It was then that I realized that I had forgetten the tickets (big dummy award winner hands down). After plenty of cussing, we drove back home expecting a 2 hour drive because of the time of day. Somehow, I managed to make the drive in 1 hour. Amazing! We grabbed the tickets and headed back. Again, it only took 1 hour. It was unbelievable that we made it there with time to spare. Concerning Dave Stewart, between the beer and my husband we were convinced that it was Kristian Bush messing around. It was not until later that we realized it was actually Dave Stewart (haven't seen him since the 80s). As for Sugarland, this was the 5th time seeing you and probably the best yet. Enjoyed the concert big time! Sugarland - you all are "Irreplacable". Take care always.

    I was one of the lucky people that got put passes for free!!! A woman came up to me and my group in the lawn and asked if we would like them! All 5 of us! It was the best surprise:) thank you so much! The concert was amazing!! I had an amazing time! I couldn't have asked for a better performance! You guys did great. I love your enthusiasm and the way you interact with the fans. It is something a lot of performers don't do and it is very much appreciated! That was the best concert I've ever been to. Thank so much for the passes and the show! See you guys again next tour:)

    This is a great photograph of the band.I would purchase it if it becomes available.The something special in the air was of course Jennifer's voice and that super cool fantastically talented group of musicians behind her headed by Mr. Kristian Bush!(Please don't tell Kristian I named a plant in my backyard after him.....I call it .....Bush!) Only Sugarland would give Sugarpit tickets to fans with lawn tickets!!! Do you think they love their fans? Oh I don;t know.....LET ME THINK ABOUT THAT FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND! I believe they do love them.Going to a Sugarland concert with lawn tickets is better than not going to a Sugarland concert!!! I wasn't there last night because I am in California and I have fields to keep.DARN!!!!!!! If Jennifer is impressed by 11 year old Alana then she is going to be great some day soon.(how exciting is that?) I love the song "Pour some Sugar on Me." That is why I go to Sugarland shows.(FOR THE SUGAR!!!) It;s addicting as all fans know first hand! Just ask the fans in Charlotte tonight.They are blessed to have Sugarland with them! I wish I was there.I "bet" it is going to be FANtastic!!!....Love.....John

  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'.
