Take a listen to "You and I" and see what you think!

Serious Questions About The Sugarland Stage Collapse

Chadwick Benefield — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 20:03:55 +0000

I was at The Boiler Room Saturday night . . . waiting patiently for Jaclyn to take the stage . . . when news broke about Sugarland's stage collapsing at the Indiana State Fair. It didn't take long at all for video footage to make its way to You Tube, so we were passing our smartphones around so just about everyone in the crowd could see what happened. The footage was startling. I have probably been to a hundred concerts or so in my time and have emceed many of them. I have walked on stages, just like that one, dozens of times. In fact, I've stood on stages, just like that one, and have watched storms blow in and send crowds running for cover. I think that's why I have been so fascinated with this recent tragedy. I just can't quit watching the video clips and reading eyewitness accounts of what happened. But, because I have been so obsessed with this tragedy at the Indiana State Fair, I have noticed some serious problems with the stories about what really happened. The more people talk, the more information that comes to light, it is growing more and more evident that somebody, somewhere, dropped the ball.

A Little Bit Country, a Little Bit Rock & Roll

Dave Spencer — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 05:23:34 +0000

Recently, after playing Sugarland's cool new song "Tonight," I mentioned how much I enjoyed their performance of that song on the recent Academy of Country Music Awards. And then I went on to say I wasn't sure why Rihanna later joined the duo's Jennifer Nettles for a performance of her big pop hit "California King Bed." It's a good song. And Rihanna is enjoying a stellar pop/r&b music career. More power to her. But it just all seemed so random.

Swift Approval

Dave Spencer — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 06:04:23 +0000

Other than a solid performance of her latest hit "Mean," Taylor Swift had kept a fairly low profile during last night's 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. And then up jumped the devil--as my dad used to say; there was Taylor walking up the stairs to accept her Entertainer of the Year award. As we all know, timing is everything.
