Steel Magnolia - splits?



Word on the streets is that Steel Magnolia is "no longer performing as a duo." A post at TheBoot.com has also said that Steel Magnolia and Big Machine Records have parted ways.


The duo, consisting of Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones, made a splash in country music after winning the reality show "Can You Duet" and had pretty quick success with their debut single "Keep On Lovin' You."

Sugarland Splits....



Sugarland, in the past, has referenced that they would be alright with solo projects. A source is now claiming that Jennifer Nettles and Christian Bush will spend most the year of 2012 apart professionally.

Rumors have a new solo project that Christian is working on at Mercury Records. Sugarland had and extremely tough year especially after the stage collapse in Indiana.

Even though the duo has yet to officially confirm alternate 2012 plans they won’t be totally apart for 2012 as they currently have 6 2012 dates on the agenda according to their website http://www.sugarlandmusic.com/events.
