When Sugarland duo Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush hit the stage, playing uplifiting songs including "Settlin," "All I Want to Do," and "It Happens," it is evident that the chart-topping country music duo is on a "mission of good cheer," according to a report by Great American Country (GAC).

The duo follows in the footsteps of Wynonna and Naomi Judd, who delivered a message of hope to fans at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville earlier this month.

"Our goal has always been, since we put this band together, to reach as many people as we can with what we're saying," Bush said to GAC. "I think what's happening is we're moving from a culture of acquisition of things into a culture of acquisition of meaning."

Naomi and Wynonna Judd have worked through their own fears. Naomi tackled a Heptatitis in 1990, as she entered a new life as a parent and a public figure. Wynonna did the same as she stepped into a solo career, according to GAC.

Nettles and Bush have their own fears, as is normal with any artist. Acccording to GAC, the two have been supportive to each other as friends and performers, and the bond they share has helped them overcome those fears and grow as performers.
