is she want to rock, she rocks

I'm a huge fan of Sugarland, and an even bigger fan of their lead singer, Jennifer Nettles. The group itself is mix between folk, country and pop. You can definitely hear the bluegrass/folk roots in their music but they also have the ability to take any song and turn it country (Irreplaceable by Beyonce and Come on Get Higher by Matt Nathanson).



Jennifer's style is a constant reminder of what I want to look like. She's beautiful. It's a eclectic mix of preppy, girly and comfy that makes her gorgeous and fun. She's also a total goof ball and knows how to have a good time, a quality I think everyone should possess. But my favorite thing about her is her ability to do what she wants and still be a girly-girl about it. She has tattoos in places most women don't (inside of her bicep and outside of her wrist) and although she usually hides them, she isn't ashamed. And she'll dance on stage and look like a total dork, but smiles while doing it.

So this summer, Sugarland is touring with Eric Hutchinson. I had no idea who he was, so I looked him up. I quickly fell in love. I downloaded his album almost immediately and for some reason, his first single "Rock & Roll" seemed familiar to me. His music is a cross between Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson; it's a little bit acoustic, a little bit pop-y and little bit country. It's fun to dance to and would be perfect party music. I listen to his album while driving, cleaning my house, showering, sitting on the beach - it's versatile, which is a great quality for music to have.

And if you enjoy "Rock & Roll," you should check out "You Don't Have to Believe Me." It's my absolute favorite song and it's totally dance-able.
