George Strait is the Texan of the Year…
Sugarland confirms new music and a tour…

Of course we knew George Strait is the King, but now he's also Texan of the Year. 
The Texas Legislative Conference will honor him for his work in raising funds for victims of Hurricane Harvey. George will get the award on March 22nd. 

Sugarland will be back with new music by the end of this month, even more next year and they will tour in 2018 -- and they say it's like riding a bike. Jennifer and Kristian said they were never breaking up when they decided to do solo projects, but as the years passed, fans and they themselves started wondering if they'd ever make music together again, and if they could. Not to worry though, Kristian says it felt like no time had passed when they got together to write. 2018 seems to be the year for Sugar!
