On this week’s episode of Stories Behind the Songs, we are joined by Kristian Bush. You may know Kristian from the band Sugarland, his production skills on Lindsey Ell’s records, or maybe you’ve listened to his solo work. This week you’ll learn it all as we dive into the life and career of one of music's most versatile and talented artists. From his early days raised in music on the Suzuki method to his adventures in rock, country, and beyond, Kristian Bush has stories that are as diverse as his music. 

You’re going to hear all about Kristian’s first record deal at the age of 22, how he managed to keep a record deal throughout the entirety of his music career, his introduction to Jennifer Nettles and the origins of Sugarland, the work he has done producing other artists, and the musical adventures he found himself in throughout the years.  

You’ll hear the stories behind “All I Want To Do”, “Baby Girl”, and “Babe” as well as the twists and turns of Kristian’s career both within and outside of Sugarland. Kristian is such an icon in the music industry but also manages to be an extremely kind and humble guy. He is now doing some work with “Jawaiin” music – which you will hear all about in this week’s episode – and is continuing to broaden his experience and learn as much as he can from others. We hope you enjoyed this episode as much as we did!
