The country band Sugarland, which is scheduled to kick off Les Schwab Amphitheater’s 2009 Bend Summer Concerts series on July 30, canceled two shows in California over the weekend so that lead singer Jennifer Nettles could rest her voice. Here’s Nettles explaining the whole thing:
That announcement might strike fear in the hearts of Central Oregon’s Sugarland fans who remember that the band was supposed to play the Schwab two years ago, but canceled at the last minute because Nettles was sick.
I e-mailed Monqui Presents — the company that books the amphitheater shows — to find out if they’re concerned about the Bend date. As far as they know, it’s still happening, according to a spokesman.
But this seems to be a recurring thing with Sugarland, so I think this is worth watching, and I’ll be doing just that. Stay tuned.
