The demographic can be more conservative, but that is such a fantastic opportunity for people like me and Kristian and for other artists who are similarly open hearted, who share similar beliefs, similar themes, to impact people. At the end of the day, you can preach to the choir all you want, but if you’re in the demographic who is already open and who already has heard these messages, you can’t evoke that much change. Really where the opportunity lies is in sharing messages that may invite people to see something differently and to hear it differently, and to see it in a more open way. As a country artist, that is such a fantastic opportunity I find myself in, especially during these times. So then, if I ask you the question, “Can music change the world?”... I think it could do a damn fine job of it, Eileen. I really think in a sense that’s what our art helps us do. It is here to help us prompt this and digest and synthesize all of these crazy feelings and messages and constant information. Everyone’s screaming at each other on Twitter— it’s quite corrosive, all of it. It’s very toxic in many ways. So I think that art and music most specifically have a direct line to the heart. I definitely think it could do a good job in changing the world, because it can change hearts, and that’s where it all starts. That’s an awesome answer! I’d like to talk about the tour for a moment. Will you be visiting overseas, or is this a stateside tour? We went over to the U.K. actually in March. We had three dates over there. We did London, Dublin and then we did Glasgow. Right now, this tour, this summer, we are specifically domestic, just in the U.S. We started Memorial Day, and we will be going through Labor Day. PHOTO CREDIT: COLE CASSELL
We are actually doing two dates in Canada, but otherwise everything else is in the U.S. We are not quite halfway through, and will be at it into September. Is there anything else that you’d like to add that we haven’t spoken of? I don’t think so, other than to say that when I perform this song, and when I see people connect with it, when we start talking about it in the context of “‘everyone is welcome at Sugarland,” and what the song is about, and the artist, or when I see someone connect or people that actually have the equality t-shirt on—when I see the connection, I am just so heart warmed, and so moved by that. It makes all of the traveling and everything else worth it. This is what it’s about, touching people. Are you engaged in any new projects at the moment? You know what, we have a new record out. It just came out; it’s called “Bigger.” So we’re going to be promoting that throughout the summer tour. <strong>Out</strong>side of Sugarland I’ve got some things in the works in the Broadway community that I’m not at liberty to fully speak about, but I’m super excited! When I do, you will be getting the information.
