Sugarland: “Tony” (Sugarl& live)

Sugarland has always been a band that believes in reaching people through their hearts. Our songs are meant to be shared stories. Our shows have always been places where you are welcome no matter what kind of music you enjoy, what you look like, where you are from, or how or who you love. Simply speaking everyone is welcome here, you & you & you & you. Our music is intended for everyone’s ears. We are using the & (ampersand) in our logo to express and remind everyone that there is acceptance for all here in this place we have created called Sugarl&.
Right in step with the messaging of our latest album “Bigger” and as huge supporters of the LGBTQ community, we wanted to celebrate pride month during our live show. “Tony”, written by Patty Griffin is a confronting song about a gay, teen suicide. We wanted to play the song and raise awareness among our fanbase about the impact of hate speech and the importance of supporting LGBTQ kids. We contacted our friends at the Human Rights Campaign to supply us with the appropriate messaging to enhance the performance. We hope it touches hearts, possibly changes minds and that our #LGBTQ fans, friends and family know they are loved, supported and celebrated. Happy #Pride!
