Details: Platinum-selling country star and Streamsound recording artist Kristian Bush talks with CMT about the stories and inspiration behind the songs from his debut solo album SOUTHERN GRAVITY. Released earlier this week (4/7), the new album has already received rave reviews from The Boston Globe and The Sydney Morning Herald, and Country Weekly is calling it the ‘feel-good album of the year.’ Check out a preview of the upcoming episode here, http://www.cmt.com/news/1752965/kristian-bush-releases-debut-solo-album/.

Bush has been leaving his mark on music for more than two decades. The singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist started his career with folk-rock duo Billy Pilgrim in the early ‘90s, releasing a much-lauded pair of albums for Atlantic Records (self-titled debut and BLOOM). In 2004, he exploded onto the country music scene with Sugarland, surpassing sales of over 22 million albums worldwide, achieving five No. 1 singles and winning numerous awards, including GRAMMYs, AMAs, ACMs, CMT Music Awards and CMAs. To date, Bush has garnered six BMI Awards for his songwriting, and in 2011 he founded the music publishing company and songwriting collective Songs of the Architect, collaborating with Matt Nathanson, the dB’s, Martin Johnson of Boys Like Girls, Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale and more.

Bush is currently on the road with his headline PUT YOUR SOUL IN IT TOUR with upcoming stops in Arlington, TX (4/17), Atlanta, GA (5/16) and Baton Rouge, LA (5/23). For more information and tour dates, visit www.kristianbush.com
