(August 27, 2015) – Grammy-nominated country superstar Jennifer Nettles announced today that she has signed to Big Machine Records and will release a new single this October and has set her next solo album for early 2016 release. In addition, she will embark on the headlining “Playing With Fire” tour which will cross 20 plus cities beginning this October with Brandy Clark and Ryan Kinder.

“This is somewhat full-circle as I was at UMG Nashville as SVP/Promo when then-President Luke Lewis presented a disc of ‘this new band we’ve signed - pick a single,’” said Scott Borchetta, President and CEO of Big Machine Records. “I was floored with Sugarland then and I’m floored with all things Jennifer now. She’s simply one of the best female voices to ever grace Country Music and I can’t wait for the world to hear her new music. Get. Ready.”

“I am so thrilled and honored to join the Big Machine family,” said Nettles. “They are truly the best in the business. I loved working with Scott years ago, in the beginning of my career, and have been waiting for the right opportunity to get to work with him again! I’m so happy that day has arrived and I look forward to our exciting new adventures to come.”

Fan pre-sale begins on Wednesday, Sept. 2nd followed by a Ticketmaster pre-sale on Thursday, Sept. 3rd with tickets on sale to the general public beginning Friday, September 4th. Please check JenniferNettles.com for additional details.
