Jennifer Nettles to Perform at NAB Marconi Radio Awards Dinner and Show

Grammy Award-winner Jennifer Nettles will perform at the NAB Marconi Radio Awards Dinner & Show, sponsored by HD Radio, a DTS Solution, on Thursday, September 22. The event will take place at the 2016 Radio Show, held September 21-23 at the Omni Nashville Hotel and produced by the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB).

Nettles' second solo studio album "Playing With Fire" was released in May 2016 with its lead single, "Unlove You," continuing to climb the country music charts. The album came on the heels of a busy 2015, which saw Nettles embark on her headline Playing With Fire Tour, which hit 20+ cities with openers BRandy Clark and Ryan Kinder. Nettles also made her acting debut on NBC's critically-acclaimed and ratings success "Coat Of Many Colors" and returned to her hosting duties on ABC's "CMA Country Christmas Special."

Nettles emerged onto the music scene in 2004 as the lead vocalist of the international duo Sugarland. The band has earned eight number-one singles, over 22 million in worldwide record sales, and has received numerous awards from the Grammys, American Music Awards, The Academy of Country Music, The Country Music Association and CMT Music Awards.

"Jennifer Nettles is a truly phenomenal country music performer, with awards and accolades recognizing both her voice and songwriting abilities," said NAB Executive Vice President of Radio John David. "We thank Big Machine Label Group and Scott Borchetta for connecting us and look forward to what will surely be an unforgettable performance."
