About the Artists:

Sugarland: Part of the country duo’s nationwide 2018 “Still the Same” tour, Sugarland will treat listeners to a long-awaited reunion of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. “Still the Same,” the first Sugarland single in seven years, was released in late 2017 and performed in New York City’s Times Square during a special New Year’s Eve performance. Since Sugarland’s inception in 2002, the band has earned seven No. 1 singles and amassed over 260 million on-demand streams. Their critical and mainstream appeal has been magnified with industry accolades – five consecutive CMA Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year (2007-2011), five ACM Awards (including Song of the Year and Single of the Year) and Grammy Awards for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best Country Song for “Stay” in 2008. That same year, Sugarland performed at the San Diego County Fair.
Jim Gaffigan: He’s a Grammy-nominated comedian, actor, writer, producer, two-time New York Times bestselling author, top touring performer and multi-platinum-selling father of five. He is known around the world for his unique brand of humor which largely revolves around fatherhood and his observations on life.
Little Big Town: Hot on the heels of their wildly successful album “Tornado,” Little Big Town’s prescription for continued success and creative drive is in their sixth album, “Pain Killer.” The two years since “Tornado’s” release have proven to be the most formative and motivational for the family of country artists, together since 1998. In the short time since “Tornado,” the artists earned two No. 1 hits with “Tornado” and “Pontoon,” a Grammy Award, two ACM Awards, three CMA Awards and an Emmy.
Larry the Cable Guy: He’s a multi-platinum recording artist, Grammy nominee, Billboard award winner and one of the top comedians in the country. Larry the Cable Guy has his own line of merchandise and continues to sell out theaters and arenas across the United States. He has created the “Git-R-Done” Foundation, which was named after his signature catchphrase, and he has donated more than $7 million to various charities.
Spirit West Coast: This Christian music festival will feature MercyMe, Kari Jobe, Phil Wickham, Blanca and The Young Escape. The Spirit West Coast festivals are single-day, multi-artist Christian music festivals that are presented in three California cities: Ontario (Inland Empire), Concord (Bay Area) and Del Mar (San Diego). 2018 is the 22nd anniversary year for the ministry.
Gabriel Iglesias: Born in Chula Vista, Calif., Gabriel Iglesias is one of America’s most successful stand-up comedians performing to sold-out crowds around the world. He has also had the distinct honor of being one of the few comedians to headline and sell out Madison Square Garden and the Microsoft Theater. Celebrating 20 years in standup, he is currently on his new tour “FluffyMania World Tour: 20 Years of Comedy.” His performances are a mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effects that bring his personal experiences to life.
