Sugarland spreads the 'Love' with fall tour

Country duo Sugarland , which is in the middle of a summertime jaunt, has announced a new run of US dates to support its forthcoming release, "Love on the Inside."

The group's summer schedule kicked into gear in late May and continues tomorrow (7/1) in Del Mar, CA. The itinerary still has stops across the US and into Canada through mid-August.

The "Love on the Inside" fall tour is set to launch Sept. 13 in Asheville, NC, and visit cities in the eastern half of the US through mid-November. The majority of those dates will feature special guests Kellie Pickler and Ashton Shepherd. Sugarland's full itinerary is listed below.

The band's award-winning singer/songwriters, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, are also planning to address fans with a surprise video announcement on their website this Wednesday (7/2) at 1 p.m. CST, according to a press release.

"Love on the Inside," Sugarland's third full-length effort, is scheduled to hit the streets July 22. The lead single, "All I Want to Do," is already tearing up Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, currently residing in the Top 10. The tune, which entered the chart at No. 27 five weeks ago, is the band's highest-charting debut to date, according to a press release. A sample of that song and a few others from the record are streaming at Sugarland's MySpace page.

In addition to the regular 12-song CD, the forthcoming set will be offered in a deluxe edition that includes five bonus tracks, an expanded CD booklet and access to download exclusive music videos and behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the album.

"Love on the Inside" follows 2006's multi-platinum-selling "Enjoy the Ride," which features a pair of No. 1 singles: "Want To" and "Settlin'." That album also spawned the single "Stay," which scored Sugarland two trophies at last month's Academy of Country Music Awards. Written by Nettles, the song marks the first time a female artist has ever held solo writing credit on an ACM Song of the Year, according to a press release.
