~~Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles recently moved her home base from Atlanta to Nashville and is putting down roots now that her baby Magnus Hamilton Miller arrived in December. Jennifer and her husband Justin Miller bought a farm near Music City, and she enjoys living in a smaller city.

Jennifer tells The New York Times, "Part of what is really attractive about Nashville right now is that it isn't Atlanta, and I love Atlanta. There's a bit of charm and a richness a city the size of Nashville allows for."
