What Vocal Duo of the Year nominee had a song featured on a hit TV show over a year before the duo’s premiere album was released?

Answer: The Wreckers' song “The Good Kind” was featured on the hit television series “One Tree Hill” in February 2005. The duo then embarked on the nationwide “One Tree Hill Tour” with Gavin DeGraw, Tyler Hilton and Bethany Joy Lenz. A little over a year later in May 2006, The Wreckers released their debut album Stand Still, Look Pretty. The album’s first single, “Leave the Pieces,” was a sweeping success that reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart in 2006.

Which nominee for Vocal Duo of the Year is donating one dollar of every ticket sold for its fall tour to a charitable cause?

Answer: Sugarland is embarking on their Change for Change” tour, which is sponsored by CMT. The focus of the fall tour is stimulating “Change” among the band members and fans. In order to accomplish this, Sugarland will donate one dollar of every ticket sold to The Shalom Foundation’s Guatemalan Child Relief Fund. A custom-designed t-shirt will also be available for sale to benefit the foundation. Jennifer Nettles acquired a passion for serving the people of Guatemala after living there for a year and later visiting this year to see the work of the foundation. Kristian Bush and Nettles aim to inspire their fans to help make a difference by giving their “change” to “change” the world. Little Big Town and Jake Owen will join Sugarland this fall on the duo’s first headlining tour.

This nominee for Vocal Duo of the Year performed together in a band with another Country Music star before forming their own duo. Who was it?

Answer: Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry sang together in a group called Early Tymz with Eddie’s younger brother, John Michael Montgomery in the early 1990s. John Michael later pursued a successful solo career (including winning both the CMA Horizon Award and Single of the Year Award for “I Swear” in 1994). In 1999, Troy and Eddie teamed up to form Montgomery Gentry and have since accumulated eleven Top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Chart and were named CMA Vocal Duo of the Year in 2000.

Which nominee for Vocal Duo of the Year sponsors a music scholarship for online students at a prestigious music college?

Answer: Big & Rich has partnered with Berkleemusic.com to sponsor promising students and help them achieve their dream of a life in music. Berkleemusic.com is an online continuing education division of the Berklee College of Music, and boasts an impressive roster of celebrity sponsors, such as Bill Cosby, Paul Simon, and Gloria Estefan.

Which 2007 Vocal Duo of the Year nominee’s songs have been used in both President George W. Bush’s election and reelection campaigns?

Answer: Brooks and Dunn. In 2000, then Texas Governor Bush chose the duo’s mid-1990s hit, "Hard Workin' Man," and in 2004, the President selected the patriotic hit "Only in America".
