Miranda Hangs Out With The Boys At The Roadside Bar!
Thursday, March 11, 2010
Miranda To Separate The Men From The Boys With Her "Roadside Bars &
Pink Guitars Tour" Nashville, TN (March 11, 2010) -- With her sharp-tongued, no-holds
barred attitude, incendiary stage performances, and gun-toting anthems, platinum
recording artist Miranda Lambert is a force to be reckoned with -- a woman most
men would think twice about double-crossing. Her recent number one hit
“White Liar” along with hits like “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,”
“Gunpowder & Lead” and “Kerosene” leave no question
that the gal can hold her own. But there’s a new breed of rough &
rowdy country artists who think they are man enough to keep up with the 6x ACM
nominated star. Date City Venue Special Guest 3/18 Beckley, WV Raleigh

Miranda embarks on her “Roadside Bars
& Pink Guitars” headlining tour next week and for all but a handful of
dates, she’s enlisted some of the hottest male talents in country music -
James Otto, David Nail, Randy Houser, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Eric Church, Jake
Owen, Wade Bowen, Luke Bryan and Chris Young. Each will join Miranda for
select dates through out the tour.
“I like pink guitars
and puppies so how scary can I be?” laughs Miranda. "Seriously, it’s
going to be a lot of fun. I’ve been on tour with some great male
headliners so I thought it’s only natural that I invite some talented guys
on my first official headlining tour!”
"We're excited to
join Miranda for a few dates on her upcoming tour," exlaims Cross Canadian
Ragweed's guitarist Grady Cross. "It's been about 5 years since we've performed
with her and we're proud to be back. Miranda is a great entertainer and
its guaranteed to be a good time!"
“Miranda is one of the most
talented singer/songwriters out there,” says Chris Young. “I have
always loved her music and her live shows, and I’m very excited about
being on the road with her.”
“I can’t wait to
get out on the road with Miranda,” says an enthusiastic Jake Owen.
“She and her band know how to rock and our show is a perfect fit with
that. Her fans are always ready to have a good time and we’re ready to
show them a party.”
"Miranda has always been one of the
most confident women I've been around. It seems she always has her head in the
game and ready for the next step before she even knows what that might be," says
fellow Texan Wade Bowen. "Her music is original and unique without sticking
herself under the radar and with every album release, I find myself anxious to
see what she is going to do next. Not many artists have that effect on people
anymore!"
"Miranda and I both have a lot of respect for each
other musically," says Eric Church. "I consider her a badass and she considers
me one. Put us both together and it should be unsafe at best. Everybody better
rest up for this one cause we're gonna blow it up."
Miranda’s
newest single “The House that Built Me,” a song that showcases her
softer, sentimental side, became the #1 most added song this week at over 100
country radio stations. With six 2010 ACM nominations under her belt, a newly
celebrated Gold certification of both her first #1 single, "White Liar," and her
critically acclaimed third studio album, Revolution, and her first headlining
tour, Miranda Lambert has laid a strong foundation in becoming country music's
next big superstar.
ABOUT MIRANDA LAMBERT:
Platinum and three-time Grammy nominated recording artist Miranda Lambert
recently scored six Academy of Country Music nominations, including Album of the
Year for Revolution, and both Song and Single of the Year nods for her first #1
hit "White Liar." Her critically-acclaimed third album, Revolution, debuted at
#1 and joins her previous two releases that debuted at the very top of
Billboard’s Country Album Charts, making her one of four artists in
country music history whose first three albums landed the #1 spot out of the
box. Lambert received rare perfect reviews from countless publications
including 4 stars from Rolling Stone and USA Today, an ‘A’ from
Entertainment Weekly and exuberant praise from SPIN, NY Times, Washington Post
and more. Many have claimed Revolution the “Best Album of the
Year” in any genre including Houston Chronicle and NPR’s All Things
Considered. She won the coveted ACM Album of the Year in 2008 and ACM Best New
Female Award in 2007. Her string of nominations include CMA’s Horizon
Award (2005, 2006), ACM’s Top Female Vocalist Award (2008, 2009) and
Grammys for Best Female Country Vocal Performance (2006, 2007). With this much
artillery under her belt, it’s no surprise the fiery Texas bombshell packs
a pretty hard punch - her live shows no exception.
ABOUT DAVID NAIL:
Missouri native David Nail’s
debut record I’m About To Come Alive was released on MCA Nashville August
‘09 and became the 3rd highest new artist debut on the country charts for
the year. Single “Red Light” peaked at #6 and holds the record for
the longest charted single in Mediabase history at 42 weeks. The track also just
earned an Academy of Country Music Award nomination for “Single of the
Year”. Nail wrote five of the eleven tracks for Alive, which boasts many
notable names. Lambert lends her vocals to the moody “Strangers On A
Train” and both Rascal Flatts lead Gary LeVox (“Summer Job
Days”) and Kenny Chesney (“Turning Home”) appear in the
songwriting credits. People magazine boasts Nail as “One of
Nashville’s Hottest New Stars” and praises the album saying
it’s "a rewarding set that showcases his soulful, nuanced vocals" and
awarded it three out of four stars. He has also been featured by Billboard,
Entertainment Weekly, Us Weekly, Ladies Home Journal and on iTunes, AOL and ESPN
2. He’s performed at Kenny Chesney’s pre-show tailgating parties,
opened for Sugarland and on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Nail’s

ABOUT RANDY HOUSER:
Los Angeles Times wrote that Randy
Houser adds “grit to the genre” with his debut album ANYTHING GOES,
which has positioned the Mississippi-born, soul-drenched country singer and
songwriter to become one of the next big artists to emerge in the genre. Houser,
was ranked No. 1 in Country Aircheck's 2009 Airplay Stats list in the New Artist
category and was named one of this year's New Faces, receiving a great
response from both fans and radio programmers with his first single
“Anything Goes,” which catapulted into the Top 20 after an
appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. His most recent hit single,
“Boots On,” reached Top 5 on Billboard and Mediabase charts, and
spent 2 weeks at #1 on Music Row charts. A viral video for the song,
featuring a talented toddler rocking out and lip synching with his toy guitar,
became a YouTube phenomenon tallying over 1 million views and garnered attention
from CNN, The Early Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Fox & Friends: Weekend,
and Perez Hilton, among others. Incorporated into the official music video, it
has earned Houser Video of the Year nominations for both the 2009 CMA and 2010
ACM Awards. Houser co-headlined his first tour with longtime pal Jamey Johnson
on CMT ON TOUR 09 and completed his first USO tour overseas with Johnson and
