MIRANDA LAMBERT PREVIEWS POSTCARDS FROM TEXAS WITH SURPRISE PERFORMANCE AT STUBB’S AUSTIN

Pre-Order / Pre-Save the Album Available Sept. 13 HERE

AUSTIN, Texas – When the marquee outside legendary BBQ joint and live music venue Stubb’s Austin revealed a surprise message early Friday morning – MIRANDA LAMBERT TONIGHT AT 6PM – it didn’t take long for fans to race to the downtown establishment. With the line winding around the block and reaching capacity well ahead of the time the box office opened at noon, the lucky fans who made it there first were in for an unforgettable evening with a Lone Star icon come home.

In addition to lead single “Wranglers,” liberated anthem “Dammit Randy,” humorous shuffle “Alimony” and free-spirited ballad “No Man’s Land,” fans were also treated to an early preview of several other songs off Postcards from Texas: “Bitch On The Sauce (Just Drunk),” “Looking Back On Luckenbach,” “Armadillo” and “Wildfire.”

The event marked almost exactly 20 years to the day since Lambert played her very first label showcase at Stubb’s on Aug. 28, 2004, making for a full circle homecoming as she celebrated this next chapter in music.

“I have a brand new album, and I have the same fire that I had 20 years ago at that show,” reflected the the woman celebrated by Esquire as “consistent, but never predictable” and Rolling Stone as “country’s most ambitious artist” from the stage, adding of the setting, “I love a honky tonk. It’s how I grew up. It’s in my DNA.”

Always keeping a wildcard up her sleeve, Lambert further surprised fans by inviting fellow Texans and frequent collaborators Jack Ingram and Jon Randall (her Big Loud Texas label imprint partner and Postcards coproducer) to join for a few songs from their GRAMMY-nominated West Texas acoustic album, The Marfa Tapes, including fan-favorite hit “Tequila Does.”

Silver Anniversary: The Blue Light Live, Lubbock's most iconic nightclub, celebrated 25 years with week-long daily concerts from the artists that got their start there like Wade Bowen, Josh Abbott, William Clark Green, Flatland Cavalry and more.

KCBD News Channel interviewed J.R., the PD and morning show host from 107.7 The Red Dirt Rebel who said, “The 25th anniversary week is such a nostalgia bomb and I absolutely love it,” J.R. said. “It’s one of those really cool things of everyone coming home to their home stage. There’s some people who couldn’t make it and they’re missed, but at the same point, we’re celebrating what we have and it’s really great.”

New Music Alert: Wyatt Flores teased of new music on his socials with a very cool bio VIDEO and a little birdie told us that it would be available for radio soon!

Bow Wow: It's National Dog Day and what better way to celebrate man's best friend with $4000 donation to the Friends of the Bowie Animal Shelter. Texas music artists Ghost of Hill County truly have a love of animals. The band donated a concert for the auction held by Friends of The Bowie Animal Shelter this past weekend and helped raise over $4000. Six animals were also adopted during the fundraiser. Music brings people, and animals, together....that's one of the many things great about this Texas music scene!!
