Miranda Lambert Raises $120K

Miranda Lambert hosted her 2nd annual "Cause For The Paws" charity event on May 17th out in Tyler Texas. The event included a silent and live auction, food, wine tasting, Meet and Mingle VIP private cocktail party for the sponsors, as well as a concert from Miranda and her boyfriend Blake Shelton. This event was VERY sucessful and raised $120,000. Last year the event raised $113,000.

“I can’t express how much this year’s ‘Cause For the Paws’ event touched me, ” stated Miranda. “The giving spirit of those who were at the event this year was truly inspiring. It means the world to me and to the animals of East Texas. I am excited to see the improvements that we will make at the shelter. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot wait to see everyone next year!”

“It’s hard to think that last year’s event could have been beaten… But this year everything was just perfect,” states Executive Director of Humane Society of East Texas, Gayle Helmes. “Everything from the performances, to the auction, to the weather and the gorgeous venue, it all came together and we brought great awareness to this cause and raised money to help make improvements to our shelter. None of this would have been possible without Miranda and her supporters so we are grateful.”

Way to go Miranda! :)

John Rich In Trouble....Again

Music city TV has reported that John Rich was out at Cafe Coco in Nashville last night at around 3 am. John and a friend walked into the eatery and ordered beers, though in the state of Tennessee it is illegal to consume beer in public venues after 3 am, so they were told to finish their beers quickly. But thats not exactly where the trouble starts.

John ended up borrowing a few guitars and started playing a few songs acoustically, with the beer on stage. As soon as the clock struck 3 the server went to the stage to grab the beer, but John Rich was not happy. Instead he got mad at the server for interrupting him and then preceded to throw his bottle out on the street, which is where a police officer just happened to be standing to witness the whole incident. Though John was asked to leave without a ticket or a warning.

Shouldnt John be at home with his new wife instead of causing trouble out on the town!?

New Trent Tomlinson Music!

I had already heard his most recent single "How it still oughta be" for a few months now, and fell in LOVE with it. But as i was skimming through some articles today i noticed that Trent has now released a 2nd single off of his new album "A Guy Like Me" that will hit stores this fall. It's called "Henry Cartwright's Produce Stand"
Heres the inspiration behind the song:

The song is inspired by a local fixture in Tomlinson’s hometown of Kennett, Missouri who sells produce out of his pickup truck. “There was and still is a guy in Kennett, Mo., who sits on the east side of town just past the golf course who has a produce stand,” recalls Tomlinson. “I call it a stand, but really it’s a pickup truck parked halfway in a drainage ditch with the tailgate down and the bed filled with some of the best produce money can buy. The unique thing though is that it’s not your ordinary produce stand. It wasn’t pay-and-go; it was pay-and-listen. If this guy didn’t see you in church the Sunday before, he would tell you all about what you missed. This song is my take on what this fella stood for and his always-tasty produce.”

I <3 the new song...what do you think!?

Sugarland reschedules another show :(

Sugarland's July 4th show in Ontario, Canada with Billy Currington is being rescheduled for JULY 8th 2010! because they had a scheduling conflict. If you had purchased tickets to this show, your same ticket will work for the 2010 date, or you can get a refund at the John Labatt Centre Box Office.

A whole year!? Ive heard of a few months, but not a year!

YET....

the www.countrymusicislove.com girls went to a Kenny Chesney show in Louisville, Kentucky this past Saturday, May 30th and Sugarland DID perform. According to their review she sounded great and had no trouble with her voice or hitting high notes and had ALOT of energy.

So whats the whole deal about her canceling shows as well as meet and greets for the entire year?

Im so confused now
