MIRANDA LAMBERT: BACKSTAGE ACCESS
EXHIBITION TO OPEN MAY 16
AT THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME ® AND MUSEUM
NASHVILLE, Tenn., February 27, 2014 – The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum will explore a year in the life of Grammy Award-winning superstar Miranda Lambert with the exhibition Miranda Lambert: Backstage Access, which opens on May 16, 2014, and runs through November 9, 2014.
The exhibition will include gowns, stage costumes, awards and much more
from the reigning and four-time CMA and ACM Female Vocalist of the
Year; Lambert’s own Tweets will provide the narrative thread of this
journey through the artist’s life in 2013.
“The Country Music Hall of Fame is a place to cherish what country
music is all about, and I’m so honored to have an exhibit in this
treasured hall,” said Lambert.
“Miranda Lambert is one of contemporary music’s most popular and
acclaimed artists, and for good reason,” said Museum Director Kyle
Young. “She’s a dynamic performer; an emotive and powerful vocalist
whose voice is equally at home with lyrics tough or tender; and a
songwriter with a deft touch for feeling and place. Her numerous hits,
from empowering anthems like “Gunpowder and Lead” to introspective set
pieces like “The House That Built Me,” are rich contributions to country
music’s storytelling tradition. We are looking forward to taking our
visitors behind the scenes with Miranda during her amazing successes in
2013.”
Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert is the reigning
four-time CMA and reigning four-time ACM Female Vocalist of the Year.
Her last album, Four The Record, made history when it debuted atop Billboard’s
Top Country Albums chart, making Miranda the first country artist in
the 47-year history of the chart to have each of her first four albums
debut at # 1. All four of those albums have also been certified
platinum.
Lambert recently released the song “Automatic,” the first single from
her highly anticipated fifth album, which will be released later this
year. Written by Lambert, Nicolle Galyon and Natalie Hemby, the
autobiographical song reflects on the days of pay phones, learning to
drive a stick shift, driving to Dallas to buy an Easter dress, recording
the country countdown on her cassette recorder and more.
In addition to her award-winning music, Lambert has designed a shoe
line that is available at DSW and other retailers across the country.
She also dedicates much of her time to her MuttNation Foundation. The
foundation has raised more than $1.5 million to aid organizations and
governmental institutions or entities whose purpose is to build animal
shelters for better care; increase pet adoption and encourage
responsible pet guardianship; rehabilitate sick or unsocialized animals;
fund spay/neuter programs; and reduce and eliminate euthanasia of
healthy animals. She also owns two lifestyle boutiques, general stores
she named the Pink Pistol. The stores are located in her hometown of
Lindale, TX, and in Tishomingo, OK.
