MIRANDA LAMBERT TO PERFORM AT MUTTNATION BENEFIT AT NASHVILLE'S ASCEND AMPHITHEATER
On Oct. 5, 2024, Miranda Lambert intends to turn Nashville's Ascend Amphitheater into a 5,000-person honky-tonk.
The reason?
The artist who just released "Postcards from Texas," her ninth solo studio album, has gathered some of her favorite friends and musicians to raise funds and visibility for shelter pets nationwide through her 15-year-old MuttNation Foundation nonprofit.

The Tractor Supply-presented "Music For Mutts" will see Lambert joined by HARDY, Lukas Nelson, Jake Worthington and other surprise guests onstage.
Tickets for the event are currently available via Live Nation.
"This is a very special event for me and I'm so honored that the artists I asked to join me, who are all such big animal lovers, agreed to help," Lambert offered via a press statement.
'Music For Mutts,' what to expect?
Alongside the concert, which starts at 7:30 p.m. CT, there will be an open-to-the-public dog adoption event right before the concert from 4-6 p.m.
About the adoption, Lambert adds that "anyone who knows anything about me knows that helping shelter pets is what I use my voice for when I'm not singing, so you can bet I'll be singing and talking all night long!"
The adoption event will occur at Ascend Park and include participating shelters Crossroads Campus, Metro Animal Care & Control, Nashville Humane, Nashville Pittie, Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, Wags & Walks and Williamson County Animal Center.
In addition, the Dog Aging Project will be onsite to share information about how people and animals impact each other's aging processes. Fans can sign their dogs up to participate in the project.
MuttNation, at a glance
MuttNation Foundation is a donation-supported 501c(3) nonprofit organization founded by Lambert and her mother, Bev Lambert, in 2009. In nearly two decades, the organization has raised almost $10 million to support its mission to promote the adoption of shelter pets and advance spaying and neutering.
MuttNation's MuttNation-Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues Fund also supports animal shelters and organizations in times of natural disaster by supporting spaying and neutering through the MuttNation "It Takes Balls" program. Also, the Tractor Supply Company-exclusive MuttNation Fueled by Miranda Lambert line of pet toys and supplies benefits the Foundation.
