Eric Church
Eric to support Miranda Lambert on Fall Tour
NASHVILLE – July
13, 2010 – Following a year full of impressive accolades and her first ever
headlining tour, Texas singer/songwriter Miranda
Lambert is prepared to hit the road again this fall as the headlining act
for CMT ON TOUR: MIRANDA LAMBERT
REVOLUTION, it was announced today by CMT. When Lambert won top female honors for both the ACM and CMT
Awards earlier this year, her first reaction was “shock” followed by
gratefulness. It wasn’t until she
hit the road again on her first headlining tour that the gravity of her
astounding accomplishments hit home and an overwhelming sense of responsibility
set in. That responsibility to
deliver a live show even better than she was already known for is what fans
will witness as Lambert headlines CMT’s ninth annual tour.
The nationwide
tour includes special guest Eric Church
and introducing Josh Kelley kicks
off in New York on September 29, and will cross 28 cities. Produced by AEG
Live, previous CMT Tours have featured such superstars as Trace Adkins, Jason
Aldean, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland and
Keith Urban.
“Having that
Texas club circuit experience at an early age and also touring with some of the
best in the business for several years, I know what it takes to bring it every
night and give fans more than their money’s worth,” says Lambert. “The CMT Tour
is a great way for me to thank fans for their support this year and show them I
can live up to the honors.”
Church
added, “I'm very excited to be on what I believe will be one of the best tours
going out this fall. I've been on a lot of tours and this one is gonna be
the heat! I love what Miranda does and we are gonna take the stage every
night locked and cocked. The crowd better be ready for it, cause we are!”

Three-time GRAMMY®
nominee, platinum-selling recording artist and hit singer/songwriter Miranda
Lambert recently added her first CMT Award to an already impressive list of
accolades she’s received this year. The fan-voted CMT Award for Female Video of the
Year joins Miranda’s recent ACM
wins for Album of the Year (Revolution), Female Vocalist of the Year and Video
of the Year (White Liar). Her second single from Revolution, "The House That Built Me," held the Number 1
position for 4 straight weeks. It follows “White Liar” which was Miranda’s
first career No.1 single. Miranda is slathering on the southern charm with her
newest single, “Only Prettier.”
Revolution, her
critically-acclaimed third album, has quickly surpassed the Gold sales mark
after debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's
Country Album Charts making her one of four artists in country music history
whose first three albums landed the top position right out of the box. It
received rare perfect reviews from countless publications including four stars
from Rolling Stone and USA Today, an 'A' from Entertainment Weekly and exuberant
praise from the New York Times, SPIN,
the Washington Post and more.
Many have proclaimed Revolution
the "Best Album of the Year" in any genre including the Houston Chronicle and NPR's All Things Considered.
In 2008, Miranda
Lambert first won the coveted ACM Album of the Year and in 2007 the ACM Best
New Female Award.
EMI Records
Nashville’s Eric Church, who recently graced the cover of Billboard magazine, has produced two consecutive Top 10s from his
critically acclaimed sophomore album Carolina.

country radio and is his fastest rising single to date.
Singer-songwriter
Josh Kelley recently completed his first country album, and his first single
“Georgia Clay” is expected to impact country radio August 9th. After experiencing much musical acclaim
on six previous studio albums including For
the Ride Home, he signed with Universal Music Group’s Nashville MCA imprint

found his roots in country music.
