ACM Entertainer of the Year, animal advocate, restaurateur, and businesswoman, Miranda Lambert adds New York Times best-selling author to her accolades with “Y’all Eat Yet?”. Her eighth solo album, Palomino, debuted as the largest female Country album in 2022, earning a GRAMMY nomination. Lambert boasts seven previous No. 1 albums, 11 No. 1 singles, over 70 awards, and countless sales certifications. NPR hails her as “the most riveting country star of her generation,” making her the most-awarded artist in ACM history.
Ben Haggard, son of legendary music great Merle Haggard, has been the lead guitarist in Hag’s longtime band of the same name since he was 15 years old, fitting in easily with veterans like musical director Norm Hamlet and Scott Joss.
