Miranda Lambert’s “Music for Mutts” benefit concert presented by Tractor Supply, set for Saturday, Oct. 5 at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater, will also be available via livestream powered by T-Mobile from 8:30-10:30 p.m. CT. Fans everywhere can tune into the livestream free-of-charge on both Lambert’s and MuttNation’s Facebook and YouTube channels, as well as on the Nugs.net website and YouTube channel.
Having recently released her latest critically acclaimed album, Postcards from Texas, Lambert will share center stage with some of her favorite animal-loving friends including HARDY, Lukas Nelson and some very special surprise guests. Prior to the livestream, Jake Worthington will kick off what promises to be an exciting and fun-filled evening for a great cause – raising funds and visibility for shelter pets nationwide through Lambert’s nonprofit, MuttNation Foundation.
“I’m thrilled that T-Mobile has made it possible for me to share the evening with my fans and all the animal lovers who couldn’t be at the show in person. It’s going to be a great night that I’ve been looking forward to for months,” said Lambert. “And we know that being able to share our love of music and animals with a wider audience will mobilize many more people to foster and adopt shelter pets. Thank you, T-Mobile!”
Founded by Lambert alongside her mom, Bev, the 501c(3) nonprofit celebrating its 15th anniversary has raised over $10 million to date to promote adoption, support shelters across the country, advance spay & neuter and assist with the transport of animals during times of natural disaster – with MuttNation Foundation also recently announcing $230,000 year-to-date in emergency response funding given through the Relief for Rescues initiative.
In addition to the upcoming benefit concert, there will be a pre-show, open-to-the-public dog adoption event at Ascend Park, adjacent to the amphitheater on 1st Avenue, from 4-6 p.m. local time. Participating shelters include 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 – and fans can sign their dogs up to participate in the project.
Limited tickets to the show remain via LiveNation.com. The event is made possible with support from presenting sponsor Tractor Supply Company as well as T-Mobile and Gibson Gives.

About Miranda Lambert
Critically acclaimed groundbreaker/songwriter/superstar Miranda Lambert has defined her multi-faceted career as an artist, entertainer, entrepreneur, advocate and businesswoman with an unflinching quest for excellence, honesty and conviction. With her tenth solo studio album, Postcards from Texas, available everywhere now via Republic Records, the most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history, including their top honor for Entertainer of the Year, has also won three GRAMMYs and 14 Country Music Association Awards. A TIME100 honoree and perennial best-of-the-year list maker at the New York Times, TIME, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, People and more, NPR has called her “the most riveting country star of her generation.”
A multi-dimensional superstar, she’s earned seven No. 1 solo albums, 10 No. 1 hit radio singles, more than 80 prestigious awards and countless RIAA certifications; conquered Las Vegas with her twice-extended Velvet Rodeo residency; blurred genres with Leon Bridges, the B-52s, Loretta Lynn, Enrique Iglesias, Sheryl Crow and Elle King; and delivered her LGBTQ+ inclusive anthem “Y’All Means All” for Netflix’s “Queer Eye.” She’s taken those standards to become a New York Times bestselling author and the first female restaurateur on Lower Broadway with her Tex-Mex cantina Casa Rosa, while also expanding her creative reach with her Wanda June Home collection exclusive to Walmart and her Idyllwind clothing and boot line at Boot Barn. Her passion for rescue animals inspired the creation of her MuttNation Foundation, which has raised over $10 million since inception to promote adoption, support shelters across the country, advance spay & neuter and assist with the transport of animals during times of natural disaster.
