Kenny Chesney + Jimmy Fallon Talk SPHERE, Friends + No Shoes Nation Last Night

Sometimes when you’ve got good news, show up and share it with the world. For Kenny Chesney, notoriously circumspect about everything except his music, being only the sixth band – behind Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees U2, the Eagles and Dead + Company, plus jam force Phish and electronic artist Anyma – to bring their iconic sound to Vegas’ Sphere was a strong reason to go to New York to talk, instead of play, music.
 
Having made the Sphere announcement at the start of “TODAY”’s 8:30 a.m. half hour, the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar stopped in at “The Tonight Show” to talk what made him take on the challenge of being the first country artist to play the groundbreaking venue, the fact he’d not seen a concert there before signing on and several good friends who share his penchant for creating and playing songs that touch people where they live, but also where they feel most alive.
 
“The great thing about Jimmy,” Chesney said about the host, “is he’s so musically curious, he always takes the conversation places you don’t see coming. Lots of people have asked me about the story Taylor told in TIME, but he wanted to know if I recognized her massive impact when she was 17… Lots of people have asked about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance for Jimmy’s induction, where I sang with James Taylor and Mac McAnally, but he understood what it meant to me on a soul level, and wanted to talk about how much we all miss him.
 
“That’s the reason when we made the decision to go into this new dimension with our live experience, I knew I wanted to dig into it with Jimmy Fallon. He not only wanted to understand what the work was to create something that required being built from the ground up, he wanted to know what it feels like to be at one of our shows.”
 
For Chesney, who has always relished a challenge, the idea of completely new visuals delivered in the highest possible definition on a screen that wraps all the way up and around the dome-shaped building was an opportunity to really consider what some of his most iconic songs mean. Known for its 167,000 individual speakers, which can be dialed in to each section with dazzling specificity, these 12 shows will allow No Shoes Nation to almost be consumed by the experience. Or as he joked earlier in the day, “Like they’ve never seen us before.”
 
Beyond breakout stories in USA Today, Rolling Stone, People, Los Angeles Times, New York Post, as well as trades and music-centered publications, including Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, POLLSTAR, HITS, Consequence, Holler, Music Mayhem and Billboard, Stereogum, RELIX, Hollywood Reporter and Britain’s Daily Mail – plus radio across the nation -- all picked up the news.
 
Having extended his Billboard Country Airplay Chart record with “Take Her Home,” his 33rd No. 1, plus a dozen personal stadium records on his 2024 Sun Goes Down Tour, Chesney’s breaking ground and having fun taking No Shoes Nation into a whole new musical realm. “For people who consume this music so completely, I love the idea that now the music is going to consume No Shoes Nation with this full-on experience. There’s never been anything so completely immersive – and I’m honored that we get to take No Shoes Nation into this space, really have fun and give all that positive energy an even deeper dimension.”

Miranda Lambert Brought “Wranglers” to NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Ahead of 9/13 ‘Postcards from Texas’

Clad in a denim-inspired Lauren Sussi outfit and the Lone Star-based Standard Hat Works hat that appears on the cover of her highly anticipated album Postcards from Texas, three-time GRAMMY Award-winner Miranda Lambert brought the heat to last night’s edition of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” treating viewers to a fiery performance of lead single “Wranglers.” The album, which arrives as her debut project for new label home Republic Records next Friday, Sept. 13, has already been named among the most anticipated albums of the year by Vulture, GRAMMY.com, Texas Monthly and more. Pre-order / pre-save HERE and watch the performance Below.
 
Written by Audra Mae, Ryan Carpenter and Evan McKeever - based on a real woman-to-woman conversation between Mae and Lambert - the song arrived as the biggest-streaming debut of her 20+ year career and is now ascending the charts at country radio. In both a symbolic and physical return to Texas for the first studio album recorded by Lambert in her home state since her independent teenage debut, “Wranglers” was recorded at Austin’s legendary Arlyn Studios and produced by Lambert together with frequent collaborator Jon Randall, along with the rest of the forthcoming album, including liberated anthem “Dammit Randy,” humorous shuffle “Alimony” and free-spirited ballad “No Man’s Land”,” all also out now as early previews of the project.
 
“‘Wranglers’ is a classic tale of a woman taking her power back,” Lambert shared of the track upon its release. “I think we can all identify with the character in this song, because we have all had a time in our life where we needed to find our strength, and also get a little revenge on someone who did us wrong or hurt us. This offers such a cool, raging take on how something like this unravels; I am so proud to sing this song.”
 
“What results is a three-minute tale of the power and destruction of female rage,” declares Holler of the song. “With a foreboding drum roll, acoustic guitar and a sinister sounding whistle opening the track, Lambert’s signature Texas twang cuts through almost defiantly as Mae adds some chilling background vocals throughout. Fit with a strong and compelling chorus, ‘Wranglers’ showcases Lambert’s tried and true combination of country sensibility and high-octane, rock-infused instrumentation, that features sizzling guitar licks and a goosebump-inducing howl at the song’s close.”

The Postcards from Texas preview initially made its debut during her headlining set at Stagecoach Music Festival earlier this year, followed by the most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history performing the song live during this year’s ACM Awards show, with Billboard praising the “rocking performance of the scorching woman-done-wrong’s revenge tale, electrifying the crowd.”
 
The song “showcases her at her defiantly full-tilt best…. an instant classic stadium-ready anthem that exuberantly celebrates liberation from a bad situation,” adds Cowboys & Indians, with the Tennessean declaring that the “Wranglers” chapter of her storied career “finds her in greater control of her artistic and creative direction than ever” and Cowgirl Magazine celebrating it as “a heartfelt return to her musical roots, reminiscent of her earliest albums… blending traditional elements with modern flair.”
 
Following this week’s late night television appearance, Lambert will return to screens next Wednesday, Sept. 11 to serve as a presenter on the all-genre MTV Video Music Awards. She also took fans behind the making of the album with TalkShopLive, available to watch on demand here, and appears on the current covers of both Us Weekly and Nashville Lifestyles, with the latter declaring, “Lambert may call Nashville home, and she may revisit and draw inspiration from her home state Texas, but perhaps it’s being at home within herself and the authenticity that comes with it that has cemented her country star status and all that’s yet to come.”

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 ninth solo studio album, Postcards from Texas, set for release Sept. 13 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.

Ashley McBryde Performs "The Devil I Know" on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon"

GRAMMY award winner and Grand Ole Opry member Ashley McBryde performed the title track from her critically acclaimed album The Devil I Know via Warner Music Nashville on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” yesterday, Thursday, December 7.

“Ashley McBryde writes about the outcasts – the best characters in her songs are downtrodden, stuck and determined as ever. ‘The Devil I Know’ is an anthem for all of them,” Vulture observes of the only country song on their top 10 “Best Songs of 2023,” while praising “McBryde knows the power of saying just enough — like painting a toxic relationship as ‘suitcase marks on a hardwood floor’ — and when to let everything boil over, which she expresses in a fiery chorus.”
 
“Arkansas native McBryde has deeply entrenched unflinching, blue-collar honesty as her trademark brand in country music,” boasts Tennessean, as Variety opines of the album, “the faithful already knew it would be one of the genre’s most satisfying efforts in 2023, even before she actually delivered on that promise with emotional ballads like ‘Light in the Kitchen,’ pure barnburners like ‘Made for This,’ or actual heart-destroyers like ‘Learned to Lie.’”
 
“The album’s songs are infectious and assured…Lyrically, they’re tighter than a bowline knot, bursting with colorful details,” boasts Garden & Gun, as Holler praises, “Once again weaving together country ditties, rock-tinged rompers and biker-bar riffs, with The Devil I Know, Ashley McBryde has plotted out an all-encompassing journey. The record features arena-sized regrets, a couple of classic country odes and a few bouts of bold and visceral vulnerability.”
 
As she gears up to close out the U.S. portion of the first leg of The Devil I Know Tour Presented by Ariat among multiple sold-out dates, McBryde will make a triumphant soon-to-be-sold-out return to the U.K. and Ireland at the top of the year. The second leg will kick off February 22 in Charleston, S.C. with tickets available at AshleyMcBryde.com.
 
Fans can watch McBryde perform “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” with Lindsey Stirling on CMA Country Christmas airing Thursday, December 14 at 8pm ET on ABC and Friday, December 15 on Hulu and Disney+.

About Ashley McBryde
GRAMMY, CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in biker bars – and it shows. The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Her follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was also honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. Her collaborative project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and Benjy Davis earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. The project earned McBryde her second consecutive nomination for CMA Album of the Year, along with Music Video of the Year for her chart-climbing single “Light On In The Kitchen” from her latest critically acclaimed album, The Devil I Know. McBryde is currently on her headlining The Devil I Know Tour Presented by Ariat and heads to the U.K. at the top of the year before kicking off the second U.S. leg in February 2024.

GRAMMY award winner and Grand Ole Opry member Ashley McBryde will bring the title track from her critically acclaimed album The Devil I Know via Warner Music Nashville to NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” tomorrow, Thursday, December 7.
 
Lauded as “the latest reminder of how special a mainstream country star McBryde is” and named one of the “Best Songs of 2023 (So Far)” by Vulture, “The Devil I Know” finds the Arkansas native “showing off the country-rock chops that, if this industry were fair, would lead her to play this song in arenas just like fellow mavericks Chris Stapleton and Eric Church.”
 
Of the album, Rolling Stone observes, “It’s a startling snapshot of a songwriter at the peak of her abilities,” while Variety opines, “the faithful already knew it would be one of the genre’s most satisfying efforts in 2023, even before she actually delivered on that promise with emotional ballads like ‘Light in the Kitchen,’ pure barnburners like ‘Made for This,’ or actual heart-destroyers like ‘Learned to Lie.’”

Ashley McBryde & John Osborne Perform "Gospel Night At The Strip Club" on NBC's "The Tonight Show

ASHLEY McBRYDE AND JOHN OSBORNE PERFORM
“GOSPEL NIGHT AT THE STRIP CLUB” ON NBC’s
“THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON”

GRAMMY-Nominated Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville
Named One of the Best Albums of The Year by
Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, Tennessean and More

Sharing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album as artist and producer on Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, Ashley McBryde and John Osborne brought a special performance of “Gospel Night At The Strip Club” to NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” last night. Watch their performance HERE.

Transforming the set with church pews and neon signs, McBryde and Osborne were joined by a small choir to deliver their hymn’s chorus, with Rolling Stone sharing, “The rest of the record tumbles out as more of a spoken word retelling of a night Jesus stopped in at the strip club, took in the stories of the characters all around him, dropped a $20 bill on the counter, and slipped out the door.”

Marking her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, following Warner Music Nashville’s
Girl Going Nowhere in 2018 and Never Will in 2020, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville was produced by Osborne and features performances from Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Aaron Raitiere, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack and Benjy Davis. The project has been named one of the best albums of the year by Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, Tennessean and more.

Both McBryde and Osborne are also up for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, with McBryde’s No. 1 duet with Carly Peace “Never Wanted To Be That Girl” and Brothers Osborne’s “Midnight Rider’s Prayer.”

This Saturday, Dec. 10, McBryde will fulfill a lifelong dream as she’s inducted as a Grand Ole Opry Member, and in 2023, the Arkansas native invites you to the revered Ryman Auditorium to experience Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville Live, featuring the cast of collaborators and special guests performing songs from her critically acclaimed album, February 15 and 16. Tickets are available at AshleyMcBryde.com.

About Ashley McBryde
CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in rural biker bars – and it shows. Her 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times,
NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album.

The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her critically acclaimed duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was also honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. The Arkansas-native invites listeners to Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, a collaborative new project featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and more, earning McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, while her duet with Pearce received a nod for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee.

Ashley McBryde and John Osborne Bring 'Lindeville' to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Tomorrow, Dec. 6

Pair Performs “Gospel Night At The Strip Club” from
GRAMMY-Nominated Album Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville

McBryde’s Induction as a Grand Ole Opry Member This Saturday, Dec. 10

Sharing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album as artist and producer, Ashley McBryde and John Osborne will bring Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” tomorrow, Dec. 6 with a performance of “Gospel Night At The Strip Club.”

Lauded by Tennessean as “one of this year’s best country-folk songs, period,” “Gospel Night At The Strip Club” has struck a chord with fans and critics alike, with Stereogum calling it “a total showstopper,” while Billboard praises the track “serves as one of the project’s most gripping, soul-searching pulses.”

“One of Lindeville’s highlights,” shares Los Angeles Times, “a sparse acoustic number that alternates detailed verses about a club’s various habitués with a moving chorus.” That chorus “is crucial,” asserts PASTE, “because it makes explicit the project’s unifying theme: Everyone is flawed, and everyone is worthy of love and respect despite those flaws. Perhaps we should spend less time hiding our sins and weaknesses, and more time forgiving the same in others.”

Marking her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, following Warner Music Nashville’s Girl Going Nowhere in 2018 and Never Will in 2020, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville was produced by Osborne and features performances from Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Aaron Raitiere, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack and Benjy Davis. Landing on Rolling Stone’s “The 100 Best Albums of 2022,” the project brings them all together “to spin stories of small-town life both heartbreaking and hilarious.”

Both McBryde and Osborne are also up for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, with McBryde’s No. 1 duet with Carly Peace “Never Wanted To Be That Girl” and Brothers Osborne’s “Midnight Rider’s Prayer.”

This Saturday, Dec. 10, McBryde will fulfill a lifelong dream as she’s inducted as a Grand Ole Opry Member, and in 2023, the Arkansas native invites you to the revered Ryman Auditorium to experience Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville Live, featuring the cast of collaborators and special guests performing songs from her critically acclaimed album, February 15 and 16.

Produced once again by Jay Joyce, Never Will reveals the witty, confessional, detail-driven songwriting addressing a wide spectrum of blue-collar Southern women’s experience introduced on Girl Going Nowhere is still here, but perhaps even sharper. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season.

Miranda Lambert Brings "Actin' Up" to "The Tonight Show" + TIME100 Broadcast as "The Bandwagon Tour" Wraps

MIRANDA LAMBERT RETURNS TO
“THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON”
PERFORMING “ACTIN’ UP” OFF NEW ALBUM PALOMINO

Watch the TIME100 Honoree Perform This Sunday, June 12 at 8/7c on ABC’s Broadcast of “TIME100: The World’s Most Influential People”

The Bandwagon Tour Wraps This Weekend Ahead of Reigning Entertainer of the Year’s
Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas Residency This Fall

Reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year Miranda Lambert brought a rowdy performance of “Actin’ Up” off her latest album Palomino, the highest debuting country album of 2022, to NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” last night, June 8. Watch the full performance HERE.

“Got my own kind of country, kind of funky, turn it up” she taunted, clad in a custom Aubrey Hyde x Fort Lonesome set featuring neon palomino horses, Idyllwind metallic green booties and her signature fringe while delivering a lively rendition of the song NPR celebrates as “steeped in Lambert’s brand of sass and swagger” with Stereogum elaborating, “swagger-mode Miranda Lambert is the best Miranda Lambert.”

Viewers can see Lambert perform the album cut again this Sunday, June 12 at 8/7c as TIME and ABC bring viewers inside the exclusive TIME100 Gala for the first time ever with the “TIME100: The World’s Most Influential People” television event. As the only country artist on 2022’s TIME100 list, Lambert is part of a distinguished group of individuals honored for their impact, innovation and achievement.

Whether challenging conventional notions in her current Top 15 “If I Was A Cowboy” with the subversive lyrical question “So mommas if your daughters grow up to be cowboys, so what?,” using her voice to write and record the inclusive “Y’all Means All” anthem, or lending her time to raise money for the MuttNation Foundation (her nonprofit that provides support to animal shelters and encourages adoption), as Pitchfork notes, Lambert “manages the hat-trick of both timeliness and timely activism.”

The three-time GRAMMY winner also wraps her co-headlining The Bandwagon Tour with Little Big Town this weekend having earned rave reviews throughout its run. With Charleston’s Post and Courier celebrating the show’s “fringe-flingin’, boot-stompin’, girl power energy” and the Houston Press praising the way the set “bounced between tenderhearted, vulnerable tunes… and the stuff she truly excels at, songs which allow her to be a complete and total badass,” the Tennessean also noted, “the presence of mournful blues that has colored Lambert’s voice since the beginning of her career felt more deeply worn into the crevices of her singing and guitar playing than ever before.”

Lambert will once again take the stage this fall as her Velvet Rodeo residency takes over the Zappos Theater at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas starting in September. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.MirandaLambert.com.
