LANCO Announces Headlining “Low Class Lovers Tour”

By on June 6, 2022 in In The Press, Press Releases

NASHVILLE – June 6, 2022 – Award-winning, chart-topping group LANCO announces today their headlining LOW CLASS LOVERS TOUR which officially kicks off June 16 in Ohio. The 20-date run, named after their new hit song, has the platinum-selling group crisscrossing the country throughout the fall with additional dates forthcoming. Get tickets HERE.

 

Known for their energetic live shows, the LOW CLASS LOVERS TOUR features the incredible vocals and charismatic stage presence that fans fell in love with years ago. This past weekend was no different as LANCO showcased their dedication and adaptability when the power at their scheduled venue – The Beacon Theatre in Hopewell, VA – went out and prevented them from playing the club. LANCO quickly pivoted and set up a stripped-down stage in the park across the street from the venue where they performed an acoustic set and met with fans.

 

The LOW CLASS LOVERS TOUR announcement comes on the heels of LANCO’s radio success as they were recently named as iHeart Radio’s nationally syndicated Bobby Bones Show “National Spotlight Artist of the Week.” Additionally, Sirius/XM The Highway added “Low Class Lovers” to their prestigious “On the Horizon” Playlist. Fan demand for “Low Class Lovers” is undeniable as more partners discover the lead track from LANCO’s forthcoming project. Solely written by lead vocalist Brandon Lancaster and produced by GRAMMY-winning producer Jay Joyce, “Low Class Lovers” tells the story of finding happiness through experiences and not through money. It is a follow-up chapter to their massively successful, 2X Platinum, multi-week No. 1 hit, “Greatest Love Story,” also inspired by Lancaster’s real-life experiences of marriage, parenthood, work and more. Get “Low Class Lovers” HERE.

 

“Low Class Lovers” follows LANCO’s 2021 EP HONKY-TONK HIPPIES and their groundbreaking debut album HALLELUJAH NIGHTS. HALLELUJAH NIGHTS hit the top of the Billboard Country Albums chart upon release, making them the first Country group to earn a No. 1 debut in over a decade. In addition to fan acclaim, the industry also took notice. LANCO won ACM “New Group of the Year” and has received multiple nominations from CMT, CMA, ACM, AMA and iHeart Awards, while Lancaster became the first member of a group to win NSAI’s “Songwriter/Artist of the Year” award.

Road warriors to their core, LANCO will make multiple appearances at this week’s CMA Fest prior to kicking off their headlining tour. Fans can catch their two CMA Fest performances at the Ascend Amphitheater (6/10) and the Chevy Riverfront Stage (6/12). For more information and tour dates, visit www.lancomusic.com.

Miranda Lambert’s PALOMINO Primed For Release This Friday, April 29

By on April 26, 2022 in In The Press, Music, Press Releases, The Latest
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As lead single “If I Was A Cowboy” climbs the Top 20 at Country radio, reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year Miranda Lambert is set to release her eighth solo album, Palomino, this Friday, April 29 via Vanner Records/RCA Records Nashville/Sony Music Nashville. Pre-order / pre-save HERE.

“The making of this record has been one of the most fun and creative experiences of my career,” reflects the Texan songstress. “Luke Dick, Natalie Hemby and I went out to my farm in Tennessee in 2020 and started writing songs… We figured, while we have time, let’s get out to the country and see what happens. The first one we wrote was ‘Tourist’ and that set us on a path to create something with a bit of a theme. Since we couldn’t travel at the time, we decided to go on a journey through songs… I hope y’all are ready to travel with us wandering spirits and meet some cool characters with great stories.”

In the May print issue on stands now, Rolling Stone declares “Country music’s most ambitious artist keeps following her freewheeling spirit” on the new album, which displays “the country star’s reputation for stylistic risks” via “a multi-hued batch of songs about movement and characters who drift from place to place – sometimes because they want to, sometimes because they have to.” Yahoo Entertainment also offered early praise for Palomino, including the project in this week’s “It List” and noting that “this trailblazer once again confounds expectations and pushes musical boundaries.”

Visiting 30+ locations and countless characters along the way, the expansive 15-song project takes listeners on a freewheeling trek from the Mojave Desert to Battambang, Cambodia and everywhere in between. Lambert serves as a co-writer on 14 of the 15 songs, with the only outside cut arriving via a rousing cover of Mick Jagger’s “Wandering Spirit.”

With all seven of her previous solo albums debuting at No. 1 and recent collaborative project The Marfa Tapes earning her a sixth GRAMMY nod for Best Country Album, both Vulture and USA Today named Palomino among the most anticipated projects this year, with the latter recognizing the 37-time ACM Award winner’s “progressive sound” and celebrating her as “always a bit of a country maverick.”

Lambert will celebrate the release of the eagerly awaited album by kicking off a spring run of shows this week, including a headlining appearance at Nashville’s FirstBank Amphitheater on the eve of the album, before launching her co-headlining The Bandwagon Tour with Little Big Town in her home state of Texas next Friday, May 6.

For more information, visit www.MirandaLambert.com and follow on social media @MirandaLambert.

About Miranda Lambert

Set for release April 29, Palomino, the eighth solo album from Vanner Records/RCA Nashville superstar Miranda Lambert, is the latest installment in a storied career that has spanned seven consecutive No. 1 solo albums, 10 No. 1 hit radio singles, more than 70 prestigious awards and countless sales certifications, earning the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year praise from NPR as “the most riveting country star of her generation.”

Following 2019’s critically acclaimed release of her GRAMMY Award-winning album, Wildcard, the Texas native ushered in her next musical era with the recent release of Palomino lead single “If I Was a Cowboy” (currently climbing the Top 20 at Country radio), while also adding her voice to Netflix’s new season of Queer Eye with inclusive anthem “Y’all Means All.” She is set to hit the road on The Bandwagon Tour with Little Big Town this spring and will kick off her Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency at the Zappos Theater at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in September.

In addition to Wildcard, the celebrated singer/songwriter’s lauded discography includes The Weight of These Wings (2016), Platinum (2014), Four The Record (2011), Revolution (2009), Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2007) and Kerosene (2005). She has also released three albums with her trio, the Pistol Annies, as well as 2021’s The Marfa Tapes, a critically acclaimed and GRAMMY-nominated, raw and intimate recording with collaborators Jack Ingram and Jon Randall.
