Country star Miranda Lambert will perform at the Mullins Center tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Miranda Lambert performs at the Lorain County Fair.Miranda Lambert -- the first ever country singer to top the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums charts for her first four studio albums -- is performing tonight at the University of Massachusetts Mullins Center.
Lambert is stopping in Amherst with special guests Chris Young and Jerrod Niemann as part of her “On Fire” tour. Lambert began touring after her fourth studio album, “Four the Record” was released in November of last year.
The increasingly popular singer quickly adjusted to fame when she signed with Epic Records and released her first studio album, “Kerosene,” in 2005. The certified platinum record featured the hit single “Me and Charlie Talking,” and landed Lambert the Academy of Country Music’s acclaimed title of Top New Female Vocalist in 2007.
Sticking to her hot streak, Lambert released her second studio album, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” in 2007. This certified gold album portrayed the singer in a slightly more hostile light, but still earned her the ACM Album of the Year award. Lambert toured for “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” alongside country singer Blake Shelton in the fall of 2008, which soon blossomed into romance for the musical duo.
Soon after Lambert released her third studio album, “Revolution,” released in 2009 and certified platinum. Singles off the album such as “The House That Built Me” and “Heart Like Mine” quickly shot to the number one position on the U.S. Billboard Country Singles chart.
Lambert and Shelton wed in May of 2011. Wasting no time, the country star released her fourth and most recent studio album, cleverly titled “Four the Record,” in November 2011. Among a slew of other awards, Lambert was granted Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year award in 2011. She also reeled in four out of the nine CMA awards she was nominated for in 2010.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and Lambert and special guests will kick off their performance at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are still available at the Mullins Center Box Office, through ticketmaster.com or by calling 800.745.3000.
