The Truth today announced that three-time GRAMMY Award-winner and winningest artist in Academy of Country Music history Miranda Lambert will headline its inaugural performance on Thursday, October 1, opening Nashville’s new 4,400-capacity venue in Wedgewood-Houston.
Presented as "Miranda Lambert: One Night Only," the opening-night performance will feature a 12-piece string section as Lambert performs her wide-ranging catalog of hits and previews a selection of songs off her highly anticipated new album, Crisco, ahead of its release at midnight that evening.
“It was magical to hear the way strings can transform a song when we were in the studio creating this record, and I can’t wait to bring that to life in an even bigger way with our full setlist,” shared Lambert. “We’ve never gotten to play that way on stage, and to have the opportunity to do it for the first time at the opening of a beautiful new venue right here in Nashville is going to be really special.”
The event marks the beginning of a new chapter for Nashville’s live music scene and sets the tone for The Truth’s mission to be a room where great songs, singular artists and unexpected live experiences can take center stage.
Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, August 21, at 10:00 a.m. CT at thetruthnashville.com.
“There couldn’t be a more fitting artist to open The Truth than Miranda Lambert,” said Sally Williams, President of Nashville Music & Business Strategy, Live Nation. “She’s a songwriter at her core, a trailblazer who has always followed her own creative instincts, and an artist who has never been afraid to push beyond the boundaries of genre. At the same time, there is an honesty and directness in her music that connects deeply with people. That combination of great songs, fearless artistry and real connection with an audience is exactly what we want The Truth to celebrate.”
“From the beginning, we envisioned The Truth as an intimate room where artists could create deeper connections with their fans,” said Grant Lyman, President, Live Nation U.S. Regions East. “Miranda Lambert is an incredible artist to introduce this experience and kick off an inaugural season that reflects the breadth of live music that makes Nashville such an extraordinary music city.”
