We voted for “Dry Town”. Who did you vote for?
You may not know his name, but you definitely know his work. Since his stint on the first season of Nashville Star, Travis Howard has been racking up quite a resume. The Georgia native has music in his blood from his mom who was 60’s gospel singer. Once his uncles taught him how to play the guitar, there was no stopping him.
While performing at coffee shops around LA, a producer from Nashville Star approached him about being on the show. Apprehensive at first, a friend at Sony told him “Seriously. What are you doing now? Bartending? And that’s better than being on a TV show? Just do the f***ing show.” Next thing you know, he is a contest on season 1 of Nashville Star.
While he did not win Nashville Star, he and Miranda Lambert - a fellow contestant - stayed close friends. Unless you live under a rock, you’ve heard a song he wrote called ‘Famous In A Small Town’ which was on Miranda’s album ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’ that took home album of the year at the 2008 Academy of Country Music Awards.
In addition to his writing skills, Howard has dabbled in acting with a role in Elizabethtown as well as in Lamberts’ video for ‘Kerosene’. “I was the naked guy in the bed licking all over the girl as Miranda is lighting us up.”
Currently, he is working with Miranda on her third album and producing another musician from LA. If you happen to be in Nashvile on a Wednesday night, be sure to catch his current show ‘Give-A-Damn Wednesdays’ at 12 & Porter with Kyle Wyley and Nathan Lee. All proceeds from these shows go to charity.
Pretty awesome resume so far. We expect him to be around for quite some time. Be sure to check out his myspace page to hear some music!
IT’S OFFICIAL! Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert will by join Kenny Chesney on his entire Sun City Carnival tour! Amazing! We can wait to see who else will be joining him on his tour. Be sure to get tickets quickly, his Boston show sold out in 10 minutes.
Miranda Lambert has been named “Field & Stream” Magazines hero of the year. Lambert is an avid hunter… Who’da thunk-it? We had no idea, although we’re not surprised at all. She is hardcore! Blake Shelton has got himself a kickass woman!
How random but so cool!
Back in February, F&S interviewed Miranda about hunting, with very little talk about music. She tells F&S that she loves to hunt because it gives her a chance to “recharge her batteries” and clear her head. Click HERE to read the entire interview. It’s really cool!
Congrats Miranda.
Rumors are flying that Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert will be opening for Kenny Chesney during his 2009 tour. Also, joining Kenny is rumored to be Sugarland and Montgomery Gentry. We’ve seen Kenny perform before and loved it. This is a ridiculous line-up! We’re holding out for the official announcement. Keep your fingers crossed.
Who would you like to see open for Kenny?
