News From Around The Country

Zac Brown Band, Miranda Lambert, and Jamey Johnson will be representing country music at the 2010 Bonnaroo Festival. ….. Miranda Lambert will host her third annual “Cause for Paws” fundraiser on May 15th in Tyler, Texas. All proceeds go to Miranda’s favorite charity, the Humane Society of East Texas. ….. And finally, if you ever had any doubts that country music is based on real life experiences, Carrie Underwood shares the story of her first date. She was 16, and the boy was 18. “And he came in, and my dad actually had gotten out his shotguns earlier to start cleanin’ ‘em. I don’t know why he decided to clean them right before my first date, but he did. Mom made him put ‘em up, though,” said Carrie. The date was a complete bust. Her date had planned to take her to an R-rated film but since she wasn’t 18 they had to see a movie Carrie admits was “horrible.” They left halfway through the film and the guy took her home.
