Miranda Lambert Shows Up to Support Tyler Childers, Turnpike Troubadours in Texas
We’ve know for a while about Miranda Lambert’s penchant to show support to independent artists by attending their concerts, with John Moreland and the women of the Hard Candy Christmas Tour being just a few examples. And here’s another.
Saturday night (4-7) was the 7th Annual Dia Del Gallo celebration at the historic Floore’s Country Store just outside of San Antonio in Texas. Roughly translated to “Day of the Rooster,” the annual country music revival anchored by the Turnpike Troubadours also saw surging independent country artist Tyler Childers, as well as regular Turnpike tour opener Charley Crockett perform on the chilly evening.
But the most famous performer in attendance Saturday night might have been standing to the side of the stage instead of on it. According to Miranda Lambert’s Instagram feed, she was ringside to watch Tyler Childers (and the others) entertain the sold out crowd. “@timmytychilders Couldn’t post a video I was saaangin too loud! #itscoldinTexas,” Miranda posted. Central Texas experienced an unusual mid spring cold snap on Saturday, putting a chill in the air of the outdoor event.
Saving Country Music was supposed to be covering Dia Del Gallo, but at the last minute press and photo passes were all squashed, perhaps because they knew Miranda would be in the crowd.
Miranda was also in Texas over the weekend to attend the twice yearly massive antique swap in the town of Round Top, posting a picture of herself with the women of Junk Gypsy out digging for treasures. Miranda is a Texas native who is not stranger to Texas music, supporting Adam Hood early in his career (who she also saw on Friday at the River Road Icehouse in New Braunfels), and taking the Turnpike Troubadours out on tour with her multiple times, including the upcoming Bandwagon Tour, which will also feature Southern rock revivalists The Steel Woods, high caliber songwriter Natalie Hemby, and Canadian up-and-comer Tenille Townes.
Miranda is playing her next official show on June 2nd in Durant, Oklahoma before the Bandwagon Tour starts in July. An no rumors you bastards, Tyler Childers is married. It’s just Miranda being Miranda, which is one of the few truly mainstream artists willing to give of her time and energy to support the little guy.

Miranda just might be our Emmylou.

In many ways, I find Miranda’s support and championing of so many different lesser known acts more impactful than her music. Much like the article a week or two ago about Eric Church brought up, I very much respect major acts shining lights on other artists.

Isn’t Miranda still with Anderson anyways?
April 9, 2018 @ 9:09 am
According to numerous ‘news’ posts on the internet, Miranda and Anderson have ended their relationship. Here’s one link:

As if this has ANYTHING TO DO with this article. SMH.
April 9, 2018 @ 3:36 pm
I clicked on that link and I got a message the site is trying to steal confidential information.
April 9, 2018 @ 2:24 pm
No she’s not anymore
April 9, 2018 @ 2:59 pm
Good for him, there’s a lot better
April 10, 2018 @ 4:17 am
Yeah better for her. You’re a true douche bag.
April 9, 2018 @ 4:55 pm
Nope… I just read where they broke up!
April 9, 2018 @ 8:32 am
Look no further than TWOTW to hear her influences . It certainly doesn’t come from music row .
She goes to the source for her inspiration .
April 9, 2018 @ 9:14 am
I notice you didn’t mention Eric Church’s marital status in the article about him. Why give people who think you’re a sexist ammo?
April 9, 2018 @ 10:07 am
So is that enough for you to give people ammo to attack you???
What does this article have to do with Eric Church
April 9, 2018 @ 10:14 am
I suspect people would wonder if Miranda wand Tyler were dating. She broke up with Anderson a couple months ago. And one of the first clues that Miranda and Anderson were dating, is that she started showing up at several of his shows.

Says in the article that Childers is married, but I guess you never know.
April 9, 2018 @ 11:12 am
Guys, ain’t no reason at all that Mr. Childers would have anything to do with Ms. Lambert.
He’s got a gem already.

No doubt ..Tyler has a beautiful wife Senora
April 10, 2018 @ 11:26 am
Don’t think Tyler’s the one people should be wondering about …
April 9, 2018 @ 10:25 am
Does this crap EVER end?
April 9, 2018 @ 3:17 pm
What crap? Praising Miranda on SCM everytime she scratches her ass? No.
April 9, 2018 @ 10:12 am
It’s cool that Miranda does this, I think a lot of the mainstream bigger names though do things that help out more unknown musicians: from bringing them on tours, to booking them into their restaurants etc.
April 9, 2018 @ 10:24 am
And she’s still a pop-“Country” star who’s done more harm than good to Country Music over the entirety of her career.

Couple years back, saw Hayes at Greune Hall. Miranda was hanging out In the crowd and it seem
April 9, 2018 @ 10:33 am
Stupid phone, hit post before done. What I found cool, nobody bothered her. She was there to enjoy the show and the fans seemed happy she was supporting Hayes.
April 9, 2018 @ 11:01 am
That’s one of the cool things about independent fans. They’re not going to fan girl out on someone like Miranda who’s there to support and take in a show. They acknowledge and respect their presence, and let them enjoy the show like a normal person.
April 9, 2018 @ 1:07 pm
People commented on her IG that she was rude to people trying to take pictures of her but that they still liked her anyways, so obviously some people were fanning out
April 9, 2018 @ 11:06 am
Hands off Miranda!
This stuff is cool, but seems negated when she sings a duet on Jason Aldean’s upcoming album or goes on tour with Little Big Town.
I’m a Miranda fan either way, but sometimes her bro-love and pandering to the mainstream gets in the way.
April 9, 2018 @ 12:34 pm
If she cares so much about traditional Country Music it would have been nice if she called out her rude obnoxious husband when he called us all old farts and jackasses.
She’ll give us traditional fans a bit of lip service, but its a lot of closing the gate after the cows are all gone.
She won’t call out the mainstream because they keep showering awards on her and she’s like a junkie who needs her stuff and won’t ever let the attention be on somebody else.
don’t be fooled, folks
April 9, 2018 @ 9:42 pm
You are an old fart and a jackass. You bring this up every chance you get. Own it. Be proud of it. Otherwise every time you go off you are proving him right.
April 10, 2018 @ 6:13 am
You obviously don’t care very much about Country Music… so why even comment here in the first place?
April 10, 2018 @ 9:15 am
Everyone is welcome here Fuzzy.
April 9, 2018 @ 3:37 pm
Very cool. I like Miranda and I like her music. Cool of her to do the this.
April 9, 2018 @ 4:15 pm
blake shelton was also married when he and miranda got together….. just saying
April 9, 2018 @ 6:17 pm
Lord she can’t even go to a show to listen to music she likes without people hating on her. People can be so rude and harsh for no reason. I love Miranda and her music. Negativity in this world is such a sad thing. She can’t do anything without someone having something mean or unnessary to say.
April 9, 2018 @ 6:19 pm
Where’s the love for Charley Crockett??
April 9, 2018 @ 6:22 pm
NM. I just saw it.
April 9, 2018 @ 6:33 pm
Charley Crockett was mentioned in the article. There just wasn’t enough space in the title bar.
Please note, Saving Country Music was supposed to cover this event with a photographer, and we got 86’d last minute, perhaps due to Miranda being there. It’s unfortunate because we wanted to cover the event more in-depth, including Charley Crockett.
April 9, 2018 @ 7:00 pm
Correct, I went back and reread it after I submitted my comment.
Unfortunate y’all got 86’d. Looked like a damn cool night. Pun intended.
April 9, 2018 @ 6:29 pm
Miranda rocks!
April 9, 2018 @ 8:42 pm
Tyler was safely home with his wonderful wife in KY after his show so let’s not drag him into her mess. Word is anyway Miranda’s been seeing a local Austin country singer for quite a while now and that’s why she’s been spending quite a bit of time in Texas.
April 10, 2018 @ 12:52 am
Love Miranda and her music. She’s supporting independent artists because that’s who she is. The Oak Ridge Boys, Wanda Jackson and Jessie Colter came to her Living Like Hippies Tour to her shows. Her personal life is her business.
April 10, 2018 @ 5:48 am
Good for Miranda supporting acts that usually don’t get enough attention.
April 20, 2018 @ 11:04 pm
I’ve never cared for her…but she’s going after a married man again?blake shelton,her manager,Even Felker,now tyler? Wow!!
