“I
hate to use a cliché but it really is an honor to see your name on the
list of ACM nominees with so many amazing artists that you've been a
fan of and admired for years. The "new kids" like me and Jason are
honored just to be among them,” says Lambert.
Two thousand and six
couldn’t be any hotter for Lambert. Her hit single Kerosene broke
Billboard’s Top 20 and collected three CMT Award Nominations including
Female Video of the Year, Breakthrough Video of the Year and Trey
Fanjoy for Video Director of the Year. She was also
spotlighted in a steamy four-page feature in Blender magazine and has been opening sold out arena shows for country music superstar George
Strait
Aldean’s
star is on a similar rise with a Top 10 single and No. 1 video under
his belt for “Hicktown,” and his current single “Why” blasting up the
charts to No. 13 this week. Aldean
was also honored to make the first-round nominees for the 2006 CMT
Music Awards for Breakthrough Video of the
Year with "Hicktown" and is scheduled to perform at the CMT
Award pre-show block party on April 10. Aldean has been burning up the asphalt this winter as an opening act for
Grammy-award winning group Rascal Flatts.
“Playing
to sold out arenas on the Flatts tour has been a wild experience and
has really helped me polish up my live show,” says Aldean.
“I’m looking forward to getting out on the road with Miranda because I
think our fans are real similar. They like to have a good
time and we’re going to show them one!”
