Perfect Pitch: The Redbirds to Host Miranda Lambert as Part of “Music on the Diamond” Concert Series

MEMPHIS, Tennessee – The Memphis Redbirds today announced they will host Miranda Lambert in concert on Saturday, Sept. 28, at AutoZone Park (7 p.m.) as part of the launch of “Music on the Diamond,” a nationwide concert series featuring top artists performing against the backdrop of iconic Minor League ballparks. “Music on the Diamond” is a first-of-its-kind offering from Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH), the owner/operator of the Redbirds, and is promoted by William Morris Endeavor (WME) and Doussan Music Group (DMG). The series provides fans with an unparalleled opportunity to witness their favorite stars in a uniquely intimate atmosphere, such as nestled amidst the downtown Memphis skyline.

Lambert, a GRAMMY award winner and Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, will be the first musician to hit the stage at AutoZone Park for a full-scale production since Bob Dylan over 10 years ago.

“Our goal is to continue to bring unique events to the city of Memphis and make AutoZone Park a 365-day venue,” said Craig Unger, Redbirds President and General Manager. “With the support of DBH, hosting an artist at the caliber of Miranda Lambert is something we are very proud of, and we are excited for the opportunity to bring her concert to the Mid-South.”

“Bringing exciting new events and experiences that foster community and draw more people to our ballparks has been a goal of ours at DBH since the very beginning, so launching ‘Music on the Diamond’ is a momentous occasion for us,” said Pat Battle and Peter Freund, Executive Chairman and CEO of DBH, respectively. “Minor League ballparks provide some of the most unique atmospheres for entertainment and we’re thrilled to see these cornerstones of the community open their doors to the public as often as possible.”

Tickets for the Miranda Lambert concert are expected to sell out promptly, and will go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 26 with exclusive presales starting Tuesday, April 23.

About Miranda Lambert

Already a decorated songwriter, Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, passionate shelter animal advocate, restaurateur and business woman, superstar Miranda Lambert adds New York Times best-selling author to her impressive list of titles with the arrival of her debut book, “Y’all Eat Yet?,” available everywhere now.

Palomino, her eighth solo album, arrived in 2022 as the largest female Country album debut of the year and earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. Named among the best of the year by the New York Times, TIME, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, People and many more, it marks the latest installment in a storied career that has spanned seven previous No. 1 solo albums, 11 No. 1 hit radio singles, more than 80 prestigious awards and countless sales certifications, earning the most-awarded artist in ACM history praise from NPR as “the most riveting country star of her generation.”

With her headlining Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency extended through April 2024 at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Bakkt Theater, the top streaming female Country artist of 2022 was also named to the TIME100 list honoring the world’s most influential people, with Pitchfork declaring that she “manages the hat-trick of both timelessness and timely activism.” Whether challenging conventional gender notions in her recent Top 10 hit “If I Was A Cowboy” or using her voice to write and record the inclusive “Y’All Means All” anthem for Netflix’s “Queer Eye,” the Texas native continues to expand the tent of the Country genre via her music, including with her latest release, the cross-genre collaborations “If You Were Mine” with Leon Bridges and “Space In My Heart” with Enrique Iglesias.

Idyllwind, her clothing and cowboy boot collection, is an exclusive brand sold at all Boot Barn stores nationwide, while her home goods collection, Wanda June Home, is available exclusively at Walmart. She is also the first female artist to have her own venue on Broadway in Nashville with her Casa Rosa Tex-Mex cantina. An avid animal lover, Lambert’s MuttNation pet product line is available exclusively at Tractor Supply Co. with proceeds benefiting her MuttNation Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that has raised over $10 million since its inception in 2009. The Foundation’s mission is to promote the adoption of rescue pets, support animal shelters across the country, advance spay & neuter and assist with the transport of animals during times of natural disaster.
