Miranda Lambert
Apr 11, 2011
If you've ever thought Columbia/Nashville artist Miranda Lambert's life would make a good TV show you're not the only one. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Miranda is developing an hour-long drama for ABC Family Television Network. The show will be based on Miranda's childhood in Texas, about a family with parents who are private investigators and their children who help them solve crimes. According to the report, both Miranda and her mother, Beverly, will serve as executive producers on the show along with a few others.
This won't be the first time Miranda's fans have gotten a glimpse of her experiences growing up, as many of her memories have ended up in her songs such as Gunpowder & Lead. "The song is actually about waiting for a husband to get out of jail so she can shoot him, but, it came from a really real place in my life," Miranda said. "When I was 14 years old, my parents took in abused women and children. I had to share my room with a mom and daughter, and my brother had to share with two brothers. Their mom lived downstairs, and it was a three bedroom house. It really has a meaning to me."
And, as if producing a TV show wasn't enough to add to her already full plate, Miranda is also headed to the baseball field. Miranda is the latest addition to the Tampa Bay Ray's Summer Concert Series, which means she will perform at Tropicana Field following the Ray's game against the Toronto Blue Jays on September 24th. Capitol Records Nashville artist Darius Rucker was also added to the line-up and will play on May 14th.
