Miranda Lambert’s Surprise Performance at Sturgis
On Tuesday night, August 11, Miranda Lambert electrified the crowd at the Full Throttle Saloon during the 86th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. The acclaimed country singer, who hails from Texas, headlined the event, showcasing a collection of her greatest hits before inviting fellow country artists Gretchen Wilson and Lainey Wilson to join her on stage for some memorable performances.
Collaborative Moments on Stage
The dynamic trio delivered an exhilarating version of Gretchen Wilson’s iconic 2004 hit “Redneck Woman,” with Wilson taking the lead vocals while Lambert and Lainey provided harmonious support. During this lively performance, Gretchen even personalized the lyrics, giving a nod to Lainey with the line, “I know all the words to every Lainey Wilson song.”
In addition to this classic, the three artists teamed up again for Lambert’s beloved anthem, “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home),” creating yet another unforgettable all-female moment that fans will cherish.
Highlights of the Evening
Before joining forces, Gretchen Wilson warmed up the audience with her earlier hit, “When It Rains.” Meanwhile, Lambert and Lainey Wilson performed their collaborative track “Good Horses” from Lainey’s album, Whirlwind. This performance marked another chapter in their musical partnership, making their reunion at Sturgis particularly special for fans.
New Music from Miranda Lambert
This star-studded night followed Lambert’s recent announcement regarding her 10th studio album, Crisco, highlighted by the release of her new single, “Sunset Marquis.” This enchanting, retro-inspired track pays homage to the legendary West Hollywood hotel that has long served as a creative haven for Lambert and many other artists.
Reflecting on her time at the Sunset Marquis, Lambert shared, “I’ve been staying at the Sunset Marquis for close to 20 years. Every time I’m there, you never know who you’re going to run into or what kind of memories you’re going to make. It has this timeless energy that feels like stepping into another era.” She hopes listeners can experience the magic of the Sunset Marquis through her music.
“Sunset Marquis” adds to the album’s previously released title track and the GRAMMY-nominated collaboration “A Song To Sing” featuring Chris Stapleton. Produced by Lambert and Frasure, Crisco will feature 12 tracks that blend traditional country roots with disco influences. To celebrate the release, Lambert is set to host a special show in her home state at Billy Bob’s on October 6.
