Tishomingo News

Fresh off her appearance at last weekend's CMA Music Festival, Miranda Lambert is enjoying a little downtime with her pets at home in Tishomingo, OK this week.

The reason for the sudden increase ids due to work by two famous country music stars who call Tishomingo home.

Miranda Lambert may be one-half of country music's modern version of Johnny and June, but her whole heart is invested in Oklahoma.

On any given morning in the Blake Shelton - Miranda Lambert household in Tishomingo, Okla., there's one thing you can count on, sometimes before the coffee's even been brewed: "I'm always pestering her," Shelton says with a laugh.

The 2.9 magnitude quake struck just after 5:15 a.m. about 12 miles northwest of Tishomingo, and 84 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.

Blake Shelton led an all-star cast of performers into Oklahoma City on Wednesday night to perform at "Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert." By 10:08 Central Time, before the show aired on the West Coast, the concert had raised $3.7 million for the United Way of Central Oklahoma's May Tornadoes Relief Fund, said Stacey D. Stewart , U.S.

Some of country music's most famous sons and daughters call Oklahoma home. When an EF-5 tornado tore through their home state on May 20, helping was not optional.

Blake Shelton has lined up Miranda Lambert , Reba and Vince Gill to perform at his telethon, Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert, coming up Wednesday, May 29 at Oklahoma City's Chesapeake Energy Center.

Oklahoma country music star Blake Shelton's "Healing in the Heartland" tornado benefit concert is set for Wednesday at Chesapeake Energy Arena, reports the Associated Press.

Blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd remembers what it's like. He grew up in Shreveport, La., and has vivid memories of the sky turning a sickly color and the winds suddenly whipping up around his town.

Reaction to the storms began pouring in Monday night with celebrities -- Oklahoma natives and otherwise -- expressing their thoughts and offering prayers.
