Miranda Lambert’s Muttnation Foundation & Tractor Supply Company Award Over $250,000 In Surprise Grants To Animal Shelters

Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico Receive Muttnation Grant

Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation teamed up with Tractor Supply Company to award $255,000 in grants to animal shelters across the nation. One animal rescue organization in each state along with a “Wildcard” pick, paying tribute to Lambert’s Grammy Award-winning album of the same name, is surprised with a $5,000 grant.

“Mutts Across America is MuttNation’s cornerstone program, created by my mother, Bev, over 10 years ago as a way for MuttNation to recognize outstanding shelters nationwide. Once a year, it lets us show our appreciation to the shelters, their staff and volunteers, for the hard work they do every day,” shares Lambert. “And, thanks to Tractor Supply’s steadfast commitment to animals and great support of MuttNation, we’re now able to make an even bigger impact.”

Anne Wilson’s tornado relief benefit concert this week in her home state of Kentucky raised over $100,000. The show benefited both The Sheppard Family Foundation’s direct work with families in London, Kentucky and Laurel County and the region-wide Appalachian Tornado Relief Fund, organized by the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky and the Upper Cumberland Community Foundation.

“As a Kentucky girl, this one hit close to home,” shares Wilson. “I’m overwhelmed by God’s grace and the generosity He stirred in people’s hearts last night. Whether you bought a ticket, prayed over this event or simply showed up to worship together – thank you. These communities are still healing, but I know God is moving, and I pray this brings them one step closer to feeling whole again.”

Josh Green Launches Signal Fire Agency, LLC


Josh Green has launched Signal Fire Agency, LLC, a boutique booking agency based in Nashville. The agency’s initial roster includes Them Dirty Roses, who’s single “Cocaine & Whiskey” recently earned RIAA Gold certification.

“I’ve long considered starting my own agency, and when the opportunity arose, it felt like the right time to fully bet on myself and the artists I believe in,” says Green. “After years working within both boutique and major agencies, I’ve gained a deep understanding of how to build and scale touring careers. That experience, paired with the relationships I’ve cultivated, will allow Signal Fire to remain artist-first while offering strategic, hands-on representation designed to grow sustainable, high-impact touring businesses.”

Green began his career by talent buying and booking regional acts across Georgia and the southeast before relocating to Nashville in 2013. He initially launched Five Point Music, where he signed Colter Wall. In 2016, he joined Red 11 Music, where he played a key role in booking appearances and tours for a roster that included Turnpike Troubadours, Charley Crockett, Shooter Jennings and more. Following Red 11’s 2023 acquisition by WME, Green joined the agency’s newly formed American Roots division.
