(From Yahoo.com) "It's not nice sometimes, but I think you've got to take it with a grain of salt," Lambert, 38, told CBS Sunday Morning of having all eyes on her private life. Her career, however, makes it easier to put the rumor mill to rest.
"I'm a singer-songwriter, so luckily I can tell my whole truth," she noted. "I will not lie in my music."
Describing herself as more at "peace with myself" now in comparison to her first CBS Sunday Morning interview in 2014, about a year before she and Shelton, 45, called time on their four-year marriage, 
Lambert went on to gush about finding love again with second husband Brendan McLoughlin. She describes falling in love with the former New York City policeman as "like some kind of Hallmark movie or something — this redneck from Texas meets this beautiful NYPD officer on the street in New York."
Jarabe Mexicano invites audiences on a joyride through a versatile songbook of Mexican Folk as well as Rock & Roll, Tex-Mex, Latin Rock, and Reggae-Cumbia. Performing on stringed folk instruments accompanied by lively percussion, Jarabe’s dramatic, harmonized vocals in Spanish and English have gained them the admiration of audiences across the country.

Cultural anthropologist, distinguished author, and admirer Dr. Alejandro Lugo raves that Jarabe’s musicians “are truly excellent and bring new blood to the musical traditions they perform… their version of ‘La Malagueña’ is simply the best I’ve heard in decades, if not ever.”
Michael Cavanaugh is the new voice of the American Rock & Roll Songbook and a charismatic performer and musician made famous for his piano/lead vocals in the Broadway musical Movin’ Out. Handpicked by Billy Joel to star in Movin’ Out, Cavanaugh evokes a style rivaling the Piano Man. He appeared in the show for three years with over 1,200 performances and received multiple accolades. The show culminated in 2003 with both Grammy and Tony award nominations.
This weekend Cavanaugh is in Galveston at The Grand Opera House with his take on celebrating the music of Billy Joel and Elton John.
Michael began playing at age seven, when his parents bought their first piano. Encouraged by family and friends, and inspired by his hero Billy Joel, Michael formed his first band at age 10 and began playing local functions, fine-tuning the craft that would become his chosen career. His first full-time gig as a musician was an extended engagement in Orlando, Florida, at a piano bar called Blazing Pianos. In January of 1999, Michael received an offer that would unknowingly change his life: an opportunity to play Las Vegas at the famed New York, New York Hotel and Casino.
This weekend its River To The Sea Produced By The San Jacinto Community College Steel Band at Miller Outdoor Theatre.
River to the Sea is a multi-movement work of the steel band. The creators of the program say, "Water connects all of us. Most cities of the world have formed and grown around a key water source and thrive because of their proximity to water. Houston is a prime example of this."
Musically speaking, the interaction of different cultures and societies from across the globe have been facilitated by this same connection to water. River to the Sea will reflect on this cultural interconnectivity as well as musically depict aspects of what draws us all to water, whether it be for work, survival, recreation, travel, or matters of the spirit.
The music department at San Jacinto Community College regularly produces graduates who are sought after by universities for both their performance and technical skills. Students and faculty perform regularly in recitals, and concerts, and guest artists perform and present workshops on campus frequently.
