Grammy winner Gretchen Wilson has joined Blake Shelton and Keith Urban on The Road. Wilson is on board the music competition series as “tour manager,” providing support and guidance to aspiring musicians as they hit the road for a tour across America.
“Stepping into the role of ‘tour manager’ for The Road has allowed me to take everything I’ve learned over all of my years of touring and pour it right back into these emerging musicians. Helping them sharpen their talents to capture the attention of these crowds across America, and guiding them through the real and raw grind of life on the road has been a highlight of my career,” stated Wilson. “Working with Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Taylor Sheridan, and the rest of the team and our incredible crew was absolutely amazing. It was an honor to be a part of this team and I can’t wait for the world to watch!”
CBS’s announcement also confirmed fans can expect to see Wilson perform during season one of The Road. The series will be part of CBS’s primetime lineup this fall.
“CBS Original The Road highlights Urban, who also serves as the headlining superstar for the series, and Shelton’s journey to discover the next big musician, with emerging talents (to be announced) opening for Urban at music venues across America,” reads CBS’s synopsis. “The series offers viewers a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring musician. With exclusive access to the behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.”
Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Lee Metzger, David Glasser, and Taylor Sheridan serve as executive producers.
