Aug. 18 (UPI) — Willie Nelson, Trace Adkins, Wynonna Judd and Big & Rich are to appear on USA Network’s “Real Country” competition show this fall.
Radio star Graham Bunn is to serve as host of the eight-part series, which features a permanent panel of artists comprised of Shania Twain, Jake Owen and Travis Tritt.
The series is to debut on the cable network Nov. 13.
“In each hour-long episode, Twain, Owen and Tritt will hand-select emerging solo artists, duos and groups to perform in showcases that spotlight the rich traditions, songs and themes of country music. The best artists from each showcase will perform in a two-hour grand finale, for the chance to be named one of country music’s next breakout acts,” a press release said.
