THE ROAD (Sundays, 9:00-10:00 PM) offers viewers a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring artist. With exclusive access to 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. From executive producers Taylor Sheridan, Blake Shelton, David C. Glasser, Lee Metzger and Keith Urban, the docu-follow format trails Grammy Award winner Urban on his journey to discover the next big artist alongside fellow Grammy Award winner Gretchen Wilson, who acts as the “tour manager”. Singers will join the headliner on tour, performing as opening acts in venues across the country. They will compete to win over local fanbases to secure a spot in the next city and remain on the tour. Pictured: Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, and Blake Shelton.

Blake Shelton’s “The Road” Adds Guest Mentors
Blake Shelton’s brand-new competition series “The Road” just premiered, and there’s more star power joining him for season one.
The guest mentors include Dustin Lynch, Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, Jordan Davis, and Brothers Osborne.
They’ll work with the show’s 12 contestants as they chase a record deal and a $250,000 prize.
Gretchen Wilson will serve as the on-the-road tour manager, and the contestants will open for Keith Urban at real venues across the country.
Blake admits he didn’t jump at the idea of doing another singing competition, but pairing up with “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan was too good to pass up.
