In this special episode, we pull back the curtain on CBS's groundbreaking new docu-follow series, The Road. Produced by Taylor Sheridan and Blake Shelton, this show follows 12 emerging musicians as they compete to become the ultimate opening act for superstar Keith Urban. It’s the gritty reality of life on the tour bus mixed with the intense pressure of a country music competition.
We’re bringing together some of the most compelling artists from this season, including:
Adam Sanders, a writer of #1 hits, who explains the challenging leap of transitioning from a behind-the-scenes songwriter to a spotlight artist and reveals if there's a hit song he wishes he hadn't given away.
Jon Wood, who discusses how he's been able to successfully navigate the often-challenging waters of the Nashville music industry for so long, and shares his surreal experience of seeing his life on national TV.
Jenny Tolman, who dives into her colorful "Jennyville" universe, discusses why the taboo of motherhood and a music career is finally fading, and shares the insider tips she got from her music-industry dad.
Cassidy Daniels, who shares how being an Army child and moving every year helped her develop the social skills and deep empathy that fuels her songwriting, and what it’s like writing with a music legend.
Plus, you'll hear from each artist on the ultimate question every musician faces: their Top 3 "Desert Island" Albums.
Get an unprecedented look at the 12 artists traveling the country, singing their hearts out for a chance at a massive prize package: a $250,000 cash award, a recording contract, a performance slot on the Mane Stage at Stagecoach 2026, and more. Don't miss this insider preview before the bus rolls out!
The Road's new extended premiere airs Sunday, October 19 (9:00-10:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streams live and on-demand on Paramount+.
