It wouldn’t be a country music party without some special guests and surprises,” shares Kelley. “I’m thrilled to welcome my friends and fellow artists to the cast, and can’t wait to see what each one brings to the character of Bailey Stone.”
The multi-week event will feature a rotating lineup of country music guest artists who will step into the role of Bailey Stone, including Alana Springsteen, Alexandra Kay, Brealnd, Kelley, Canaan Smith, Caleb Lee Hutchinson, Chris Ruediger, Cooper Alan, Danielle Bradbery, Jamie O’Neal, Lainey Wilson, Lindsay Ell, LoCash, Nick Fradiani, Scarlett Burke, Thomas Mac, Tigirlily, Trent Harmon, and many more.

We’re already blown away by the caliber of talent and are looking forward to making these special guest moments fun for both the artist and the audience.”
“We are thrilled to host the world premiere of May We All at Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville next summer, and to be a part of this exciting collaboration,” says Jennifer Turner, TPAC President and CEO. “In Nashville, you never know who is going to appear on the many stages around town.
