LeAnn Rimes Enlists The Next Generation Of Female Country Artists For ‘CMT Crossroads’
Multi-Platinum singer-songwriter LeAnn Rimes is the next headliner on an upcoming installment of CMT Crossroads.
CMT Crossroads: LeAnn Rimes & Friends will feature a powerhouse lineup of Ashley McBryde, Brandy Clark, Carly Pearce and Mickey Guyton, and will premiere Thursday, April 14 at 7 p.m. CT exclusively on CMT.
The all-female concert event celebrates Rimes’ 25th career anniversary. From her biggest chart-topping hits alongside new songs, the 90-minute special brings the Grammy award-winning vocalist together with the next generation of female artists who have been inspired and influenced by her music.
“It was such a magical and surreal experience, celebrating the past 25 years of my music as a full installment of CMT Crossroads. And to share the stage with women who are each, so unique and truly standing in their own magnificence, to get to hear firsthand how I have, in some special way, influenced their artistry… it was humbling and special,” shares Rimes, who recently announced her upcoming “The Story…So Far Tour.” “This is such an expansive year for me, from my new album release later this year to my upcoming tour, and I could not think of a better way to kick it all off than to celebrate the past, present and future with this memorable show.”
“What better way to celebrate LeAnn’s music and legacy than to bring together those who credit LeAnn for inspiring their own careers,” adds Margaret Comeaux, Executive Producer & Senior Vice President, Production, CMT. “The reciprocal admiration amongst these women is more than evident throughout filming, and makes for a truly magical connection on stage in this special extended episode of CMT Crossroads.”
A 3x CMT Music Awards nominee, Rimes took home her first trophy in 2008 for Collaborative Video of the Year with Bon Jovi. She also celebrated the world premiere of “Swingin’” and a performance of “Nothin’ Better To Do” at past CMT Music Awards. Rimes also teamed up with British soul singer Joss Stone for a special edition of CMT Crossroads.
