Amazon Music Presents ‘We Are Country:’ A Month Of Exclusive Programming & Events
Amazon Music is celebrating country music throughout October with “We Are Country,” a month of exclusive new songs, livestreaming events, and special programming to celebrate country music month.
Throughout this month, Amazon Music listeners can tune into Country Class–Group Thread, a weekly livestreamed conversation between a panel of artists, creators, industry members, and entrepreneurs to discuss the meaning behind “We Are Country.” Frank Ray, Drew Green, and Conner Smith kicked off the series this week, with upcoming episodes featuring Reyna Roberts, Willie Jones, Lily Rose, Morgan Wade, and Priscilla Block. New episodes will release every Monday throughout October at 8 p.m. CT via Twitch.
“Country music is not a monolith,” notes Michelle Tigard Kammerer, Head of Country Music at Amazon Music.“‘We Are Country’ celebrates the fact that country artists and country fans cannot be solely defined as one person, one demographic, or one segment of the population. We are excited to share our diverse programming across all of the Amazon Music country verticals throughout October and beyond.”
All month long, fans will hear new and exclusive Amazon Original songs from their favorite artists, including a reimagined version of Thomas Rhett’s hit “Half of Me” featuring Riley Green, available now. Additional Amazon Originals will follow, including Zach Bryan’s “Burn, Burn, Burn” on Oct. 14, Walker Hayes’ “AA” on Oct. 21, Lily Rose’s version of “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen on Oct. 21, and Corey Kent’s take on Post Malone’s “Better Now” on Oct. 28.
New Country Heat Weekly podcast episodes will also roll out throughout October featuring in-depth conversations with Mickey Guyton (Oct. 13), Sam Williams (Oct. 20), and Elle King (Oct. 27).
