The show continues the 10th anniversary celebration of CMT’s storied franchise and its newest and largest class to-date, and tickets are on sale today at citywinery.com. The upcoming showcase marks the third installment of the series this year, following CMT’s January 2023 event where 16 new artists were named to the “CMT Next Women of Country” franchise. Additional showcases will continue at City Winery Nashville throughout the year.

CMT first launched its “Next Women of Country” campaign in 2013 as a meaningful effort to support developing female talent, both signed and unsigned, in a male-dominated format. The initiative has grown significantly since its inception, showcasing emerging female artists across all CMT screens, including CMT and CMT Music, various digital series, performance showcases and seven tours anchored by acts including Jennifer Nettles, Martina McBride, Sara Evans, Tanya Tucker and Maddie & Tae. As of January 2023, a total of 111 female artists have been inducted into the program, with members earning more than 50 major awards, including nine Grammy Awards.
