Adam Sanders Wins The First Season Of ‘The Road’

December 22, 2025/by Lauryn Sink

Adam Sanders.

Adam Sanders has been crowned the winner of the first season of The Road, earning a cash prize or $250,000, as well as a slot at Stagecoach and the Red Bull Jukebox show at The Pinnacle in Nashville in 2026.

Sanders competed as one of the 12 artists on the new CBS & Paramount+ music competition docu-series TV show opening for Keith Urban. Produced by Taylor Sheridan and Blake Shelton, the show premiered earlier this fall.

The Lake City Florida native is currently signed to Liz Rose Music Publishing. He has earned two No. 1 hits with Dustin Lynch’s “Hell of a Night” and Cole Swindell’s “You Ain’t Worth The Whiskey,” and additional cuts from Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Blake Shelton and Drew Baldridge. He has toured with Lynch, Bryan, Swindell, Eric Church, Thomas Rhett and Justin Moore, among others.

His current singles, “Cat In A Hat” and “Bible In A House Fire” are out now, with a full length project slated to be released in 2026.

Sanders earned praise from the judges of the competition, with Urban stating, “He always performs in such a way that he makes it look like everyone else on The Road is opening for him.”

Gretchen Wilson, who served as the tour manager during the competition, says, “Adam has a lot of confidence. As far as stage presence, vocal ability, his songwriting ability he’s got it down.”
