The Roadwill offer “a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring artist” with exclusive access to the behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry. The series will show “what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams,” per a press release.

OnThe Road, musicians will join the headliner on tour, performing as opening acts at venues throughout the country, and they will compete to win over local fanbases to land a spot in the next city and remain on tour.

“I’m a big fan of Taylor’s incredible work, and I’m excited to team with him and my long-time collaborator, Lee, onThe Road,” said Shelton, 48. “I know a thing or two about singing competitions and what it’s like to chase a music dream and live life on tour. I’m looking forward to discovering new talent and giving them this platform.”

Sheridan, 54, added, “There is a revolution taking place in country music. Building a platform with Blake for the next leaders of that revolution is an incredibly exciting venture. No more shiny floors and studio audiences. This is where the rubber meets the road – literally. Get in the van, go to the next town and win the crowd. Do it enough, and you become the next leader. Simple as that.”

Glasser, 53, called the project “a true labor of love.“

“I can’t thank CBS enough for supporting us on this journey to bring an incredible project to audiences everywhere,” he said.
