The New Faces of Country Music® Show is returning to Country Radio Seminar for its 53rd year and it’s one that shouldn’t be missed.
The 11 talented voices that will vie for the final five spots include Gabby Barrett, Priscilla Block, Blanco Brown, Callista Clark, Walker Hayes, Ryan Hurd, Parker McCollum, Niko Moon, Jameson Rogers, Elvie Shane, and Lainey Wilson. While all deserve a spot in the “New Faces of Country Music” class, it will come down to the amount of votes each artist receives from industry executives involved in the programming, promotion, and distribution of country music, from the following types of companies: broadcast radio, satellite radio, television outlets, and digital service providers, while expressly excluding those with vested interests in individual artists or musical works such as labels, managers, agents, and publishers.
“These 11 artists represent a bright future for country music,” says Chuck Aly, CRB New Faces Committee chair in a recent press release. “They also give this year’s voters some very difficult choices to make.”
Voting for the Class of 2022 will be open to any individual who meets the above criteria beginning Monday, November 15 through Friday, November 19 at www.CountryRadioSeminar.com. The five acts with the most votes will make up the lineup for the show. They will join a list of mega-talented artists who are now making strides in the genre, including last year’s Tenille Arts, Travis Denning, HARDY, Ashley McBryde, and Matt Stell.
