The country music icon will be the first star to shine during the inaugural season of CMT’s new summertime concert series.
OK, we admit it: We just can’t get enough of Tanya Tucker. So you can be sure we’ll be watching when the Grammy Award-winning living legend kicks off the inaugural season of the new summertime concert series CMT Summer Sessions at 9 pm ET/8 pm CT Friday on CMT.
Tucker will perform some of her biggest hits and all-new music at a lakeside location in Franklin, Tennessee. Among the highlights: Her rendition of “When the Rodeo is Over (Where Does the Cowboy Go?),” the new song off her highly anticipated new album Sweet Western Sound.
Here’s a preview.
In subsequent weeks, CMT’s warm-weather series will continue to deliver a unique summertime soundtrack, featuring a star-packed lineup of country hitmakers: Chris Janson (July 14), BRELAND (July 21), a “Summer Jams”-themed episode hosted by BRELAND (July 28), Jordan Davis (August 4), Lee Brice (August 11), a “90s Country”-themed episode hosted by Lee Brice (August 18) and Ashley McBryde (August 25). Each episode will be available to stream next day on CMT.com and the Paramount Network App.
