Blake Shelton & Keith Urban\u2019s New Show \u201cThe Road\u201d Is Throwing Country Singers Into the Real Tour Life\u2014And They Just Took Over Cain\u2019s Ballroo<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n

No matter the singing competition, the format always appeared to be the same. A group of aspiring artists try to win over judges and viewers for a chance at stardom. While shows like\u00a0The Voice<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0American Idol<\/em>\u00a0continue to entertain and make singers\u2019 dreams come true, the upcoming show,\u00a0The Road<\/em>, executive produced by Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan, offers a different approach. Instead of taking over a studio, the show, helmed by\u00a0Keith Urban, decided to give contestants real experience by taking them on tour. Giving them a glimpse into what it takes to be a top performer, the show apparently took over the famed Cain\u2019s Ballroom for a special episode.<\/p>\n

Originally constructed in 1924 as a garage, Cain\u2019s Ballroom transformed over the years to become a hot venue for artists. Throughout the venue\u2019s history, artists like Leon Russell graced the stage. And it also welcomed Sex Pistols back in the late 1970s. Holding such a important place in music history, Executive producer Lee Metzger said, \u201cIt\u2019s a really cool space, anybody who\u2019s everybody has played at Cain\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for what fans should expect from\u00a0The Road<\/em>,\u00a0Metzger added, \u201cPart of the deal is we are playing in a lot of historical venues across the country, it\u2019s really important as we\u2019re breaking these country artists to let them see some of the history play in some of these venues a lot of their influences have played in at the same time win over fans in each city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides giving contestants a chance to make their own history, they will hit the road with country star\u00a0Keith Urban. Loving the premise, Urban took a trip down memory lane, looking back at his early years. \u201cI spent a lot of my underage life playing in some seedy pubs, sometimes just for the bartender. So I love the idea of throwing artists into a real-world environment to find out if they are artists.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Seeing the tough moments as the ones that helped define his career,\u00a0Urban insisted\u00a0touring and spending time on the road was crucial for any performer. \u201cFor me, touring has always been my first love. It\u2019s where the rubber meets the road. But it\u2019s the only road to take if you want to be a performer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
