The Roxy Regional Theatre will take part in an old-time touring radio show this month as part of the WSM Road Show talent competition.
650 AM WSM, the radio home of the Grand Ole Opry, has launched the 2018 WSM Road Show, a live performance competition highlighting up and coming country music singer/songwriters. The talent competition will award one grand-prize winner the opportunity to play the Grand Ole Opry in 2018 on the same evening Alan Jackson makes an Opry appearance.
A two-hour matinee competition, the WSM Road Show will broadcast live on 650 AM and WSMonline.com from 1:00pm to 3:00pm, from the stages of these historic Tennessee theaters:
January 27, The Palace Theatre, Crossville
February 17, The Palace Theatre, Gallatin
February 24, Roxy Regional Theatre, Clarksville
March 10, Sugarlands Distilling Co., Gatlinburg
March 14, The Capitol Theatre, Lebanon
The final round of the competition will take place on Saturday, March 24, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at AJ’s Good Time Bar in Nashville.
“The WSM Road Show takes us back to a day when radio stations would visit outer lying areas and seek up and coming talent,” said Chris Kulick, WSM general manager.
