Kacey MusgravesandReese Witherspoonare looking for the next big thing in country music!
In the opening of the trailer, Witherspoon, 46, and Musgraves, 34, explain how the show came to be.
“When we got together, a long time ago, we were talking about how country music should stop limiting people and start opening doors,” theLegally Blondeactress says.
The “Breadwinner” singer adds, “It’s music brought over from all over the world. The bluegrass, the folk, the gospel. There’s so many threads woven through country music.”
My Kind of Countryis a “music competition that travels the globe to break the next country music star,” the award-winning actress says.
Jimmie Allen,Mickey Guytonand Orville Peck will serve as scouts on the show and each will hand-pick a roster of up-and-coming artists to showcase their skills in Nashville.
“It took me 11 years to get a record deal. I lived in my car,” says Allen, 37.
Guyton, 39, adds, “I was the first black female solo artist to earn a Grammy nomination in a country category.”
Meanwhile, Peck, adds, “My mask allows me to be more vulnerable and share my perspective as a gay country artist.”
They each chose four artists for their roster — and the trailer shows snippets of the contestants making their mark in the show.
The show will premiere on March 24.
