12 musicians have made the cut and will be competing on the first season of CBS’s The Road. The new music competition series will join the network’s primetime lineup this fall, occupying the Sundays at 9pm ET/PT timeslot.

Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Lee Metzger, David Glasser, and Taylor Sheridan serve as executive producers. Gretchen Wilson is the “tour manager.”

“The docu-follow format trails a group of emerging musicians as they open for Urban at music venues across America, competing to win over local fanbases to secure a spot in the next city and remain on the tour. In the end, only one will walk away with the ultimate prize,” reads CBS’s synopsis. “The Road offers viewers a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring musician. With exclusive access to behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.”
