What Does the Winner of The Road Get?
The Road will air weekly with at least one singer expected to be sent home each episode. Taping took place earlier this year across seven dates in Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
On April 2, the final three competed at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville but the results were kept private. Whoever came out of that night victorious will get quite a prize.
The winner of The Road is going to get a $250,000 cash prize, a recording contract, a Red Bull prize package and a performance slot at Stagecoach Country Music Festival next April in California.
He or she will also get a huge boost in popularity. We’re going to track Spotify monthly listeners for each of the 12 singers from the start of the show to the end. Currently, Adam Sanders has the most with 121,000 and Briana Adams has the least, with 173.
