2023 CMT Music Awards to Feature New Performers and Collaborations

The 2023 CMT Music Awards will showcase an exciting lineup of performers at Moody Center in Austin, Texas. The event, which will air on CBS Television Network on April 2, will feature new and established stars from the country music scene. The must-see list of performers includes The Black Crowes + Darius Rucker, Jelly Roll, Tyler Hubbard, and Wynonna Judd + Ashley McBryde.

Collaboration of The Black Crowes + Darius Rucker

Darius Rucker, a nominee for CMT Performance of the Year, will team up with long-time friends The Black Crowes in a world premiere collaboration of the band’s hit “She Talks to Angels.”

Jelly Roll

Three-time nominee Jelly Roll, a genre-bending singer-songwriter, continues to add to his breakout year with a first-ever award show performance of his hit single “Need a Favor.” He is also a contender for major awards, nominated for Male Video of the Year, Breakthrough Male Video of the Year, and CMT Digital-First Performance of the Year.

Tyler Hubbard
Tyler Hubbard will make his first solo awards performance with his hit song “Dancin’ in the Country” from his self-titled debut solo album. The performance marks a decade since his electrifying debut on the CMT Music Awards stage with Nelly as part of Florida Georgia Line.

Wynonna Judd + Ashley McBryde
Two-time nominee Wynonna returns to the CMT stage, following last year’s unforgettable final performance of “Love Can Build a Bridge” with her late mother, Naomi Judd. The two earned first-time nods for CMT Performance of the Year. This year, Wynonna teams up with recent tourmate and Video of the Year nominee Ashley McBryde for a debut television performance. The two will also be featured together as part of “The Judds: Love Is Alive – The Final Concert” special event, airing later this spring.

The 2023 CMT MUSIC AWARDS on CBS will also feature performances from Avery Anna, Chapel Hart, Jackson Dean, Lily Rose, Megan Moroney and Nate Smith from the Ram Trucks Side Stage.
