In 2013, CMT launched it's first Next Women of Country as a way to give more attention and, hopefully, get more airplay to emerging female country artists. Cam, Kacey Musgraves, Cassadee Pope, Ashley Monroe, Kelsea Ballerini, and Jana Kramer, just to name a few, are all alumni of this group.

Once again this year, CMT announced a new class, the 2106 Next Women of Country which includes Ashley Campbell, Courtney Cole, Sara Haze, Maren Morris, Carly Pearce, Rainey Qualley, Aubrie Sellers and Tara Thompson. Some are on major labels, others are on indie ones, while others are, as of yet, unsigned.

You have a chance to see and hear some of the members of this year's class on April 22 at The Palace Theatre in Albany. Jennifer Nettles will headline this last stop of the tour with Brandy Clark and special guests Tara Thompson and Lindsay Ell.
