Keith Urban Talked About The Importance Of ‘Paying Your Dues’
Urban shared a statement showing how he can relate to these up-and-coming artists. He shared, “I spent a lot of my underage life playing in some seedy pubs, sometimes just for the bartender. So I love the idea of throwing artists into a real-world environment to find out if they are artists.”
As Urban mused, “Paying your dues sucks, but there are things in this business that can’t be taught.” According to the star, he shared these were things “like how to put together a set list, whether to extend or cut a song during your performance or how to work the crowd.”
“For me, touring has always been my first love. It’s where the rubber meets the road. But it’s the only road to take if you want to be a performer.”
Urban will get to showcase his own music during the program, using songs from the album, High. The audience will get to influence whether the emerging artists, who will open Urban, will move to the next city on tour.
CBS notably promoted the series on Instagram. Sharing a clip of Urban, the post contained the caption: “Join @keithurban and @blakeshelton on a quest to discover America’s next big musician. See you on #TheRoad, coming this Fall to CBS and @paramountplus.” Live from Las Vegas, Urban told fans to “stay tuned for more info” so they could attend show for The Road.
CBS announced that The Road had a series order back in November. The series is set to premiere this upcoming fall 2025 on CBS.
