Country Radio Broadcasters has revealed the lineup for the New Faces of Country Music Show at this year’s Country Radio Seminar (CRS) in Nashville.
Kelsey Hart, Ella Langley, Chase Matthew, John Morgan, Meghan Patrick and Josh Ross will each take the stage to perform for top country radio programmers during CRS, which is set for March 18-20 at the Omni Hotel Nashville.
The New Faces of Country Music Show has been one of CRS’s premier events, one that highlights rising artists who are making an impact in the genre and have gained momentum at country radio during the qualification period. Since launching in 1970, the event has showcased new country music talent, with previous New Faces performers including Tim McGraw, George Strait, Taylor Swift, Faith Hill, Keith Urban, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert and Jelly Roll.
Langley has earned hits including the six-week Billboard Hot Country Songs chart-topper “Choosin’ Texas,” which is also currently at No. 5 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart. Langley also took home honors including song and single of the year at the 2025 CMA Awards.
Hart is known for songs including his 2025 radio single “Fireworks” and his Billboard Country Airplay top 30 hit “Life With You.” Matthew reached No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart in November with his hit “Darlin’,” and also released his third album, Chase, in 2025.
Morgan released his debut album, Carolina Blue, in April, and earned a No. 2 hit on the Country Airplay chart with his Jason Aldean collab “Friends Like That.” He is also known for his work writing songs recorded by Aldean, among them the Carrie Underwood collab “If I Didn’t Love You,” as well as “Trouble With a Heartbreak.”
Patrick’s single “Golden Child” has been a mainstay at country radio over the past year, and Patrick will launch her headlining Golden Child tour in February. She will also release her new project, Golden Child (The Final Chapter), on Friday (Jan. 9). Meanwhile, Ross hit No. 1 on Billboard Canada Country Airplay chart with his song “Hate How You Look” in December and will headline his 17-show Bud Light Presents Later Tonight tour across Canada beginning Feb. 6.
