Two powerhouse acts from different genres are uniting for a collaboration that\u2019s as unexpected as it is nostalgic.<\/p>\n
Grammy Award-winning country group Shenandoah<\/strong> has collaborated with Canadian rock band Nickelback<\/strong><\/a> to release a new rendition of Shenandoah\u2019s 1989 hit \u201cThe Church on Cumberland Road.\u201d The reimagined track, out now, blends the storytelling warmth of the group’s country twang with Nickelback\u2019s signature rock edge.<\/p>\n The partnership was born out of a series of shared festival performances earlier this year. \u201cFirst, let me say that it’s always a great opportunity to befriend those in the music industry, regardless of the genre,\u201d said Shenandoah frontman Marty Raybon<\/strong>, per Blabbermouth<\/em><\/a>. \u201cNickelback’s Chad Kroeger<\/strong> and I had the chance to talk about their music and ours and the parallels of some of the tunes that could be swapped out on the setlists. The idea came up, and after a few text messages, we were off and running with what is one of the coolest things we’ve ever done. Shenandoah and Nickelback. Who would have thunk it.\u201d<\/p>\n Per the outlet, Kroeger agreed, calling the experience \u201can absolute blast.\u201d \u201cGetting the chance to collaborate with them on \u2018The Church on Cumberland Road\u2019 was an absolute blast. It\u2019s a song that feels as vibrant today as it did when it first came out.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfb6<\/strong> SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a> \ud83c\udfb6<\/strong><\/p>\n An accompanying animated video, created by Cartuna, pays homage to Shenandoah\u2019s original 1989 visual while featuring Kroeger alongside the band. The country band has had many other chart-topping partnerships with stars like Luke Combs<\/strong>, Jason Aldean<\/strong>, and Luke Bryan <\/strong>\u2014 to name a few.<\/p>\n In fact, earlier this week on November 3 Aldean reunited to perform the group\u2019s \u201880s hit<\/a> \u201cSunday in the South.\u201d The pair, who originally recorded their rendition with the band in 2024, treated fans to a live version that quickly went viral. Bryan shared a clip of the performance on Instagram<\/a>, writing, \u201cThe go to cover that @jasonaldean and I got to redo with @shenandoahband. Loved getting to play \u2018Sunday in the South\u2019 with Jason.\u201d<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Nov 7, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
