 “CMT Presents Jennifer Nettles with 2016 Next Women of Country Tour,†and the sought-after ticket will include Brandy Clark and special guests Lindsay Ell and Tara Thompson. The tour is an extension of CMT’s Next Women of Country campaign, an effort that
seeks to give more attention and airplay to female country artists. Tickets go on sale to general public Friday, January 29 at 10 AM.
Nettles has racked up over 22 million in worldwide record sales since exploding onto the music scene in 2004, amassing eight #1 hits and countless accolades and awards. She recently embarked as headliner on the “Playing with Fire Tour†with Brandy Clark and Ryan Kinder. She’s also a vocal supporter of females in the industry.
CMT first launched its “Next Women†campaign in 2013 in an effort to emphasize undiscovered female artists in the male- dominated format. The campaign showcases emerging female artists across screens throughout the year, and several alumnae – Kacey Musgraves, Brandy Clark, Cassadee Pope and Ashley Monroe included – have achieved both commercial and critical acclaim. In 2015, CMT expanded the franchise to include its first-ever female-powered tour featuring Jana Kramer and Kelsea Ballerini.
Tickets can be purchased at Ford Center Ticket Office, Ticketmaster.com or by phone 800.745.3000
