Country acts can apply to be on the show via the 'Real Country' website here or via email here.
"It's been an incredible year for me, releasing my new album and coming back to Country music," noted Twain. "I feel it's time for me to add my own support in finding our greatest undiscovered talent. It's beyond thrilling to be leading the charge with 'Real Country,' and I'm on a mission to find artists who will keep Country music diverse and dynamic. The kind of diversity that inspired all of us." Added Owen, "Country music truly seems to be the healing factor in a lot of people's lives. I will always be grateful for music, whether I'm performing or listening, and I want to encourage up-and-coming artists to tell their stories, find their audiences, and make their mark in Country music with the same guidance that artists have given to me throughout my journey."
