Episode Details

Typically, Wednesday nights are not very exciting. However, in Nashville, the middle of the week looks and sounds a lot different from most cities. For example, last hump day, five of the biggest names and country music casually treated fans to intimate shows across Music City. First up was Kacey Musgraves, who hosted an album release party for "Middle of Nowhere" at the Nashville Palace. The Grammy winner entertained her guests with first ever performances of "Hell On Me" and "Rhinestone." Next, Keith Urban played The Mill at Cannery Hall, where he gave fans a taste of his upcoming yacht rock album called "Flow State." About a mile down the road, Blake Shelton put on a pulse-pounding show at Ole Red’s, delivering stadium energy performances of "God’s Country," "Texas" and "Austin." Finally, Thomas Rhett and Jordan Davis lit up the stage at Old Dominion’s bar, Odie’s in Midtown. Fans who were lucky enough to get into the free show were treated to acoustic versions of "Die a Happy Man," "T-Shirt," "Look What God Gave Her" and "Ain’t a Bad Life." Heck, who knew midweek could sound so good?
