CMT’s Next Women of Country featuring Priscilla Block, Ashland Craft, Miko Marks, Lily Rose and Hailey Whitters

The museum presents five of CMT’s Next Women of Country, a special concert and conversation with up-and-coming female country artists. The program, hosted by CMT executive Leslie Fram, includes performances and interviews with Priscilla Block, Ashland Craft, Miko Marks, Lily Rose and Hailey Whitters. Priscilla Block wrote and recorded “Just About Over You,” which went viral on TikTok and landed in the Top Twenty on both Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, leading Block to a recording contract with Mercury Nashville. Her first full-length album, Welcome to the Block Party, was released earlier this year. Ashland Craft, who released her debut album, Travelin’ Kind, in 2021, has collaborated on tracks with Brothers Osborne (“I Smoke Weed”) and HARDY (“So Close”). She has opened for Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde, Morgan Wallen and the Zac Brown Band. After a hiatus from music, Miko Marks released her first record in thirteen years, Our Country, in early 2021 and quickly followed it with her Race Records EP, a compilation of covers of early country, bluegrass and folk-rock songs. Lily Rose’s song “Villain” gained popularity on TikTok and helped her land a record deal in early 2021. She released her seven-track project Stronger Than I Am later that year and is an opening act on Chris Lane’s 2022 Fill Them Boots Tour. Hailey Whitters released her breakthrough album, Living the Dream, in 2021 and Raised in 2022. She co-wrote the Grammy-nominated song “A Beautiful Noise,” which was recorded by Brandi Carlile and Alicia Keys, and her songs have also been recorded by Country Music Hall of Fame member Alan Jackson, Little Big Town and Martina McBride.
