This year's New Faces of Country Music show at CRS '26 will feature six artists, up from the usual five. They are: Curb's Kelsey Hart, Sawgod/Columbia NY/Triple Tigers' Ella Langley, Warner/WAR's Chase Matthew, Night Train/Broken Bow's John Morgan, Riser House's Meghan Patrick and Core/Mercury's Josh Ross. Thirteen artists qualified for consideration this year, but with CRS being later than usual (March 18-20 at the Omni Nashville Hotel), some were already scheduled to perform at the CMC Rocks QLD festival in Australia or on other tours. New Faces is set for the seminar's closing night, register here.
