Music fans worldwide know WSM-AM as the greatest broadcaster in the history of country music, and Back To The Barn embraces and builds on that foundation. WSM is country music to a global audience, not just as the keeper of the traditional flame, but as a trusted tastemaker that looks to the future of country music in all its forms and sub-genres: bluegrass, folk, alternative, western, rockabilly and crossovers into rock, jazz and world music. There has never been a time of greater variety, abundance and quality in Nashville's creative community, and Back To The Barn puts that talent on a worldwide stage.

Each broadcast will feature 6-8 artists in 15-30 minute segments, hosted by WSM on-air personalities Bill Cody, Keith Bilbrey, Mike Terry, and Eddie Stubbs.
