If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting Music City, The Ward Guenther Show on Apple Music Country is as close to the real thing as you can get. A longtime Tennessean, Ward founded Nashville's esteemed Whiskey Jam showcase, in which rising stars show what they’ve got in local dive bars. The Mississippi-born, Memphis-raised Ward has a similar focus on his namesake Apple Music Country show: “We are identifying and shining a light on new music and new artists at quite possibly the most important part of an artist's journey,” he says. “They are finding their voice, their style, and most importantly their audience.”

To hear Ward showcase the freshest faces on Nashville's colorful and constantly evolving music scene, don’t miss The Ward Guenther Show Monday through Thursday on Apple Music Country at 1 pm LA/4 pm NYC/9 pm LDN.
