The eight remaining singers on The Road have a powerful backstory that will unfold during their time on the new CBS reality show. However, one singer’s time ended on Sunday night (Nov. 9).
Keith Urban, Blake Shelton and Gretchen Wilson are the stars of the show, but they’re all there to choose one grand prize winner—and it’s quite the grand prize.
Here’s everything you need to know about the singers on The Road, including who went home after Ep. 4.
This list will be updated weekly to reflect who was eliminated.
- The next episode of The Road airs on CBS Nov. 16 at 9PM CT.
- Urban and Shelton are judges while Wilson is the tour manager.
- Taylor Sheridan and Shelton are executive producers of the show. The Yellowstone creator made a guest appearance during Episode 2 and Episode 3.
Who Was Eliminated From The Road?
The Road Episode 4 found the nine remaining singers in Oklahoma for two nights worth of shows and competition. Once again they were split into two groups and once again each was asked to perform a cover song and an original.

Cassidy Daniels, Jenny Tolman, Forrest McCurren and Cody Hibbard were the four who performed during night one, and each was imperfect. The judges wondered why Daniels chose such a low key and suggest Tolman learn how to work a microphone so the audience can better hear her lyrics.
McCurren lost the crowd with a Bob Dylan cover and Hibbard was less than 100 percent as a result of a kidney stone. It truly felt like three of the four could be sent home at the end (Daniels remains a clear judge and crowd favorite).
Tolman and McCurren were the Bottom Two this week, making it three straight weeks in the bottom for the Missouri-raised singer and songwriter. As a result, Urban chose keep Tolman and eliminate Forrest McCurren.
What Does the Winner of The Road Get?
The Road will air weekly with at least one singer expected to be sent home each episode. Taping took place earlier this year across seven dates in Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
On April 2, the final three competed at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville but the results were kept private. But whoever came out of that night victorious will get quite a prize.
The winner of The Road will receive a $250,000 cash prize, a recording contract, a Red Bull prize package and a performance slot at Stagecoach Country Music Festival next April in California.
He or she will also get a huge boost in popularity. We’re going to track Spotify monthly listeners for each of the 12 singers from the start of the show to the end. Currently, Adam Sanders has the most with 121,000 and Briana Adams has the least, with 173.

No spoilers here. Below you’ll only find biographical information about each of the 12 singers on The Road, plus a few popular recordings.
