Amazon Music delivers four new Originals and a Grand Ole Opry livestream
This week, Amazon Music kicks off Country Music Month with a month-long slate of content celebrating the best in country music.
To kick the celebration off, Amazon Music will release four new Amazon Music Originals, including Kane Brown’s reimagined marching band version of his album track, “2 Pair (Game Day Version),” available now. Additional Country Music Month Amazon Music Originals include Noeline Hofmann’s cover of Guy Clark’s “Dublin Blues,” which will be released on October 3rd; Tucker Wetmore’s cover of The Georgia Satellites’ “Keep Your Hands To Yourself,” releasing October 10th; and Carter Faith’s cover of Addison Rae’s “Fame Is A Gun,” out October 21st.
“I love that my fans have made ‘2 Pair’ the song of the summer—so how about a version for the football season with a drumline and marching band?” said Kane Brown. “Hope this gets you pumped up. Go Dawgs!”
Amazon Music is making history as the first streaming service to curate a Grand Ole Opry takeover, featuring performances by Lauren Alaina, Dan + Shay, Russell Dickerson, Carter Faith, Noeline Hofmann, and Lainey Wilson on October 21st. This themed Opry show will be hosted by Amber Anderson and Kelly Sutton of the Country Heat Weekly podcast. Streaming on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, Prime Video, and the Amazon Music app, the celebration of Country Music Month and the Opry’s 100th anniversary will transform the iconic Opry barn from its iconic red to “Country Heat” orange during the special show. Carter Faith will also debut her Amazon Music Original cover of “Fame Is A Gun” during the broadcast.
Country has long been a top-performing genre on Amazon Music. The “Country Heat” brand recently achieved a major milestone: surpassing 30 billion streams in the US alone since its 2016 launch. The flagship country destination, which includes both the “Country Heat” playlist and station, has become a key source for country music discovery. This includes the Country Heat Weekly Podcast, hosted by Amber Anderson and Kelly Sutton, which entertains listeners with today’s top tracks, shares the latest country music news, features candid conversations with beloved artists, celebrates milestones in country music history, and spotlights rising stars.
With exclusive content, curated programming, and high-profile live events, Amazon Music continues to solidify its role as a major destination for country music discovery and artist support. This year’s Country Music Month campaign highlights the commitment from Amazon Music to telling the stories behind the music and creating deeper connections between artists and fans.
