Gloriana Featured by ACM Awards and CBS.com


Newcomers Gloriana have been chosen by the Academy of Country Music (ACM) to document their first trip to the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas for an exclusive web series at CBS.com. The group will give fans a special behind-the-scenes look at the days leading up to their first ACM experience. “Gloriana: Road to the ACM Awards” at CBS.com, will feature several three minute webisodes leading up to the “44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.” The Awards, produced by dick clark productions, will be broadcast LIVE from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 5th at 8:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network. You can check out Gloriana’s webisodes now at http://www.cbs.com/specials/acma/.

“It’s an honor to join the list of artists the ACM has asked to do this web series,” said Mike Gossin. “Over the last two years Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum were a part of this and they did such a great job. We couldn’t have dreamed up a cooler way to celebrate our first time at the ACM Awards than this and we’re thrilled to be a part of it all.”

“Gloriana: Road to the ACM Awards” each week will give fans a special look at the band’s journey leading up to the “44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.” Footage that fans will get to see include the group performing on their radio tour, their first time at the Grand Ole Opry, picking out their first tour bus for when they hit the road with Taylor Swift this Summer, and much more.

“Gloriana’s web series is a great addition to the content we have on CBS.com around this year’s ACM Awards to build excitement and interest in the broadcast on April 5th,” said Bill Binenstock, Vice President of CBS.com. “We are always looking to create content that complements the TV experience, and this web series is a perfect example.”

Gloriana is set to perform at the ACM Fremont Street concert Saturday, April 4th at 6:45pm on the 1st Street Stage. The group’s half hour set will include a performance of their single “Wild At Heart” that is currently in the Top 35 on the Country music charts. Other artists set to perform that night include the Zac Brown Band, Kellie Pickler, and LeAnn Rimes. This is a free concert open to the public.
