“This event was a reunion of sorts for so many of these artists. Some still continue to tour while others not so much, however, backstage was nothing short of a love-fest and provided a much-needed reunion for everyone,” says executive producer Bob Romeo.

“This show is going to be one that is talked about for years to come. Watching the audience sing the words to practically every song back to the artists as they were performing proved what an impact 90s Country music had on those that grew up listening to it,” adds executive producer Frank Matassa of LMA Productions, Inc. “The songs, the artists, the memories, and the final television show is going to be something very special for the television audience no matter what age is watching.”

The pre-show entertainment provided by Eric Blankenship included songs by Joe Diffie, Toby Keith, and Gary Stewart. Previously announced artists that were not able to attend included Tanya Tucker (health issues), Danny Shirley of Confederate Railroad (health issues), Doug Stone (health issues), Collin Raye (health issues) while Tracy Lawrence, Aaron Lewis, and Michael Ray all had tour booking conflicts.

Broadcast information will be announced in the coming weeks.
