Keith will also be hosting as performances will be taking place at three different Nashville locations because of safety protocols.

“I’m gonna be hosting from the Grand Ole Opry, but [we’re] gonna cross over to the legendary Ryman Auditorium for some performances there, [and] over to the infamous Bluebird Café and doing some performances over there too.”
