Beasley Media and Key Networks have announced that Country radio personality Kelly Ford debuts as host of “Backstage Country.” This week, Nashville-based Ford will host the program alongside Country superstars Lady A, the first weekly guest hosts to share the mic with Ford. Throughout the week, Lady A will share with Ford and the show’s listeners the real stories behind their music and personal insights recalling their first days together.

During the month of March, Ford welcomes a lineup of artists in Country music to join her as guest hosts of Backstage Country. Those guest hosts include: Carly Pearce (March 4), Thomas Rhett (March 11), Hardy (March 18) and Chris Young (March 25).

Now heard on over 80 U.S. radio stations and in 27 of the top 50 DMA markets, Backstage Country is hosted each week by today’s hottest Country artists, sharing backstage insights and giving listeners a VIP all-access pass to today’s most exciting Country music and entertainment.

Country radio listeners know Ford from her time co-hosting the Nashville-based syndicated Country morning show, Ty, Kelly & Chuck, for Westwood One. In addition, Ford stands as the only solo female morning show host in the history of Country music radio in New York City, as host of Kelly Ford in the Morning on WNSH-FM (Country 94.7), a station she helped launch in 2013. She also hosted a nationally syndicated weekend 90’s Country Show for Audacy.
