Here’s how you can listen starting at 7p each night this week:

Old Dominion broke onto the country music scene in 2014. The group includes singer-guitarist-songwriter Matthew Ramsey, guitarist-songwriter Brad Tursi, bassist Geoff Sprung, keyboard-guitarist Trevor Rosen, and drummer Whit Sellers.

The band was named Old Dominion in 2007. "Old Dominion" was chosen because it is a nickname for the state of Virginia, and four members of the group have links to Virginia.

Old Dominion has been recognized as the Group of the Year at the both the 2018 and 2019 ACM Awards and the reigning CMA Vocal Group of the Year. They have notched seven No. 1s at country radio, surpassed one billion on-demand streams, singles “No Such Thing As A Broken Heart” and “Written in the Sand” earning Platinum certifications and “Hotel Key” earning a Gold, from their Gold certified sophomore album Happy Endings.

They have also headlined arenas and amphitheaters tours.
