The much-anticipated talent lineup has been released for the 5th annual “Amazon Music Presents: Country Heat at CRS.” The show, to be held Feb. 23, will be headlined by Thomas Rhett, and will also feature performances by Frank Ray, Lily Rose, Conner Smith, and Morgan Wade. The evening will be hosted by Nashville insiders, Kelly Sutton and Amber Anderson of Amazon Music’s original podcast, Country Heat Weekly.

“We’re thrilled to bring Country Heat back to CRS this year,” said Michelle Tigard Kammerer, Head of Country Music for Amazon Music. “We’ve curated a lineup leading with superstar, Thomas Rhett, and featuring four stars on the rise who were also selected as 2022 Artists to Watch by our programming team, and we can’t wait for attendees to watch.”

Thomas Rhett has had 18 multi-PLATINUM and GOLD-certified No. 1 hits, 12 BILLION streams and the longest current active streak of consecutive No. 1s in the format (Mediabase/Country Aircheck Chart).

The “Amazon Music Presents: Country Heat at CRS” showcase will take place from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in Omni Nashville Hotel’s Broadway Ballroom and will close out the first day of Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2022. “Country Heat” is the ultimate Amazon Music playlist for today’s country music fan, updated each week to feature a mixture of country hits and breaking singles from both new and established acts. Last fall, Amazon Music announced that its global music brand Country Heat had surpassed 13 billion streams in the U.S. since its first station launched in October 2016.
