YOUR FAVORITE CMT SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

How Couches, Garages and Basements Have Become the Best Virus-Proof Venues

This Is What It Looks Like to Be #AloneTogether

If this coronavirus pandemic has taught us anything -- other than proper hand-washing techniques and how to flatten the COVID-19 curve -- it's that live country music is good for all of our souls. Actually, it's more than just good. It's essential.

And it doesn't even matter where it's coming from. Stadiums, arenas, theaters, clubs and bars aren't an option for live music right now, but that's not stopping the country artists from playing for their fans any way they can. They're keeping their social distance by performing wherever they are quarantined, and bringing the music to you wherever you are quarantined.

So it might be a barefooted Jake Owen broadcasting live from his Tiki Tonk, Luke Combs in his garage, Hailey Whitters (virtually) sharing songs and tequila, Keith Urban in his gear warehouse, Tim McGraw at his grand piano, Brad Paisley at home, Matt Stell from his living room, or Michael Ray from his couch. They're all living proof that the music is what matters and what is still keeping us all connected.

And that's the kind of connection that keeps us #AloneTogether.
