2023 CMT MUSIC AWARDS

· CBS and CMT announce multi-platinum entertainer Kane Brown will return as co-host of the 2023 CMT MUSIC AWARDS alongside Kelsea Ballerini for Austin's first major televised awards show airing LIVE from Moody Center on Sunday, April 2 (8:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). Paramount Global's signature country music tentpole - and country's only entirely fan-voted award show - will also be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*.

· Brown will also pull double duty as performer, teaming up with wife Katelyn Brown for the television world premiere performance of their multi-week #1 hit single, "Thank God." Kane and Katelyn made history with "Thank God," becoming only the second married couple in country music to earn a #1 together with a duet.

· "Kane Brown is a genre-defying force and an electric live performer who continues to break barriers and smash records. He and Kelsea are both seasoned pros and an unstoppable duo with mega charisma, star power and global appeal to match. We couldn't pick a more dynamic pair to helm our show's first ever move to Austin in what is sure to be one of our most memorable yet - and can't wait for him and Katelyn to share the stage for what will be an unforgettable, world premiere performance," shared CMT MUSIC AWARDS producers.

FIRE COUNTRY

· Brown will make his acting debut on the hit drama FIRE COUNTRY, Friday, April 7 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

· He will play Robin, an enigmatic, modern-day train hopper who helps injured patients at the scene of a crash. Robin is more of a Robin Hood - an outlaw on the run who has a heart of gold.

· "As soon as Kane stepped onto set it felt like he had been a part of the FIRE COUNTRY family from the beginning," said series star and creator Max Thieriot. "I was really blown away by how natural and honest he is in each scene. To top it off he's just a wonderful person - kind, excited to learn and fun to be around... dude is the real deal!"
