Jelly Roll, Eric Church to Close Out 2025’s Country Radio Seminar With Unfiltered Conversation

Two of country music’s most unfiltered, visionary artists —Jelly Roll and Eric Church — will close out 2025’s annual Country Radio Seminar in Nashville by teaming up for an unscripted, intimate conversation.

The event will take place on Friday, Feb. 21, as the two CMA Award-winning artists close out this year’s radio-focused seminar, which runs Feb. 19-21 at the Omni Hotel in Nashville. The annual seminar features a mix of radio and music industry-focused panels, networking events, concert, label luncheons and the annual New Faces of Country Music Showcase. (Jelly Roll was a featured performer in the New Faces of Country Music showcase in 2023, while Church was part of the showcase in 2007.)

Last year’s Country Radio Seminar featured conversations from artists including Lainey Wilson, Trisha Yearwood and Megan Moroney.

“We are thrilled to have Eric Church and Jelly Roll close out CRS 2025,” RJ Curtis, Executive Director of CRS, said in a statement. “Their ability to connect with fans and push the boundaries of the genre makes this session a perfect culmination of this year’s seminar.”

Jelly Roll recently earned his first all-genre Billboard 200 chart-topping album with Beautifully Broken, and was nominated for entertainer of the year at the 2024 CMA Awards. Last year also saw the Antioch, Tenn., native launch his Beautifully Broken headlining arena tour and play his first international tour dates. He appeared at the Kids’ Choice Awards and on WWE, and teamed with MGK for the collaboration “Lonely Road,” as well as with Post Malone for the song “Losers” as part of Posty’s F-1 Trillion album.

Earlier this year, following the devastation of Hurricane Helene, which impacted Church’s home state of North Carolina, he released the song “Darkest Hour (Helene Edit)” and teamed with Luke Combs, Billy Strings and more to hold Concert for Carolina, a benefit concert that raised more than $24 million for hurricane relief efforts.
