Regardless of your plans this summer, GAC has a show for you! We’re unveiling new series, documentaries and concert specials — plus, you’ll meet an amazing family with 12 children living out the American dream. There will also be music specials from Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley and a biodoc on Gary Allan!
The Willis Clan is our new series about a hard-working, tight-knit American family, their struggles and their victories. Premiering June 27 at 8/7c, the series follows Toby and Brenda Willis, who are raising 12 children to be successful – and in some cases award-winning – singers, songwriters, dancers and athletes. While some may find their ways unconventional, the family is balanced with equal parts love and discipline.
GAC has teamed with Dollywood in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park this summer to present The Great American Country Show featuring a special appearance by a legendary country music performer, a cast of six singers backed by a six-piece band and video appearances by our hosts Storme Warren, Suzanne Alexander and Nan Kelley.
