For the first time in TV history a dramatic series will broadcast numerous live musical performances throughout the pre-taped episode. The performances, which will be broadcast directly from the Bluebird Café set, will feature Will Lexington (Chris Carmack) singing "If It's Love" written by The Striking Matches, Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten) singing "I Know How To Love You Now," co-written by Esten and Deana Carter and the show is adding two real-life country stars, Florida Georgia Line, into the mix for the third performance.
