Shelton is joined by Vaughan Thomas, lead guitar and Scott Cash, keyboards. Popular Nashville session musicians, Thomas and Cash are regular performers on Nashville television including “Music City Tonight” and “Nashville Now.” Together they toured with the Statler Brothers (CMA Hall Fame artists) from 1992 to 2002, plus Thomas has toured with David Allan Co while Cash toured with Patty Loveless.
