Wynonna enlists Brandi Carlile, Kelsea Ballerini to recreate Judds farewell concert

Wynonna Judd wants to relive country music history.

The co-founding member of Country Music Hall of Fame duo The Judds returns next week to the Murphy Center in Murfreesboro to recreate the group's original farewell concert from inside the same room she and her mother Naomi Judd played three decades ago.

Set for Nov. 3, she'll bring along a handful of friends and collaborators to sing with her. Brandi Carlile, Kelsea Ballerini, Little Big Town, Ashley McBryde and Martina McBride plan to join Judd on stage for the one-night show, according to a news release. Additional special guests should be announced in the coming days.

The Murphy Center can be found on Middle Tennessee State University campus, roughly 35 miles southeast of Nashville. Tickets may be purchased online via ticketmaster.com; a portion of proceeds benefit local mental health advocacy group NAMI Tennessee.

Those unable to catch the show in-person can tune in next March to CMT to watch "The Judds: Love Is Alive - The Final Concert," a cable broadcast of the performance. CMT co-produces the show in partnership with media and concert company Sandbox Productions.

The special comes days after Judd headlines Bridgestone Arena on a tour celebrating her group's music with a rotating cast of A-list Nashville singers stepping in for late singer Naomi Judd. The band matriarch, Naomi Judd died by suicide on April 30 at age 70.

Earlier this week, tour promoters confirmed a new batch of dates keeping Judd on the road for "The Judds: The Final Tour" through February 2023.

“Stepping onstage at the Murphy Center for the first time since Dec. 4th, 1991, will be so surreal for me. It was an emotional night over 30 years ago and will be an emotional night, for different reasons, now,” Wynonna Judd said in a news release. "I can't wait to lean into the nostalgia with the artists who have made this tour so special, and recreate one of the most iconic nights in Judd '[h]erstory.'"

The show doubles as a kick-off to a 50-year anniversary celebration for the Murphy Center; it plans to be the largest concert held inside the room since Wynonna and Naomi Judd hosted a pay-per-view farewell show nearly 31 years ago.
