NASHVILLE – NOVEMBER 5, 2021 – PickleJar announces today that award-winning radio personality Kelly Ford will be co-hosting their podcast and content capture at this year’s 2021 Music Row Live! during CMA Awards week in Nashville on November 8 – 9.  Sitting alongside PickleJar’s President Kristian Barowsky, the duo will be on-hand to chat with all artists who hit Radio Row.

“I am so excited to be at this year’s CMA Awards week Radio Remotes with PickleJar,” said Kelly Ford. “When [PickleJar CSO] Alex Valentine asked me to co-host PickleJar’s Country Radio Hall of Fame podcast last month, I was hooked. And when given the opportunity to represent PickleJar at Radio Row, I jumped at the chance.”

Ford is a Country radio mainstay and most recently served as morning personality for Kelly Ford in the Morning on New York's Country 94-7/WNSH in addition to hosting a nationally syndicated weekend 90's Country Show for Audacy.  The 2021 Gracie Award Major Market Morning Drive Host Winner had previous stops in Louisville, KY, and Denver, CO before helping Cumulus launch WNSH/New York in 2013.  Her rise in NYC led to a co-host spot on Westwood One’s nationally syndicated Ty, Kelly & Chuck morning show, based in Nashville, alongside Ty Bentil and Chuck Wicks.   Over the course of her broadcasting career, Kelly has won three CMAs, an ACM, two Gracie Awards, and a Marconi Award.
