Wynonna Judd sang "Kentucky Queen," the lead single from her new LP.

The co-headlining "Raised on Radio" tour brought classic songs and new tunes from both artists. Maggie Rose opened the show. She says it is crazy to be on tour with two such iconic artists:

"Melissa actually approached me at lunch and asked if she could sing on "Poison In My Well," which blew my mind cause I was going to like slowly work up to mustering the courage to ask her to do it so having that moment with her on stage is incredible and Wynonna has hosted us on our days off with barbecues and their just the most welcoming, incredible, people but then their also artists that influenced me."

Rose got to come back out on stage and sing Chris Stapleton's part with Etheridge on the song "The Other Side of Blue." She says singing with Etheridge is a dream come true:

"I love the tune, and I'm touring with Chris later this summer so I'm hoping that I'll get to sing it with Chris as well (laughs). I'll show him my video with Melissa."

Maggie Rose has a new album due out in August.

Rose says the entire tour has been so much fun and the scene and staff at the Ledge were incredible. Etheridge and Judd performed for about 75 minutes each and had fans standing and singing the night away.  Check out some pictures from the show below.
