In addition to CARRIE’S COUNTRY (Ch. 60) and CARR-DIO by CARRIE’S COUNTRY, Carrie Underwood expands her SiriusXM musical universe with a third channel joining our lineup: SAVIOR SUNDAY DAILY by CARRIE’S COUNTRY.

Inspired by the fan-favorite show on Carrie’s hugely popular CARRIE’S COUNTRY, SAVIOR SUNDAY DAILY by CARRIE’S COUNTRY becomes a full-time channel on the SiriusXM app beginning March 21, playing a daily blend of uplifting faith-based country and gospel music handpicked by Carrie.

How to listen

SAVIOR SUNDAY DAILY by CARRIE’S COUNTRY is available to stream anytime on the SiriusXM app.

The Savior Sunday show on CARRIE’S COUNTRY will continue to air every Sunday on channel 60.

What you’ll hear

Enjoy Carrie’s versions of gospel standards from her GRAMMY-award winning album My Savior, which covers of some of her favorite traditional gospel hymns in a unique pastiche of musical styles from classic country to folk, bluegrass, and gospel.  SAVIOR SUNDAY DAILY by CARRIE’S COUNTRY also features timeless spiritual country and new classics from artists like Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, as well as Nashville’s rising stars and many more.

“We had a couple of little churches we went to. I remember my first being very tiny with wooden pews. That was probably one of my earliest music memories, singing these hymns in the congregation, and being on stage and singing in front of people for the first time,” Carrie said while recording My Savior, which won the GRAMMY Award for Best Roots Gospel Album in 2022.  “It was always just familiar. These hymns are like a warm hug, just sweet, familiar songs I’ve been singing and listening to my whole life.”

More artists you’ll hear on SAVIOR SUNDAY DAILY by CARRIE’S COUNTRY include Gabby Barrett, NEEDTOBREATHE, Randy Travis, Thomas Rhett, Reba McEntire, and Zach Williams.

“This music shaped who I am as a person and is the foundation of my career as a recording artist,” Carrie says.  “I feel so blessed to get be able to create a destination to share these songs with generations of people who love them as I do, as well as others who might be experiencing them for the first time.”

CeCe Winans takes the wheel

In celebration of the new channel, GRAMMY Award-winning gospel legend and Carrie collaborator CeCe Winans recorded a special edition of the CARRIE’S COUNTRY Guest DJ series Take The Wheel.

Carrie’s duet with CeCe, the best-selling and most-awarded female gospel artist of all time, on the classic hymn, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” is one of the many highlights of Carrie’s GRAMMY-award winning album My Savior.

Hear CeCe Take The Wheel on the CARRIE’S COUNTRY and SAVIOR SUNDAY DAILY by CARRIE’S COUNTRY channels beginning Easter weekend.

Carrie Underwood (new generation for hymns) :49
“I feel like people my age and older really did grow up singing hymns. We go to church now, and everything is very praise and worship, which is wonderful, but I feel like there are a lot of people who have not experienced a lot of these hymns or they’re not a part of their weekly life, you know. So, I do hope people – I hope people that are like me that grew up with them can listen to them and feel the heart behind them. We wanted to make them sound fresh, but we didn’t want to change anything too much. So, I hope the traditionalists will enjoy it but I also hope that people who haven’t experienced these songs as much can listen and feel, get that sense of home but enjoy what they’re listening to as well.”
