Country Star Lands Outdoor Channel Summer Series

Outdoor Channel will premiere a travel and outdoor adventure show this summer featuring award-winning country music artist Nick Hoffman called Nick’s Wild Ride.  The half-hour, 13-episode series will debut July 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Hoffman is a former member of Kenny Chesney’s band and currently is a member of the country music trio The Farm. He has also performed with music superstars Sara Evans, Keith Urban, Brooks & Dunn, John Mellencamp, Trace Adkins, Steve Miller, James Otto, and more.

Produced by Watermarc Productions and Ugly Duckling Entertainment, Nick's Wild Ride follows the Nowthen, Minn., native and Nashville transplant as he explores the music, food, culture, history and heartbeat of each stop he makes along his journey.

The first episode takes Hoffman to Louisiana, where he learns from locals how to make hot sauce. He then travels the Mississippi River and hits the swamps to hunt turkey and catch crawfish. In other episodes Hoffman hunts waterfowl in Nebraska, checks out the best microbreweries in Denver, travels to the Argentine Republic capital of Buenos Aires and hunts javelina in Mexico.

The series is part of Outdoor Channel’s Friday night “country” programming roster, which includes the return of new episodes of Craig Morgan All Access Outdoors, Nick’s Wild Ride, and a slate of classic and modern western cinema blockbusters.
