Old Dominion took fans on a trip down “Memory Lane” and celebrated their award-winning 10+ year career with a special, career-spanning medley at the 2025 CMA Awards on Wednesday (Nov. 19). Their performance highlighted some of their biggest hits, giving fans a look back at the songs that helped define their rise as one of country music’s most successful groups.
The seven-time reigning CMA Vocal Group of the Year, and nominees in the category once again this year, took to the stage to perform a five-song medley that featured their fan-favorite hits, including “Break Up With Him,” “Memory Lane,” “One Man Band,” “Hotel Key,” and “Snapback.”
The group, composed of Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Whit Sellers, Geoff Sprung and Brad Tursi, also marked the 10th anniversary of their debut album, Meat And Candy, with their performance.
Old Dominion opened up about their CMA Awards performance prior to the show. “We are performing a medley of a handful of our hits, so just to kind of celebrate our entire career really,” the group shared in a statement to the Country Music Association (CMA). “So it’s going to be fun. It kind of covers our whole catalog as much as we can in like five songs.”
The group continued, “It’s obviously a little different because we don’t typically do medleys or anything like that. So luckily there’s a great team here at the CMA awards that helps us kind of wrap our heads around how to do that. So we’ve been working with them and trying to come up with the most energetic, fun combination of songs that we could come up with.”
Old Dominion were nominated for one award this year in the Vocal Group Of The Year category alongside Lady A, Little Big Town, Rascal Flatts and The Red Clay Strays.
