CRS In Action: Team UMG At The Ryman

CRS In Action

UMG NASHVILLE hosted its 8th annual “TEAM UMG AT THE RYMAN” luncheon and performance TODAY (2/23) at RYMAN AUDITORIUM in NASHVILLE as part of COUNTRY RADIO SEMINAR (CRS) 2017. The lineup featured LAUREN ALAINA, LADY ANTEBELLUM, DIERKS BENTLEY, LUKE BRYAN, EASTON CORBIN, BILLY CURRINGTON, VINCE GILL, SAM HUNT, KIP MOORE, JON PARDI, DARIUS RUCKER, CHRIS STAPLETON, JOSH TURNER, and KEITH URBAN. Highlights of the event included LAUREN ALAINA’s performance of “Three,” KEITH URBAN’s performance of “Blue Ain’t Your Color” -- which included a jam session with VINCE GILL and CHRIS STAPLETON, and some amazing – seriously – jokes from the event’s host, UMG NASHVILLE SVP/Promotion ROYCE RISSER.

“This event is consistently one of the best CRS has to offer,” said FOREVER MEDIA Country WGTY/YORK, PA PD SCOTT DONATO.”I love the fact that they continue to keep it simple and let the artists put their own stamp on each performance. There were so many incredible moments, including the amazing KEITH URBAN guitar-off at the end. But LAUREN ALAINA’s sweet words and jaw-dropping performance was the highlight for me.”

ALPHA MEDIA Country KUPL/PORTLAND MD DANNY DWYER tells ALL ACCESS, “VINCE GILL – how can you not love that voice and his talent?! The man has a way turning a birthday song [for his wife] into a GRAMMY award-winning song in itself.” He added, “LAUREN ALAINA stole our hearts with her song ‘Three.’ It’s been fun to watch her grow to the artist she is today, and that performance was magical and brought us to tears.”
