TENNESSEE TITANS play-by-play man MIKE KEITH will return to call the action, and will be joined by a color commentator, UMG NASHVILLE Chairman MIKE DUNGAN.
The tournament takes place on MONDAY, MARCH 13th immediately following "AMAZON MUSIC Presents: Country Heat" at the OMNI NASHVILLE HOTEL's LEGENDS D-G on level 2. Doors open at 8:30p (CT), with the tournament play starting at 9p (CT).
TRIPLE 8 MANAGEMENT's GEORGE COURI and AUDACY's ROBERTS said in a joint statement, "The vision here is to have everyone working in this community come together to laugh with and at one another, trash talk, drink a little together, cheer, boo, and enjoy one another without any panels or performances. And to give MIKE DUNGAN a microphone to unleash on everyone."
CRS takes place MONDAY MARCH 13th through WEDNESDAY MARCH 15th. Click here for more information and registration.
