UMG Lunch and Performance
Ryman Auditorium

For the second year in a row, Universal Music Group Nashville is offering an expanded lineup of talent for its CRS 2011 luncheon at the Ryman Auditorium.

The 2011 UMG Nashville luncheon lineup includes: Gary Allan, Laura Bell Bundy, Hayes Carll, Coldwater Jane, Easton Corbin, Billy Currington, Dani Flowers, Vince Gill, Mallary Hope, Jamey Johnson, Josh Kelley, Randy Montana, Kip Moore, David Nail, Randy Rogers Band, Ashton Shepherd, Canaan Smith, Sugarland, Josh Turner and Lee Ann Womack. A number of special guests are also scheduled to appear.

The UMG Nashville luncheon kicks off at 12:30 p.m. A "to-go" barbecue lunch will be served on the second floor lobby inside the Convention Center, with beverages available across the street at the Ryman. All UMG Nashville performances during the luncheon will be held inside the Ryman auditorium. Only credentialed CRS attendees are permitted to attend this event. "When we planned the UMG CRS show last year, we had no idea how well it would be received," says UMG Sr. VP Promotion and host of last year's event, Royce Risser. "Each artist performed one acoustic song on the historic stage of the Ryman, creating a number of magical moments that people still talk about a year later."

"The feedback from both attendees and our artists was overwhelming and seems to indicate that this is the start of a new marquee event at CRS," continues Risser. "Unfortunately, Luke Lewis chose the same host as last year. Sorry about that."
