Sony Music Nashville Nixes “Sony Boat” Event During CRS

There will be no “Sony Boat” showcase at the 2016 Country Radio Seminar, MusicRow has confirmed.

For years, one of the most anticipated events during CRS has been the label group’s annual party aboard the General Jackson, where the label showcases performances from several of its superstar artists, including appearances by surprise guests. Artists on board last year include Brad Paisley, Tyler Farr, Jake Owen, Chase Rice, and Trisha Yearwood, as well as Logan Mize, Steven Lee Olsen, Cam, The Swon Brothers and Josh Dorr.

While Sony Music Nashville recently signed indie artist Kane Brown, other artists have exited the label. MusicRow has learned that The Swon Brothers, Sara Evans, The Henningsens, and Josh Dorr are no longer on the Sony Music Nashville roster.
