Sony Music Nashville had plenty to celebrate at Hakkasan Las Vegas following Sunday evening’s (April 7) ACM Awards.

Following the release of their Sony-released collaboration project Reboot, Brooks & Dunn left their mark on the ceremony performing “Brand New Man” with New Male Artist of the Year winner and Male Artist of the Year nominee Luke Combs, as well as presenting the Award for Entertainer of the Year.

Single of the Year nominee Kane Brown performed his Top 10 hit “Good As You” and welcomed Khalid for the television debut of their collaboration “Saturday Nights REMIX.” Combs also performed an acoustic arrangement of his six-week No. 1 smash “Beautiful Crazy” with co-writer Rob Williford and award-winning fiddle player Amanda Shires.
