Universal Music Group Nashville hosted the 11th Annual “Team UMG at the Ryman” luncheon yesterday (Feb. 20) during Country Radio Seminar.

Caylee Hammack offered “Small Town Hypocrite,” while Mickey Guyton previewed “What Are You Gonna Tell Her.” Both were very well received.

Luke Bryan played the title-track off his upcoming album Born Here, Live Here, Die Here. Keith Urban previewed new music with a song “God Whispered Your Name,” while Sam Hunt did as well with an acoustic song called “2016.”

Carrie Underwood made her Team UMG debut at CRS with “Spinning Bottles,” and later returned to the stage to sing “The Fighter” with Urban.

Surprise guest Reba McEntire, who announced her return to the UMG Nashville family, also performed. The newest UMG signee played “How Blue” and “And Still,” before closing with “Fancy.”

The following UMG Nashville artists also offered performances: Hot Country Knights, Brandon Lay, Travis Denning, Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum, Kip Moore, Adam Hambrick, Kylie Morgan, and Brothers Osborne.
