An Early Walk Through CRS Seven weeks from now, the Country music business will gather for its most important annual event. Education, debate, network-ing and a lot of music will make CRS 2018 (Feb. 5-7) the latest
critical chapter in an almost 50-year run for the seminar. “Every year is different,” says CRB Executive Director Bill Mayne. “We strive to make the content relevant.” In a short attention span world, one of the most important innovations in recent years has been a more focused presenta-tion. Mayne reports attendee feedback has confirmed compressing from the old four-day event into two and a half was the right move.
“And getting away from the weekends is key,” he adds. “We know folks want their weekends.” The shortened schedule also cuts down the number of hotel room nights from four to three. “Everyone can travel Monday morning and not miss anything,” Mayne explains. “The cost of doing business in Nashville has gone up and we didn’t want to increase prices moving from the Renaissance to the Omni.” So far so good, as attendance is trending up. “Our advance registration numbers are ahead of last year,” Mayne says. A Walking Tour: Opening ceremonies will include a moment of silence paying respect to victims of Route 91 Harvest. The Artist Humanitarian Award will be presented to Dierks Bentley, with the Tom Rivers Award honoring Dan Halyburton. “Dierks is a great guy and he works his ass off,” says Mayne. “What Danny has done with the Red Cross, especially this year with the hurricanes and wild-fires, is exceptional.” This year’s Welcome Reception at the Country Music Hall of Fame will include museum tours and, after seven years, there will be no Opry-sponsored event the first night. The evening’s music will have a new sponsor, soon to be announced. Look for dynamic video, special effects and product giveaways.
The Year In Music: 2017 Sam Hunt’s “Body Like A Backroad” was the most-heard song at Country radio this year. Blake Shelton was the top overall and male artist, Maren Morris was the top female artist, Florida Georgia Line were the top duo/group, Luke Combs was the top new artist and Capitol earned a record ninth consecutive Label of the Year crown. Look for full coverage

UMPG Nashville VP/A&R & Special Projects Ron Stuve discusses his most influential music:1. “Amazing Grace”: God is good!2. Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Greatest Hits: My dad had this on 8 Track. Simple, hooky melodies.3. Steve Miller, “Fly Like An Eagle”: It represents freedom for me. I listened to this song over and over when I first got my driver’s license.
4. Van Halen, “Runnin’ With The Devil” - Eddie and Alex Van Halen’s musicianship and sound was larger than life.5. Trisha Yearwood’s “Thinkin’ About You”: It was my first No. 1 single as a songplugger.• “Important” music you just don’t get: Pink Floyd.• An album you listened to incessantly: Sam Hunt’s Mon-tevallo. Every song could be a radio hit.• An obscure or non-country song everyone should listen to right now (and why): “The Very Thought Of You” by Nat King Cole. It’s a great love song.• Music you’d rather not admit to enjoying: Kiss. It takes me back to my youth.

The seminar’s emphasis on health and wellness offers a new voice to attendees. “Onsite CEO/Owner Miles Adcox will talk about how to take your life back,” Mayne says. For example: “The cell phone is everywhere. He taught me not to look at it first thing in the morning. Take three to five minutes for yourself first. I have found it gives me more focus and energy.” As for the cornerstone research presentation, Cumulus VP/Programming and CRS Agenda Chair Greg Frey stresses the inclusion of applicable knowledge. “We want people to have something they can immediately implement when they get home, and this year it is important that stations tell listeners how they can

tune in on at-home devices,” he says. Also in the tech vein, CMA will present a study on streaming trends. “How does terrestrial ra-dio compete with streaming for share of ear?” Mayne asks. “These two important studies will provide insight.” Tight & Bright: Another change in the seminar platform is a reduction in competing panels. “Last year, people were having to make difficult choices on which to attend,” Mayne says. “So we are going to focus on the best of the best this year.” Frey adds, “We tried not to impose restrictive time limits. If a subject needs more, lets give it the time it deserves.” With two-thirds of attendees being non-reporters, a small market panel on revenue is being offered along with branding strategies. Podcasting will also be highlighted. “Some jocks may be told they have to start one,” Frey says. “Some may think it is a

way to generate revenue on their own. We’re going to show how to create them and what makes them most effective.” Some of the most anticipated sessions are longtime standards including the mentoring breakfasts, now in sales, programming and record label flavors. “The women’s mento-ring session will be even bigger this year,”
