CRS New Faces 2011 Lineup Announced

The Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) has announced the lineup for the 2011 New Faces showcase taking place during next year's Country Radio Seminar. The Band Perry, Lee Brice, Easton Corbin, Jerrod Niemann and Josh Thompson will take the spotlight at the special industry showcase for radio programmers and key personnel who can "make or break" artists' careers. The five emerging artists were selected for having achieved significant success at country radio during the past 12 months.

"Our New Faces show is always one of the highlights of Country Radio Seminar (CRS) because attendees get a chance to see some of country radio's brightest up-and-coming stars," says CRB President Mike Culotta. "The CRB board chose to include more of the country-radio industry in the voting process this year, which we feel gives us a better understanding of what country radio listeners out there are really responding to in terms of the newer acts. Congratulations to all of this year's New Faces performers. I know it's going to be a terrific show!"

The CRS 2011 New Faces of Country Music show will take place Friday, March 4, 2011, at the Nashville Convention Center. The CRB-Country Aircheck Awards are also presented during the New Faces show. The awards, which debuted last year at CRS, recognize those individuals that have demonstrated outstanding efforts in country radio and the music industry in the past year. A total of 28 awards will be presented during the New Faces show.
