UMG Nashville’s second annual UMG Nashville Takeover event at downtown Nashville’s Skydeck on Broadway kicked off yesterday with legions of country music fans lining up for new artist Tucker Wetmore, who fielded questions from radio host Ward Guenther and gave an acoustic performance to open the four-day long event. Peloton’s Hannah Corbin hosted the day.
Rising country stars Bryce Leatherwood and Catie Offerman, performed and met with fans, and Caylee Hammack and Kylie Morgan both not only performed, but also held exclusive fan club parties. Tyler Hubbard chatted on stage with TV personality Graham Bunn and performed an acoustic set of his hit songs from his solo albums.
Today’s event (6/7) will feature performances by Kassi Ashton, Sam Williams and Lee Greenwood, a Brothers Osborne fan club party, plus a special performance by Cirque du Soleil. Rising talents Dillon James, Timothy Wayne, Belle Frantz, Owen Riegling, and Colt Graves are set to perform as part of a new artist showcase, presented by Whiskey Jam.
