Every year, during the annual Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, the Big Machine Label Group hosts a luncheon for the industry crowd. And the dessert is always some kind of live showcase of the country music from the artists on their roster. <\/p>\n

This year, on Friday (Feb. 21), that roster got a little bit bigger. <\/p>\n

About halfway through the showcase \u2014 after Florida Georgia Line and newcomers Avenue Beat each played a few songs and shared their gratitude with all the radio decision makers in the room \u2014 the label\u2019s president Scott Borchetta got ready to introduce a real bad boy and a real good man<\/a>. \u201cPlease welcome Big Machine recording artist, Tim McGraw,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

McGraw came out on stage, answering the question of where he\u2019d land<\/a> after leaving Sony recently. \u201cScott and I go back a long way,\u201d McGraw said, \u201c25 years ago, when his dad signed me at Curb Records. So I have a special place in my heart for the Borchetta family. It\u2019s good to be back, and we\u2019ve got a lot of work to do, and I know we can do that work.\u201d McGraw was with Curb Records from 1994-2012 before moving to Big Machine for the first time. He moved to Sony in 2017, and earlier this month, it was revealed that they were going their separate ways. <\/p>\n

Other stand-out moments from the show were when Lady Antebellum took a trip down memory lane to their 2007 debut single \u201cLove Don\u2019t Live Here\u201d and their first CRS, new kid Payton Smith showed off some serious banjo skills the day before he\u2019s scheduled to make his Opry debut, and Danielle Bradbery came out to share some new music at last. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know that I\u2019ve been silent for a little bit,\u201d Bradbery explained to the radio bosses from around the country, \u201cand I think no matter who you are, you need those times in your life to just sit down and sit back and say, \u2019Who am I and what am I gonna say and what\u2019s my story?\u2019 And that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m figuring out today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I heard this first one, I felt something,\u201d she said of the instantly infectious \u201cGirls In My Hometown.\u201d<\/p>\n
