Every year at CRS (Country Radio Seminar), 5 up-and-coming new artists are voted in to play at the CRS New Faces show. CRS is a pretty huge radio/industry event, and the New Faces show in particular is a big deal as it allows new artists to play their music for literally everyone who works for country radio.
And it's basically a popularity contest, as only those people who work for radio stations are allowed to vote. So the New Faces show can be a pretty good indicator of which new artists radio is really enamored with. There are 11 nominees this year; their names are listed in the poll above. The top 5 vote-getters will be the New Faces performers.
I will list the artists and their respective labels again, as well as the New Faces performers from years past. Keep in mind, though, that what label they're on really doesn't matter, as label staffers do not vote. It is only those who work for country radio stations that can vote.
My question is simply this: which artists do Pulse members think will be voted in to the New Faces show? The idea isn't to vote for your favorite artists, but to vote for which ones you think are most likely to be voted in by radio employees.
Here are the 11 nominees for the CRS New Faces 2017 show:
