Kelly Clarkson Debuts New Songs, Brad Paisley Rocks With REO at Cruise Concert

The General Jackson river boat was rockin’ last night as Brad Paisley welcomed surprise guests REO Speedwagon on Sony Music Nashville’s 27th annual cruise. Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, Chris Young and “X Factor” winner Tate Stevens were among the artists who performed for radio programmers, execs and media gathered for Sony’s big Country Radio Seminar showcase.

Sara Evans, Love and Theft, Casey James, Tyler Farr and Joanna Smith were among the artists schmoozing with the predominantly radio crowd as the General Jackson cruised the Cumberland River. Young could be seen chatting with programmers and hoisting his glass for a toast as he worked the crowd right up until show time. When his turn came to take the stage, Young performed his current single, “I Can Take it From There” and “All Y’all,” which is among the new tunes he’s been working on for his next album.
