We were very excited to welcome a new and rising Nashville star as he joined us 'Live in the Lobby' today. MCA Nashville recording artist and songwriter Sam Hunt passed through around 2pm this afternoon!

Sam has had a love for country music all his life. He's a song writer that's penned songs for some of the biggest names in country music. Sam wrote 'Cop Car' by Keith Urban, 'We are Tonight' by Billy Currington, and 'Come Over' for Kenny Chesney. Sam sang us a few of his new songs that he wrote, took pictures and signed autographs today and we want to thank all who joined us!

If you didn't make the performance or want to watch it again, you can also watch Sam's performance here:
