ABC took a break from the fun at Nasvhille's LP Field to showcase the downtown nightlife that is truly the pulse of Music City. John Rich talked about how important the bars and honky-tonks along Broadway and Printer's Alley are to the city before introducing Luke Bryan.

Bryan's club performance was more subdued than most others broadcast on Sunday night. He sang 'Country Girl (Shake It for Me)' to a few hundred fans inside a nightclub. Despite the irresistible hip-shaking nature of the song, fans didn't seem able to cut loose quite like those at the football stadium. Once again, the sound was perfect, giving viewers at home plenty to dance along to on the sofa.

Bryan just finished opening up for Tim McGraw during the Emotional Traffic Tour, and is preparing to begin the 2011 CMT on Tour schedule. His album 'Tailgates and Tanlines' was released last week.
