Hear Emily Ann Roberts Perform “Try Everything” For the Country Bear Musical Jamboree
Earlier this week, Disney gave fans a sneak peek at some of the new songs coming to The Country Bear Musical Jamboree.
For those who have perhaps not been closely following along, Disney World closed the original Country Bear Jamboree on January 27 in order to make way for a new show.
Expected to open this summer, the new Country Bear Musical Jamboree will continue to pay homage to the Opry-style shows of Nashville. For the new show, however, the bears will sing reinterpreted Disney songs in different genres of country music. These styles will include bluegrass, pop-country, Americana, rockabilly, and more.
The Nashville Musicians Behind the Country Bear Musical Jamboree
To bring the new show to life, Disney brought in a group of Nashville’s finest musicians, led by 10-time CMA Musician of the Year Mac McAnally.
Joining Mac are Allison Russell and Christopher Scott Thile, who will perform a mandolin-drenched version of “A Whole New World” as the voices of Teddi Barra and Wendell.
Country music singer Emily Ann Roberts is also set to join the cast, performing “Try Everything” from Zootopia as the new voice of Trixie St. Claire.
Hear the New Version of “Try Everything”
In a new post on Instagram, Walt Disney Imagineering shared a clip of Roberts recording her version of “Try Everything” for the new show.
“I was so excited that we were going to get to take a classic Disney song and make it country,” Roberts says in the clip. “And when I got to hear Mac’s production on it, it’s just like a full-blown hoedown.”

Roberts’s version of the Zootopia song is full of twang and banjo; it is certainly country.
When Will the Country Bear Musical Jamboree Open?
While we don’t have an official opening date for the Country Bear Musical Jamboree yet, the show is expected to open this summer.
I, for one, can’t wait to see the bears return to Grizzly Hall!
