New Summer Show At The Opry?
I received a survey from the Grand Ole Opry and they are considering a summer addition to it's show line-up. The show they are considering adding would be a show featuring the down-home music and comedy of Opry star Mike Snider and his band, plus other country comedy. It would take place in Studio A at the Opry house, where Hee Haw was filmed during its last years. Anytime live music is added in Nashville, I think is a good idea and if this show is priced right, it should appeal to the various tour groups and visitors that come to Nashville during the summer. Mike Snider is a great musician and comedian.
YES! This should definitely be added. Nashville needs more live music. The city has really shot itself in the foot by trying to become a sports town instead of a music town.... it all started with the demise of TNN.
