Grand Ole Opry 6/22 & 6/23

The Grand Ole Opry has posted the line-ups for the 2 shows this weekend, 1 of Friday Night and 1 on Saturday night. The Friday Night Opry will feature the annual appearance by the ACM Lifting Lives Campers, who will be completing their 3rd annual music camp at Vanderbilt University. In the past Trace Adkins has helped out with the camp and this year Big & Rich took part, and the ACM Lifting Lives Campers will be performing on the Friday Night Opry with them. Also appearing on Friday Night will be Love and Theft, The Derailers and Opry favorite Mark Wills.

The Saturday Night Grand Ole Opry will feature this week's newcomer, Jaida Dreyer. She is another one of the new talents in country music and released her first single several months ago. Her debut album will be out later this year and her website states that she wrote most of the songs on it. Mark Wills will be back for the Saturday night show, along with a return appearance of the Marshall Tucker Band, who were at the Opry several months back to a great audience reception.
