"If you listen to and love country music and it’s history, then you know that there is no greater honor and privilege than performing on the Opry stage. I can count on my hands how many times I’ve cried in the past 20 years. The day Charlie Daniels called to say I’ve been invited to perform on the Grand Ole Opry is one of them." (Scott Brown)
After four years and three months, two tours overseas with one tour of combat in Iraq as a United States Marine, Scott Brown traded his guns in for guitars and hit the road. Scooter Brown Band was formed and began playing mainly in and around Houston, Texas. They have toured North America and opened for some of their biggest influences including Charlie Daniels Band, Travis Tritt, Dwight Yoakam, Lee Roy Parnell and the Marshall Tucker Band, just to name a few. With two of the members having served in the military, they dedicate significant time doing work for Veteran Support Organizations like Base Camp 40 - Warriors in the Wild, Lone Survivor Foundation, and the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation. For the last few years the band has been building a new era in their career.
Defined as modern southern rock the band released American Son in late 2017 and was named Rolling Stone Country Artist to Watch. Brown was featured as a finalist on USA Network’s “Real Country” in 2018 and was awarded Male Vocalist of the Year at the 3rd Annual Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards presented by iHeartRadio. The band has continued a rigorous touring schedule while writing with some of the biggest songwriters in Nashville and recording new music set to release in 2019.
I am sure that many of you have not heard of Scott Brown and his group before. I admit that I had not. He is appearing on the Tuesday Night Opry at the special invitation of one of his idols, Charlie Daniels, who called Scott personally with an invitation to appear. I am sure it will be a memorable night as Scooter Brown Band makes their debut on the Opry stage.

Nice to see Joe Nichols back on the Opry schedule. There was a time, back a few year ago, when Joe was making a lot of guest appearances on the show.
Joe Nichols mentioned he hadn't been on the Opry in 11 years. That's really sad. Bob
ReplyDeleteByron, might you have the last time Joe Nichols was on the Opry? What makes me think it's been two years or less? He was GOOD!!! I have always liked him & his music. And if it really has been 11 years, the Opry & Joe have it in each of them to get him onto the stage before 11 years go by.

Nichols was on the Opry country classics within the last year and that was his first appearance in many years on an Opry show.
ReplyDeleteThank you mil06041965 & Bob ... I thought he was on the Opry within the last year or so because I listened to the show.
DeleteFor me, an Opry show is an Opry show, each of the nights is just a different name of an Opry show & theme.
I sure do like Joe Nichols a whole lot.
