Remember when Luke Bryan said he would like to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry? If not, let me refresh it for you:
“I’ve got to put in some good word with them, maybe I can be a member one day."
He then indicated that he may make more of an effort to get that “Opry nod” himself.
“You know, me and my managers sit down and I’m like, ‘I’ve got to get my butt out to the Opry and play more’,” Luke admits, “So, Opry, save me some dates I’m comin’.”
For those keeping count, he made those comments back in September 2018 when Dustin Lynch was inducted as the Opry's newest member. And, for those who are interested, he and his managers must not have been in touch with the Opry about saving him some dates, because since he made that statement, he has not been back to the Opry.
But that all changes this Tuesday night as Luke Bryan is scheduled for both shows that night as the "Opry Goes Pink" for their annual night to honor breast cancer survivors. W=
While there is nothing to indicate that he will be offered Opry membership on Tuesday night, and it would be a surprise and disappointment if he was, I am happy that he is coming back to do the show as it has been several years since he has been on.
Joining Luke on the Tuesday Night Opry will be Opry members Craig Morgan, Travis Tritt, Joe Diffie and the Oak Ridge Boys, Guesting will be Sara Evans and Anita Cochran.

Thanks Patrick. Time will tell as to what format they use.
DeleteFor those who listened last night, both shows were outstanding. I thought Luke Bryan was impressive and enjoyed hearing him and just his guitar.
