The upcoming Tuesday Night Opry is interesting. For one, we have another of the Grand Ole Opry's members making their first appearance of 2021 and secondly, we have two artists making their Opry debut the same night.
The Opry member making his 2021 debut is Brad Paisley. Brad will be joined by fellow Opry members Jeannie Seely and Dustin Lynch.
The two artists making their Opry debuts are Alex Hall and Kevin Nealon, who will be joined by Halley Whitters, Henry Cho and Parmalee.
Originally from Gainesville, Georgia Alex Hall picked up an acoustic guitar at the age of 14, and he quickly set to work learning every Elvis Presley song on the King’s ELV1S: 30 No. 1 Hits album – his raw talent earning him his first singing gig at a local restaurant. While singing week nights at the restaurant and preforming local shows, Alex captured the attention of a Nashville booking agent, which resulted in about 125 shows a year throughout high school…a feat for any artist, let alone someone still receiving a report card…and a valuable introduction into the country music community. Drawing influence from artists like his hero, Elvis, Keith Urban and Eric Church, along with bona fide rockers like Bruce Springsteen, and John Mayer, Alex has found a way to combine these sounds into his own atomic musical style.
Kevin Nealon is an Emmy and SAG nominated actor and comedian, best known for his nine-year stint as a cast member of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, and has received critical acclaim for his role in the Showtime series Weeds. Kevin starred on the CBS-TV comedy series Man With A Plan, and currently produces and hosts digital series Hiking with Kevin and tours his stand-up globally. He is a

Kevin’s extensive television credits include Golden Globe and SAG-nominated Weeds, the titular voice role of Glenn Martin, DDS, two critically acclaimed stand-up specials for Showtime, and a number of appearances on Monk, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Still Standing and more.
As one of the longest running cast members on NBC’s Saturday Night Live (1986-1995), Nealon created some of the show’s most memorable characters; his recurring role as an anchor on ‘Weekend Update’ helped make the sketch a show staple. In 1988, he earned an Emmy nomination as part of the SNL writing team.
