Mid-Week Opry Shows 9/21; 9/22; 9/23

The line-ups have been posted for the Tuesday Night and Wednesday Night Opry shows, along with a preliminary list for Opry Country Classics on Thursday night. 

Tuesday September 21
7:00: Riders In The Sky; Hannah Dasher; Paul Thorn; Connie Smith
Intermission
8:15: Valerie June; Gary LeVox; Gary Mule Deer; Old Crow Medicine Show

Nice to see that 4 of the 8 acts are Grand Ole Opry members (I consider Gary LeVox an Opry member as he is a member of Rascal Flatts). Gary Mule Deer is the designated comedian on the show, and as you will see, he is also on the schedule for Wednesday night (and that comes after his appearances this past Friday and Saturday). 

What is also surprising is that this will be just the 2nd appearance for Old Crow Medicine Show this year. I know they have been out touring but in the past, they have been very supportive of the Opry. 

Wednesday September 22
7:00: Connie Smith; Rett Akins; Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley; Lindsay Ell
Intermission
8:15: Jake Hoot; Gary Mule Deer; Maggie Rose; Steven Curtis Chapman

While 4 members of the Opry are scheduled for Tuesday night, Connie Smith is the only Opry member listed for the Wednesday night show.  Nice to see another appearance by Jake Hoot, who I have enjoyed previously, along with Steven Curtis Chapman. 

As far as Opry Country Classics on Thursday night, which will take place at the Ryman Auditorium, the entire line-up has not been listed as of yet, but Larry Gatlin will again be the host, joined by brothers Steve and Rudy. Opry member Steve Wariner is the spotlight artist this week, while Janelle Arthur is the only other act listed.
