Following a great Opry Country Christmas show last Sunday night, there will be two more shows this week featuring Christmas music from the decorated Grand Ole Opry House.
Larry Gatlin will once again be hosting both nights, with the Gatlin Brothers, Mandy Barnett, Riders In The Sky and Charlie McCoy scheduled once again for both nights.
Sunday December 5
Host: Larry Gatlin
Spotlight Artist: Lorrie Morgan
Also Appearing: Gatlin Brothers, John Berry, Mandy Barnett, Charlie McCoy, Riders In The Sky
Wednesday December 8
Host: Larry Gatlin
Spotlight Artist: John Turner
Also Appearing: Gatlin Brothers, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, Jake Hoot, Mandy Barnett, Charlie McCoy, Riders In The Sky
If last Sunday is any indication, both of these shows promise to get everyone in the holiday spirit.
My wife and I were at the show last night (Sunday) and it was really good. I had never seen Charlie McCoy perform in person and he is just so comfortable on stage and has a great rapport with the audience. For a person who has isn't known as a "front man", I was really impressed.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing Riders in the Sky and John Berry's voice is simply amazing.
I do not know just what consists of a “past Opry member”, but Gary Scruggs has passed away who was a member of the Earl Scruggs Revue in the 1970’s. Opry membership may have only belonged to Earl in that case.
ReplyDeleteVery odd.
DeleteChris Scruggs is the son of Gary Scruggs, but Gary's obituary does not list Chris as a son. Anybody know what that is all about?
Nat,
DeleteI don't think they ever had a relationship. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that he only met Earl once.
I just searched for the article and found it. It's from 2010.
