Tuesday Night Opry 12/14

One of the gambles you take in purchasing a ticket to the Opry is when you purchase a ticket expecting to see a certain artist. When that artist cancels, it doesn't make you happy. With that said, I am sure there are some unhappy folks this week as Lady A, who was originally on the Opry's schedule for Tuesday night, has cancelled. They have been replaced by Sister Sadie. Nothing against Sister Sadie, but they certainly are not up to the popularity or star power of Lady A. 

While the Opry's tickets are non-refundable, in past situations the Opry has shown a willingness to work with the ticket buyers, and in some cases, allowing for a one time exchange for a future show. Not sure if they are doing that in this case, but hopefully they are working with any unhappy ticket buyers. 

Here is the line-up for the Tuesday Night Opry December 17

7:00: Riders In The Sky, Jeannie Seely, Henry Cho, Nefresh Mountain
Intermission
8:15: Jameson Rodgers, Charles Esten, Sister Sadie, Chris Janson

Nefresh Mountain will be making their Opry debut and this group is considered one of the new boundary pushing bluegrass groups. The group was formed in 2014, first hitting the charts in 2016. The are currently touring in support of their third album. 

As those of us who have been Opry fans for a while, and understand how the Opry works, we realize that when you buy a ticket to an Opry show, it is with the expectation that you really don't know who will be appearing. You hope for the best and sometimes you get the best while other times you don't. Sadly, the way the Opry advertises and pushes some of the shows, today's new Opry fans don't understand the true concept of the Opry.
