Looking at the lineup for the Tuesday Night Opry, the show will feature two Opry members, Jeannie Seely and Gary LeVox. Also, on the schedule is comedian and very frequent Opry guest, Gary Mule Deer, who it looks like will be camping out in Nashville for the entire week.
Another frequent Opry guest, Maggie Rose is on the schedule along with Jon Langston, who will be making his Opry debut. The schedule is filled out with Eli Young Band and Scotty McCreery.

It would appear that the final hour of the show featuring Gary LeVox, Eli Young Band and Scotty McCreery will be taped for a future Opry Live on Circle TV.
At one time, there was a lot of talk that Scotty McCreery could be a future Opry member. Much like Carrie Underwood, Scotty was an American Idol winner who had released several very successful albums, including "Clear As Day," which was certified Platinum for sales of over one million units. The album was the best-selling solo album released by a country artist in 2011 and as a result of the album, Scotty became the youngest man and first country music artist in history to have his first album debut atop the all-genre Billboard Top 200 albums chart.
Scotty won the New Artist of the Year Award at both the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards and the American Country Awards in 2011 and received the CMT Music Award for the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for “The Trouble with Girls” in 2012. That same year, his Christmas album, Christmas with Scotty McCreery, was released. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Holiday Albums chart and was quickly certified Gold.
His next album, See You Tonight, was released in October 2013 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. He co-wrote five songs on the album, including the first single, “See You Tonight,” which was certified Platinum and became his first Top Ten hit.
Early on, Scotty made a few Opry appearances but as his career continued to take off, his appearances really dropped off. It is nice to see Scotty returning to the Opry stage.
Overall, a pretty solid lineup for the Tuesday night show this week.
Gary LeVox is an Opry Member? I missed that one.... when did that happen??
ReplyDeleteHe was part of Rascal Flatts, which as a group is a member, therefore, each member of the group is an Opry Member.
DeleteJust heard a Maggie Rose encore from last night's Opry on WSM.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that girl can SING!
I simply had no idea that she's THAT good.
I know there are folks here who don't like them, but the flatts were the super group of the 2000s. Compared to today's country, I think even the most triditional among us would admit they're great! haha And they do at least have fantastic musicians and they are very aware of their history. So yes, I think it's totally cool that they are still members alone and I hope we see Jay Demarcus soon as he's one of the most talented people in Nashville as a musician and producer.
