Mid-Week Opry Shows

There are a number of artists who are out on the Country Cruise this week, which includes an Opry show, "Grand Ole Opry at Sea" featuring Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers, Josh Turner, John Conlee, Lorrie Morgan and Riders In The Sky, among others. That show will not be on WSM, however there are three shows this week that will be. 

Taking a look first at the Tuesday Night Opry, the lineup is very solid, featuring Opry members Jeannie Seely, Del McCoury, Rhonda Vincent and Chris Janson. The non-members listed include Scotty McCreery, Zach Williams and the comedian for this week, Gary Mule Deer.

The Wednesday Night Opry has Jeannie Seely, Bill Anderson and one of the Opry's newest members, Carly Pearce on the schedule. Callista Clark, Rhett Akins and The SteelDrivers are listed among the non-members scheduled.

Finally, closing out the month of March will be Opry Country Classics on Thursday night. Larry Gatlin will be missing again this week as he is out to sea on the cruise. However, there are a good group of artists who will be there this week including spotlight artist, and the Opry's newest member, Lauren Alaina. Also on the schedule is Opry member Mark Wills, and non-members Linda Davis, Jim Lauderdale and Michael Ray. 

Thursday March 31
Spotlight Artist: Lauren Alaina
Also Appearing: Linda Davis, Jim Lauderdale, Michael Ray, Mark Wills 

I am not sure who else noticed this or not, but the Opry's newest member (currently), Lauren Alaina, has committed to a number of shows through the rest of the year. Altogether it comes up just short of 10. Now if each of the Opry's members would do the same, especially some of the bigger names, the Opry would be a great shape through 2022. Also, for those looking ahead, the Opry has added a second show on Tuesday June 7, which is during the CMA Music Fest, and for the Saturday night shows in October.
