It looks like a very solid Tuesday Night Opry this week, featuring a number of guest artists. Sadly, as of this point, there are no Grand Ole Opry members listed on the schedule.
Among those appearing, Jimmie Allen will be making another appearance on the Opry stage. Jimmie has had a very strong year, enjoying a lot of success, not only as a solo act, but also working with Opry member Brad Paisley.
Comedian, and Opry Live host, Bobby Bones is also scheduled, as is Maggie Rose, The Travelin' McCourys, Elvie Shane, the fabulous Dom Flemons, and making their Opry debut, Neon Union.
As far as Opry Country Classics on Thursday night, the show will again take place at the Ryman Auditorium, with Larry Gatlin hosting. Ricky Skaggs in the Spotlight Artist, and also appearing will be John Berry, Hannah Dasher and The Swon Brothers.
For those interested, here is the running order for the Tuesday Night Opry:
ReplyDelete7:00: John Conlee, Neon Union, Bobby Bones, Maggie Rose
Intermission
8:15: Dom Flemons, Elvie Shane, Travelin' McCourys, Jimmie Allen
So the "Opry" has become a concert venue. If a Grand Ole Opry member happens to be on the show that's a bonus. The Saturday night Grand Ole Opry is headed that way. I won't be surprised that once the GOO reaches the 100th anniversary there will be many more changes.
ReplyDeleteI just hope it has the 3.5 years left in it to last that long resembling the Opry as we think of it. We are only a few retirements away from it now.

It's a really sad day when an 'Opry show has ONE 'Opry member.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I would invite Dom Flemons TOMORROW to be a member.
