One of the great events that takes place at the Grand Ole Opry is the annual "Salute The Troops." This year the event will take place during the Tuesday Night Opry on May 23.
Besides the actual Opry show, U.S. Military Members and Veterans, as well as spouses, children, and parents of service members are invited to walk the red carpet into the Grand Ole Opry House prior to the show. The red-carpet walk begins at 5:30 and gives the public the opportunity to salute the troops and their families for their service to the nation.
This show usually has a stellar lineup, and this year is no exception as Grand Ole Opry members Oak Ridge Boys, Rhonda Vincent and John Conlee head the list. Also appearing will be LOCASH, Jason Crabb, The War and Treaty and Craig Campbell.
Here is the lineup:
7:00: Rhonda Vincent, Craig Campbell, John Conlee, Jason Crabb
Intermission
8:15: Oak Ridge Boys, The War and Treaty, LOCASH
It promises to be a wonderful night at the Opry.
As an FYI, Tuesday will be the only mid-week Opry show this week. Opry Country Classics finished its spring run of shows last week, while the Wednesday Night Opry will resume next week.
The best one of these I've ever heard was I'm pretty sure the year was 2012. It was headlined by Ronnie Milsap and featured if memory serves Little Jimmy, non member at the time Mark Wills, and maybe, Josh Turner? I just will never forget that night because every act was just amazing! You got that line up Byron?
