It seems that each week, there is a different group of mid-week Opry shows. Last week the shows were on Tuesday and Thursday. This week, we have the usual Tuesday Night Opry and we are back to the Wednesday Night Opry.
Starting off with the Tuesday night show, Grand Ole Opry members Riders In The Sky, Chris Janson, Charlie McCoy, Henry Cho and Del McCoury are on the schedule for what looks like a pretty good show.
Tuesday June 13
7:00: Riders In The Sky, Nate Smith, Amythyst Kiah, Chris Janson
Intermission
8:15: Charlie McCoy, Willie Jones, Henry Cho, Cochren & Co, Del McCoury Band
The only real item of note is that this will be the Opry debut for Cochren & Co.
Michael Cochren is a singer/songwriter and worship leader born and raised in a small Indiana town. After graduating from school, Cochren began playing music across the country with a band of friends, including his wife Leah, under the name Cochren & Co. (pronounced Cochren and Company). With hope-filled lyrics and timeless melodies, Cochren & Co. blurs the line between American pop/rock and soul/blues to create a classic sound all their own. Dove Award Nominated Cochren & Co. have toured coast to coast amassing a loyal following of new listeners wherever they go. Their debut full-length album, Don’t Lose Hope, was released on Gotee Records in 2021 and includes Billboard Top 10 Radio Hits “Church (Take Me Back)”, “One Day”, and “Who Can.” In February 2023, Cochren & Co. released their sophomore album, Running Home.
While Cochren & Co. will be making their Opry debut on Tuesday night, Phillip Pillips and Jordan St. Cyr will be making their debuts on Wednesday Night.

Known for his high energy shows, Phillips has toured with superstar artists such as Matt Nathanson, John Mayer, the Goo Goo Dolls and even shared the stage with Bruce Springsteen at the Rock in Rio Festival.
