A couple of notes:
Another nice group of Grand Ole Opry members for the mid-week shows: Jeannie Seely, John Conlee, Gary Mule Deer, Dailey & Vincent, Mandy Barnett, Riders In The Sky and Rhonda Vincent. 7 in total making 11 appearances.
Rhonda Vincent last weekend cancelled all of her appearances due to illness. Here is hoping that she is feeling better and will be back for the Thursday Night Opry.
Among those guesting this week include the very popular Dom Flemons, "Nashville" star Charles Esten, Hall of Fame songwriter Dean Dillion, and a couple of artists making their Opry debuts: Sanctus Real, The Kody Norris Show and Andy Hedges.
For those not familiar with The Kody Norris Show, who will be making their Opry debut on Wednesday Night, they are the SPBGMA Entertainers of the Year. The group, which is currently setting the world of bluegrass on fire, consists of frontman Kody Norris, Josiah Tyree, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris, and Charlie Lowman
Their success includes 2017’s When I Get the Money Made, which was named Bluegrass Album of the Year by the National Traditional Country Music Association. The Kody Norris Show followed it up with 2019’s All Suited Up, which debuted at #7 on the Billboard charts. Now playing over 100 dates a year across the country and around the world, The Kody Norris Show have been part of the University of Chicago Folk Festival and are part of two weekly programs on the acclaimed RFD-TV's network, The Cumberland Highlanders Show and The Bluegrass Trail. Their current release, Rhinestone Revival, has helped the band achieve even greater success.
Three very nice shows again this week.
Kody Norris Show is a colorful act with great music.
ReplyDeleteFor those who did not listen last night, Jeannie Seely cancelled and was replaced by Rhonda Vincent, who sounded good. Rhonda mentioned that Jeannie was just a little under the weather after the weekend trip.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Dailey & Vincent did a tribute to Bobby Osborne, on what would have been the 59th anniversary of the Osborne Brothers becoming members of the Grand Ole Opry. Bobby Osborne, Jr., was on stage and joined Dailey & Vincent on several songs including "Rocky Top."
Jeannie, TG Sheppard, Moe Bandy, Janie Fricke, and T Graham Brown put on a great show in Hinton, OK, last Friday. They each did between 6-8 songs, and they all sounded great. Moe closed the show and did "Americana" as his last song, and the others rejoined him on the stage to sing along.
DeleteThe crowd was a little slow in filing in, but was nearly full when all was said and done. I've seen several shows at this venue, and this was as good of a reaction as I've seen from the audience. Lots of smiles and satisfied people.
Gus Arrendale flew the group from Nashville and watched the show from the crowd. He was a popular man the whole night, and I enjoyed visiting with him for a couple of minutes.
The artists all stayed and signed after the show. I enjoyed getting to visit a little with each of them. They were all as good as gold.
J in OK
Thanks for the report on the show in OK. Good to see that Janie is still performing. None of your report surprises me. Sad though that we are running out of time to see such shows. Gus has done so much for the the people of the generation on this show. I remember how much he helped Jim Ed and Jean and others when they were ill and doing their last shows.

I have been to a few shows with that cast. They can all still sing well and actually hit the notes! And, they all entertain. Thanks Gus.
