It promises to be a special night at the Grand Ole Opry House as Grand Ole Opry member Trisha Yearwood makes an appearance on the Tuesday Night Opry. What makes this evening so special is that she will be joined by Wynonna Judd, who will be making a rare guest appearance on the Opry.
Also on the schedule are Opry members Riders In The Sky, along with Kip Moore, the wonderful and talented Charlie Worsham and making their Opry debuts, Austin Snell and O.N.E. the Duo.
I will be honest; I have never heard of O.N.E. The Duo. Here is a brief description:
O.N.E The Duo, consisting of Tekitha and Prana Supreme, daughter of hip hop legend and Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA, is a captivating mother-daughter country music duo who share a passion for extraordinary music. Their philosophy and approach to life and songwriting are encapsulated in the acronym O.N.E, representing "observant, noetic, effervescent." Their music is a harmonious fusion of country, hip hop, soul, R&B, and jazz that defies traditional genre limitations and offers their own unique country sound with a twist. As a result of purposefully pushing musical boundaries, their music represents their multicultural upbringing, transcends labels, and resonates with diverse audiences.
As to Matt Snell, his name has come up on various Top 10 lists of Country and Americana artists that fans need to be aware of. Last month, he released his major label debut album Muddy Water Rockstar. He has had over 115 million global streams and is embarking on his own headlining tour. During the past year he has opened for Jelly Roll, Bailey Zimmerman, and Nickelback, one of the bands whose influence led him to create his own sound.

I will address the elephant in the room: There are rumors, and some people are thinking that Wynonna could be asked to become a member of the Opry on Tuesday night. It's no secret that Wynonna has had a heck of a year. I also realize that she really hasn't appeared on the Opry that often. I do find it interesting that on the schedule, she is closing out the show and not Trisha. I don't know if that means anything. In the end, I have no idea if she will be asked or not. I'm just reporting the speculation. Personally, while not my first choice, I would be fine either way.
With what poor Wynona has been through recently, and given her tremendous popularity, I would be happy to see her join the 'Opry.
ReplyDeleteI remember Vince Gill telling Eddie Montgomery that the 'Opry family could help him with his grief. I would like to think they could do the same thing for Wynona.
I have no words - just looked at the webpage for o.n.e duo
ReplyDeleteSome of their stuff on youtube sounds more country than many of the acts I've heard on the 'Opry lately. They may very well fool both of us.
DeleteSince Wynonna hosted the Opry Country Show that was taped in September for airing on NBC in December, it could tie the loose ends together as to why a non-Opry member hosted an Opry themed show.
ReplyDeleteSuits me Patrick.
