In addition to the two Opry Country Christmas shows that will be taking place, there will also be the Tuesday Night Opry. Don Schlitz and The Isaacs are the only two Opry members on the schedule, but there are a couple of interesting names to mention, the first of which is Shaun Cassidy, who will be making his Opry debut. Yes, THE Shaun Cassidy. 

The son of Tony award winning actor Jack Cassidy and Academy award winner Shirley Jones (and half-brother of the late singer/actor David Cassidy), Shaun grew up in Los Angeles and New York City. While still in high school, he signed a contract with Warner Brothers records. This led to three multi-platinum albums and numerous top ten hits including "Da Doo Ron Ron", "That's Rock n' Roll", "Hey Deanie", and "Do You Believe In Magic?" Cassidy received a Grammy nomination for his efforts and performed at every major arena in the country including Houston’s Astrodome and New York’s Madison Square Garden. Almost concurrently, he starred in the ABC television series THE HARDY BOYS MYSTERIES. Later, while appearing on Broadway in the hit musical BLOOD BROTHERS, Shaun wrote his first television pilot, AMERICAN GOTHIC. When the show debuted, The New York Times called it “The most original new show of the season.”

Currently working under an exclusive long term development deal with NBC/Universal television, Shaun makes his home in the wine country of Santa Barbara with his wife, Tracey, their four children, and more animals than he can count. 

Also appearing, and adding to his list of Opry appearances, will be Charles Esten, along with Opry NextStage artist Niko Moon, Matthew West, Lindsay Ell and rounding out the lineup, Brothers Of The Heart. 

A really great lineup of shows this week.
