The month of February is upon us and to start the month off there will be a Thursday Night Opry this week. It does feel a bit strange to have a Thursday night show this early in the year, but the main attraction for the show seems to be a guest appearance by Cody Johnson.
Cody is one of the up-and-coming newcomers in country music and is already making an impact. Cody has already won several awards, including New Male Vocalist of the Year in the Texas Regional Radio Music Awards. He has been compared to George Strait, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. I think all would agree that Cody has a bright future in country music.
Joining Cody on Thursday night will be Opry members Mandy Barnett, Dailey & Vincent and Lorrie Morgan, who is celebrating her "Ruby" year as a member of the Opry. Guesting will be Drake Milligan, Ian Munsick and Kevin Fowler, who will be making his Opry debut.

I would assume that the last hour will be taped for a future Circle All-Access airing.
I'm sure you're right Byron. No doubt they would pick the hour without a single 'Opry member as the one to record. Every TV platform has always messed with the live 'Opry broadcast.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of Circle Network.
Maybe that's why Circle is no longer on the airwaves, but only exist as a streaming platform. It wouldn't pain me much if they simply vanished.
It's awful to be old and grouchy! :)
I'll bet that was a great first hour!
