Tuesday Night Opry 2/27

The Grand Ole Opry closes out the month of February with a very nice Tuesday Night Opry. Grand Ole Opry members Dailey & Vincent, Henry Cho and Jamey Johnson are on the schedule. Among the non-members appearing are Lainey Wilson and Asleep At The Wheel. Also listed is James Barker Band, who will be making their Opry debut. 

Tuesday February 27
7:00: Dailey & Vincent, James Barker Band, Henry Cho, Jamey Johnson
Intermission
8:15: Asleep At The Wheel, Charles Wesley Godwin, Lainey Wilson

My guess is that the final hour will be taped for a future Opry Live show on Circle All Access. 

James Barker Band, who will be making their Opry debut, have fueled an incredible story over the last decade, largely on their own, from opening for local bands in dive bars to charting multiple No. 1 singles and hundreds of millions of global streams to headlining festivals and playing stages across North America and Europe. After landing their record-setting, GOLD-certified fourth No. 1 in Canada with "New Old Trucks" feat. 14x GRAMMY-nominated artist Dierks Bentley, the group currently holds the title of the most No. 1’s for a Canadian country group in the BDS/Mediabase era. With this, the multi-award-winning four-piece is continuing their meteoric ascent in Nashville.

Made up of James Barker (lead vocals/guitar), Taylor Abram (guitar/background vocals), Connor Stephen (drums), and Bobby Martin (bass), the members of James Barker Band grew up within an hour of each other in rural towns surrounding Toronto. In 2017 these best friends saw their hard work pay off when they sent their single “Chills” straight to the top of Billboard’s Canadian Hot 100 chart. From there, James Barker Band released a string of successful singles, including the GOLD-certified tracks “Wastin’ Whiskey,” “New Old Trucks,” “Over All Over Again,” “There's A Drink For That”, “Just Sayin',” “It's Working,” “Lawn Chair Lazy,” “Good Together,” “Summertime,” as well as Platinum-certified songs “Keep It Simple” and "Chills'' and a GOLD-certified EP (Game On).

  1. Charles Wesley Godwin has cancelled his appearance on the Tuesday Night Opry due to illness. Anne Wilson has been added to replace him.
