It is another week and another change in the Grand Ole Opry's lineup of mid-week Opry shows. This week the Tuesday Night Opry returns with a special show, along with Opry Country Classics on Thursday night. Missing this week, and for the next several months, will be the Wednesday Night Opry, which will return in June.
As mentioned, it will be a special Tuesday Night Opry as Belmont University will take over The Grand Ole Opry during “Belmont at the Opry,” taking place on April 9. The event will celebrate the 50th year of Belmont’s pioneering music business program.
“We are thrilled to team up with the Opry for this momentous occasion, celebrating 50 years of Music Business at Belmont,” says Brittany Schaffer, Dean of the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business. “This program started as a partnership between Belmont and Music Row, and it is a joy to honor that legacy by highlighting the diverse accomplishments of our talented alumni on country music’s most famous stage.”
The lineup features some of Belmont’s most notable alumni. Country acts Trisha Yearwood, Tyler Hubbard and Hailey Whitters will take the stage. In addition, there will be a songwriter’s round featuring Ashley Gorley, Hillary Lindsey and Nicolle Galyon.
Launched in 1973, Belmont’s music business program has created a legacy within the industry. With support from former University President Dr. Herbert Gabhart, program-founder and professor Bob Mulloy, industry executive Cecil Scaife and Mike Curb, the program has graduated more than 6,000 alumni throughout its 50 years. Specialized programs include audio engineering technology, songwriting, creative & entertainment industries, film and more, totaling 11 undergraduate and two graduate programs.
Here is the lineup for the Tuesday Night Opry:
7:00
Belmont Bluegrass Ensemble
Ashley Cooke
Writers In The Round (Nicolle Gaylon, Ashley Gorley, Hillary Lindsay)
Trisha Yearwood
8:15
Hailey Whitters

Only one Opry member on the schedule, but it is a big one.
Here is the lineup for Opry Country Classics on Thursday night:
Host: Larry Gatlin
Spotlight Artist: Sawyer Brown
Also Appearing: The Gatlin Brothers, Erin Enderlin, The Malpass Brothers, Charlie McCoy
Nice to see Charlie McCoy back on the Opry schedule after taking some time off.
I think LasVegas should start taking bets on when the first Grand Old 'Opry show will hit the airwaves without a single 'Opry member on it !

For those who missed it, including myself, Brad Paisley appeared unannounced on the Tuesday Night Opry as part of the Belmont night.
ReplyDeleteDid he need a map to get there? Sorry, but I am really peeved at his lack of showing up, even if he helped my Dodgers acquire Ohtani.

ReplyDeleteDid you see this? I saw Vince was on the schedule for the 13th but not Patty and Clint.
Thank you, that is a little confusing since it is not actually. They must finally be showing parts of the December 2 show with Vince and Patty. I was there and it was amazing.
