Tuesday Night Opry 4/16 & Opry Country Classics 4/17

It's a pretty big Tuesday Night Opry this week as Opry member Kelsea Ballerini will be celebrating her 5th anniversary as an Opry member (just to clarify, it will be her 5th year as an Opry member, not her 5th Opry appearance). Kelsea is another of those members who just doesn't seem to be able to find the time to make many Opry appearances. Regardless, I am happy to see her on the schedule for Tuesday night. 

Also appearing will be one of the biggest stars in country music today: Jelly Roll. He has made a few Opry appearances over the last couple of years and has always appreciated being on the show. 

Joining those two will be Opry members Riders In The Sky, Rhonda Vincent, Gary Mule Deer and Terri Clark. Very frequent Opry guest Maggie Rose and making his Opry debut, Tyler Halverson round out the lineup.

Tyler Halverson is from Canton, SD. He says he isn’t just any cowboy. He’s got the hat and the boots, but he also plays a mean guitar and writes an even meaner tune. He has no problem bouncing around the country chasing adventure and is telling his different kind of cowboy tale with his self-described “Western Amerijuana Music,” bridging honest storytelling with songcraft inspired by country powerhouses Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Hayes Carll as much as Boyz II Men, Taking Back Sunday, and The Used. He attended college at Belmont University and after graduation, he decided to hit the road and spent an extended run traveling around South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, all the while writing and playing his songs on social media. Halverson’s original approach caught fire with a string of independent releases including “Beer Garden Baby,” “Mac Miller,” and “Your Bar Now” (with Kylie Frey), amassing tens of millions of streams. Now, with new music still to come throughout the year, Tyler Halverson is eager to take the next step on what has already proven an amazing journey. 

There is a change this week with Opry Country Classics. Normally held on Thursday night, this week, thanks to a show featuring Andrew Schulz at the Opry House, Opry Country Classics moves to Wednesday night.
