Summer is upon us, and CMA Festival Week is finished. It was certainly a busy and news filled week. Looking ahead at the Opry, the month of June will see Opry shows taking place Tuesday-Saturday nights, with Sunday night shows added in the month of July.
Starting with the Tuesday Night Opry, Grand Ole Opry members Riders In The Sky, Don Schlitz and comedian Gary Mule Deer head up the list. A couple of Opry NextStage artists are on the schedule: Priscilla Block and Travis Denning. Rounding out the list are Drew Baldridge, Sierra Hull and Kim Richey.
Looking ahead to Wednesday night, Gary Mule Deer is back, joined by T. Graham Brown. Opry NextStage artist 40 Winchester is scheduled to appear, along with very frequent Opry guest Charles Esten. Rounding out Wednesday night is Shelly Fairchild, Jason Carter & Michael Cleveland, Wendy Moten and finally, Canadian singer/songwriter Dallas Smith, who will be making his Opry debut.
Finally, on Thursday night, Gary Mule Deer returns, along with Crystal Gayle, Rhonda Vincent and Charlie McCoy. George Birge and Paul McDonald are on the schedule, as are a couple of artists who will be making their Opry debuts, Jenny Lewis, who cancelled out on her previous scheduled appearance, and Shawna Thompson, who will be making her solo Opry debut. If that name sounds familiar, it is because she was one of the co-founders of Thompson Square, who appeared on the Opry numerous times.
That covers the mid-week shows for the coming week. Solid lineups each night.
This song from Shawna Thompson has a good country sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWgn1NmwxOg&t=192s
