There are only two Opry shows in the mid-week schedule as Opry Country Classics is off the schedule for this week.
Taking a quick look at the Tuesday Night Opry, Grand Ole Opry members Ashley McBryde, Riders In The Sky and Charlie McCoy are on the schedule. Blind Boys of Alabama heads the list of non-members, joined by Tyler Hubbard, Midland, Shelly Fairchild and Tami Neilson. For Tami, it will be her Opry debut.
On Wednesday night, Grand Ole Opry member Jeannie Seely is on the schedule. On Monday, she celebrated her 57th anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry cast. Opry members Rhonda Vincent and Jamey Johnson will be joining Jeannie on Wednesday night. Also appearing will be Opry NextStage artist Flatland Cavalry, Dasha, The Shootouts, Paul Thorn and Chancey Williams.
The reason for no Opry Country Classics this week? Comedian, and banjo player Steve Martin, along with fellow comedian Martin Short are booked for a show at the Opry House.
It breaks my heart, but it is clear the "new normal" has become 3 'Opry members on the schedule for a typical 'Opry show.
ReplyDeleteAnd no more hosts or portions which added to the personality of the show. Guess that’s how things are now. Probably not enough Opry members on a show to host the different portions anyhow.
