This week there is a special Tuesday Night Opry, Face the Fight Night. This is being advertised as "an unforgettable evening at the Opry as we unite to Face the Fight against veteran suicide."
As with most shows that are related to our veterans or military personnel, Opry members Trace Adkins and Craig Morgan are on the schedule. Joining Trace and Craig will be Mandy Barnett, Rhonda Vincent and Henry Cho. Jason Crabb, Coffee Anderson and Tucker Wetmore, who is making his Opry debut, round out the schedule.
Tucker Wetmore's “Wind Up Missin’ You” as recently charted on the Mediabase Country chart. He received the invitation to appear on the Opry while making a social media video at his grandmother’s house in Kalama, WA. His grandmother gave him a motorcycle jacket that had belonged to his late grandfather, then said, “There’s something else that grandpa would’ve been very proud to hand to you.” Inside a case was an invitation letter from the Opry.
“The Opry was one of the reasons why I moved to this town to chase this dream and has been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember,” Wetmore wrote as part of an Instagram post with the video. Wetmore decided to move to Nashville after a 2020 visit to Nashville that included attending an Opry show.
He signed a major-label record deal this summer with UMG Nashville in partnership with Back Blocks Music, recently dropped a fiery new single, “What Would You Do?,” will have two songs featured on the star-studded soundtrack of “Twisters” (“Already Had It” and “Steal My Thunder” (with Conner Smith) and is setting his sights on releasing his debut project in early 2025. He will be touring with Luke Bryan this fall.
Whether it is the annual Opry Goes Pink, which usually takes place in October, or the annual Salute to the Military, which takes place prior to Memorial Day, the Opry does an excellent job with these shows. And thanks to the Opry members and guests, who participate.
Opry Country Classics once again returns on Thursday night with Larry Gatlin as host and one of the Opry's newest members, Sara Evans, as the Spotlight Artist.
