The upcoming weekend is CMA Fest. In what has become an annual tradition at the Grand Ole Opry, there will be mid-weeks shows on Tuesday and Wednesday nights leading up to the formal start of the festival on Thursday.
In what has also become a yearly tradition, there will be two shows on Tuesday night as Opry member Carrie Underwood will be appearing. While many will be excited to see and hear Carrie, I am sure that an equally number of fans will be anxious to see the recent winner of American Idol, Hannah Harper, who will be making her Opry debut that night.
The schedule also includes Opry members Bill Anderson, Henry Cho and Dailey & Vincent, with Avery Anna and Drake Milligan rounding it out.
While most of the focus will be on Tuesday night, Wednesday night also offers a solid show with members Steven Curtis Chapman, Mandy Barnett, Rhonda Vincent and Charlie McCoy scheduled. Also appearing are Flatland Cavalry, Laci Kaye Booth and Lanie Gardner.
