Mid-Week Opry Shows

There is always something special going on at the Grand Ole Opry and that will continue this week as on the Tuesday Night Opry Jamey Johnson will be celebrating his birthday with a special show that includes many of his friends. 

Joining Jamey on Tuesday night are Bill Anderson, ERNEST and Lee Brice. 

Also appearing this year is Tracy Lawrence. Many will remember that a few years back, Tracy was making a lot of Opry appearances and many thought that Tracy would eventually become a member of the Opry. Jeannie Seely was one of those who was pushing it. But, for whatever reason, Tracy stopped appearing. It is good to see him back on the schedule. Rounding out the schedule is Ruby Leigh and two artists who will be making their Opry debuts: Lily Meola and Andy Whatley & Co. 

Tuesday July 14

(Since the lineup was posted, Lee Brice has been added, and Randy Houser, who was on the original schedule, has been taken off. And as always, lineups are subject to change)

On the Wednesday Night Opry, Opry members Charlie McCoy and Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers will be appearing. Like Tuesday night, there are two more Opry debuts on the schedule as Daniel Grindstaff and The Uptown Troubadours will be making their debut, as will The Last Revel. Comedian Dusty Slay returns and rounding out the Wednesday schedule are Drew Baldridge and Priscilla Block. 

Daniel Grindstaff has appeared on the Opry previously, performing with Jim & Jesse and The Osborne Brothers. He later toured with Marty Raybon. He is a two-time IBMA nominated performer. The Last Revel is from Minnesota and is well known on the Americana/Indie-folk circuit. 

Wrapping up the week is the Thursday Night Opry with Opry members Mandy Barnett, Gene Watson, Rhonda Vincent and Riders In The Sky heading up the night. Gospel legend Jason Crabb is scheduled to appear, as is Ashland Craft and Niko Moon. Finally, there is another Opry debut as Tyce Delk rounds out the lineup. 

Tyce Delk is from New Mexico, and his Opry invite was announced on stage while performing at the New Mexico Stage FFA Convention, with his father making the announcement. The Delk Family Band began in 1934 and Tyce will be joined by the family band at the Opry. 

(Lineups have yet to be posted for Wednesday and Thursday)
