One of the special nights on the Grand Ole Opry calendar is the annual show in October when the "Opry Goes Pink" when the Grand Ole Opry once again unites with Susan G. Komen in the fight against breast cancer! The signature barn background will light up pink, and a portion of every ticket sold benefits this powerful cause.
You can always count on a strong lineup for this special show and this year is no different as Megan Moroney is on the schedule. Joining Megan is Deana Carter, MacKenzie Carpenter, Opry member and breast cancer survivor Mandy Barnett, and Benny G. Rounding out the lineup are a couple of Opry debuts, Jillian Cardarelli and Briley King.
The Wednesday Night Opry will be highlighted by an appearance by Brothers Osborne. Joining the duo are Opry members Henry Cho and Rhonda Vincent, Colby Acuff, Megan Wood, Rick
Trevino, and making her Opry debut, Meels.
The Thursday Night Opry is a special show with the theme: “Grand Ole Opry: Celebrating 50 Years of the CCMA”
The special Opry celebration will bring together generations of Canadian Country Music artists, honoring the longtime connection between the Opry and the Canadian country music community. Canadian artists scheduled to perform include Opry member Terri Clark, as well as Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Paul Brandt, Tami Neilson, Brett Kissel, Tenille Arts and two artists who will be making their Opry debuts: Gord Bamford and Jess Moskaluke.
The evening will also feature special guest announcers Jackie Rae Greening, longtime radio personality and programmer and Shannon Ella, four-time CCMA Award winner and iHeart Radio personality.
The celebration will feature an especially meaningful Opry moment from this year’s CCMA Awards. During Saturday night’s broadcast, Stella Lefty’s Opry debut performance of “Boston” recorded from the Opry stage, was featured as part of the awards show. The evening also brought an unforgettable surprise when Shannon Ella invited Jess Moskaluke to make her Opry debut during the October 29 “Grand Ole Opry: Celebrating 50 Years of the CCMA” show.
From artists who have helped build the foundation of Canadian country music to the voices carrying its story forward, “Grand Ole Opry: Celebrating 50 Years of the CCMA” will honor the special place Canadian country music holds within the wider country music community, and the longstanding relationship between Canadian artists and the Grand Ole Opry.
