If you were looking for any more incentive to check out the Beartrap Summer Festival (you shouldn't be- it's awesome), then look no further, because right before they gear up for our festival, the Marshall Tucker Band will playing the stage of stages- The Grand Ole Opry.
Keith Urban better clean one more spot on his mantel full of trophies and awards, as he was asked to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry!
November 3, 2011 Well the Devil went down to Georgia...and the rest was history. It makes sense that the very first Legends at Lunch Video of the day would be the "Legend of Legends," Charlie Daniels. Enjoy.
Rascal Flatts are officially the newest members of the Grand Ole Opry! The trio was inducted into the Opry last night, Oct. 8, in a ceremony that was simultaneously celebrating the institution’s 86th birthday.
It’s been a pretty amazing decade for Rascal Flatts — they released seven platinum-selling albums and graced the charts’ top spots a number of times — but their latest honor might be the most meaningful of all: an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry.
How does a legend celebrate his birthday?
In the case of George Jones, who will turn 80 on September 13, it’s with a birthday party at the Grand Ole Opry. And dessert.
His youthful tenor never seems to age, so it’s hard to believe Vince Gill has been making music for decades. In fact, he released the first of his 12 solo albums, ‘Turn Me Loose,’ way back in 1984.
Since then, Gill has charted more than 40 singles, sold more than 22 million records and won 20 Grammys. At this point, he’s running out of milestones — but there was still one left for him to celebrate on Saturday, when he marked 20 years as a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
Billy Grammer, the singer and guitarist best known for his million-selling 1959 hit ‘Gotta Travel On,’ passed away Wednesday after a long illness. He was 85.
A World War Two Army veteran, Grammer broke into country music only after losing his job as a toolmaker after the war. He scored big with his debut single, ‘Gotta Travel On,’ the first of four top 40 hits in a recording career that continued for a decade.
Since they started making music together way back in 1947, the Oak Ridge Boys have topped the country charts more than 15 times, won four CMAs and a Grammy, and sold millions of records — but one honor has eluded them.
Until last week, that is, when the Oak Ridge Boys — or “the Oaks,” as former President George Bush referred to them in a tribute filmed specially for the occasion — were inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.
May 18, 2011 Congratulations to Vince Gill! Or should I say congratulations 'Dr. Gill!' That has a nice ring to it, huh?
The Go Rest High On That Mountain singer just received an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from Nashville's Belmont University. Yes!!
April 8, 2011 Trace Adkins is a bit nervous as he prepares to perform his new single - Just Fishin', live tonight (April 8th) for the first time in public. Adding to the pressure, Trace will perform the song on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, with some special guests in attendance.
March 2, 2011 Okay, it's time to get serious. As much as it pains me to call this man a "Legend;" (I can't believe we're both that old!) if anyone qualifies for the honor, it's George Strait.
George Harvey Strait, known as "The King of Country" was born in 1952. He had his first hit, Unwound, chart in 1981. That was also the year when Prince Charles and Lady Diana were married, MTV was launched, and Luke and Laura were married on the soap opera, General Hospital. (Trust me, it was big.)
