What a special night Saturday turned out to be … Not only did we get great seats at the last minute but the performers and cast were out of this world!! The evening consisted of 4 half hour live broadcast shows with different hosts, sponsors, and acts. The hosts were: Jimmy Dickens, Jim Ed Brown, Riders In The Sky, and Jeannie Seely. The headliners were: Josh Turner, The Rocky Top X-Press, Trace Adkins, and Keith Urban. Keith Urban was nominated by Vince Gill and was inducted as the newest member of the Opry Family.

What began as a simple radio broadcast in 1925 is today a live-entertainment phenomenon. Dedicated to honoring country music’s rich history and dynamic present, the Grand Ole Opry showcases a mix of country legends and the contemporary chart-toppers who have followed in their footsteps.
The Opry, an American icon and Nashville, Tennessee’s number-one attraction, is world-famous for creating one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences for audiences of all ages. The six-foot circle of dark, oak wood in the Opry House stage is shiny but clearly well worn. Cut from the stage of the Opry’s famous former home, the Ryman Auditorium, this circle gives newcomers and veterans alike the opportunity to sing on the same spot that once supported Uncle Dave Macon, Ernest Tubb, Patsy Cline, and others.
