What do Carrie Underwood, Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley, and Darryl Worley have in common? Not only are they mega-stars, but they are all scheduled to grace the stage of the Grand Ole Opry this season. The Opry has a killer lineup this year, and country music fans who can definitely should make it a priority to get over to Nashville to catch a show.
Tuesday Night Opry is back in session, and several notable performers will be appearing, including Charlie Daniels, Diamond Rio, and Craig Morgan. The Opry also recently kicked off a new Thursday night series called Opry Country Classics, which showcases some of the most groundbreaking country music that paved the way for country artists and made the genre as well-loved and appreciated as it is today.
Since its start as a radio show in 1925, the Grand Ole Opry - originally known as WSM Barn Dance - has been a major launching off point for country music performers, giving birth to many of today’s brightest stars. Many performers feel that they owe their start in the business to the Opry, and in a lot of ways they are right. The platform that the venue provides for artists is unparalleled and the exposure they are given is hard to duplicate anywhere else. Many a life has been transformed by experiences on the famous stage, and I suspect that this will continue far into the future.
To secure tickets to the show of your choice, it is imperative that you book early. The Opry is a big seller among locals and visitors to Nashville, and the window of opportunity for getting tickets is pretty narrow. Regardless of when you decide to visit, it is sure to be an evening to remember. One of the best ways to secure tickets is through http://www.nashvillesightseeing.com or http://viptickets.us.
