Six Reasons Opry Country Classics is a Must-See this Year

Every year, the Grand Ole Opry features our concert series, Opry Country Classics, which gives us (and you) another reason to celebrate the music that makes us who we are today. With a celebrity host and an all-star lineup of artists performing our favorite country classics, we get a chance to experience the songs live on a stage as iconic as the artists who created them. 

SPEND THE EVENING WITH LARRY GATLIN

Our celebrity host is legendary country and southern gospel singer, and member of The Gatlin Brothers, Larry Gatlin. He and his brothers are celebrating over 47 years as members of the Grand Ole Opry thanks to their incredible talent, commitment to country music, and undeniable charm. Larry knows how to bring the entertainment and keep Opry crowds going!

These are the artists who will treat your favorite songs right and truly understand the meaning of a classic. 

HEAR THE SONGS THAT MADE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH COUNTRY MUSIC

These are our kind of classics – the country songs we still put on when we do the dishes, or when we want to take a drive and roll the windows down. Our talented artists perform timeless favorites like “Crazy,” “I Will Always Love You,” “Hello Darlin’,” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” And this is the best way to hear them – live from the Opry stage and inside the wooden Circle.

ENJOY TRUE COUNTRY, IN ITS TRUE HOME

A milestone for artists and audiences, the Opry stage is the best place to experience country music. After over 98 years of live performances by artists that have shaped and defined the genre, the Grand Ole Opry is proud to be the true home of country music.

The best storytellers in the world often become country music stars for a reason. The genre is chock-full of stories of love and loss, sunshine and sorrow, misbehaving and honky-tonkin’. These musicians will walk you through their best and worst times. And our host will share stories that you’ll want to remember forever.
