A special edition of country music’s most famous radio show, the Grand Ole Opry, will kick-off CRS 2013 on Wednesday, February 27, 2013. The event will be held at 7 pm inside the Performance Hall at the Nashville Convention Center.
Grand Ole Opry members Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and Vince Gill are scheduled to perform along with Dustin Lynch and Scotty McCreery. The lineup will be completed in the coming weeks. The show will take place immediately following the annual CRS Artist/Attendee Welcome Reception and is open to all CRS attendees.
The Opry, radio’s longest-running program, has only rarely staged shows outside its regular program schedule and its permanent home (the Grand Ole Opry House) or its winter residence (Ryman Auditorium). Past Opry performances played outside the show’s home venues include performances staged at prestigious theaters such as New York City’s Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
“Every week, the Grand Ole Opry showcases an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind mix of country music’s new stars, superstars, and legends for country music fans from around the world. We’re excited to deliver a special show featuring some of radio’s biggest current hit-makers who are also some of the most popular artists who visit our stage for all our friends in country radio when CRS returns to town next month,” said Opry Vice President and General Manager Pete Fisher.
The show is sponsored by Humana’s My Well-Being.
Bill Mayne, CRS Executive Director, notes “This marks the first time in the history of the seminar, which is over 40 years, that we welcome the Grand Ole Opry to our stage. It has been a long time coming, but will be well worth the wait,” adding, “My thanks to Pete Fisher and the Opry staff for allowing me to present this show on the opening night of CRS 2013, as both events are such a great fit for each other.”
CRS 2013 will be held Feb. 27 – Mar. 1 at the Nashville Convention Center. Register for the event at www.CountryRadioSeminar.com.
