The Grand Ole Opry and Southwest Airlines have teamed to bring a second annual series of free acoustic shows to Southwest Porch at Bryant Park in New York City. The Swon Brothers will perform Sept. 29, followed by Dustin Lynch (Oct. 1), and Kristian Bush of Sugarland (Oct. 2). The series will be part of the Opry’s 89th birthday celebration; the official 89th Birthday Bash will take place Oct. 10-11 in Nashville.
As part of the Nashville-to-New York experience, the artists will travel to Manhattan with the Opry’s signature microphone stand and a replica of the famed circle of wood from the Opry House’s center stage.
“All of these artists have been with us at the Opry recently to showcase their new music, so we know our friends in New York are in for some great performances,” said Pete Fisher, Opry vice president and general manager. “It’ll be great to extend our birthday party and Country Music Month beyond Music City to New York City.”
