The Grand Ole Opry will return for the kick-off night of CRS 2014 on Feb. 19, 2014 at the Nashville Convention Center.
The star-studded lineup includes Opry members Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts and Old Crow Medicine Show, along with Thompson Square, Love & Theft, Brandy Clark, Will Hoge, and Eric Paslay. The event will begin at 7 p.m., immediately following the annual CRS Opening Night Welcome Reception. All CRS attendees can attend, with both seating and standing room available. The Grand Ole Opry at CRS is sponsored by My Well-Being Powered by Humana and the performances are Powered by Live Nation.
“We were thrilled to introduce the Opry to CRS last year,” said Opry Vice-President and General Manager Pete Fisher. “The show was a home run, and we’re looking forward to making history again at CRS 2014.”
The Opry, radio’s longest-running program, has 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 theaters such as New York City’s Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
CRS 2014 will be held February 19-21 at the Nashville Convention Center. To register for CRS visit countryradioseminar.com.
