Joel Crouse celebrated the release of his album Even The River Runs with a Tuesday night (Aug. 19) performance at the Grand Ole Opry. He performed “Don’t Tell Me” and “Summer Love,” and also signed autographs for attendees before the show. For fans who couldn’t make it to the Opry, Crouse offered a YouTube chat from his backstage dressing room.
Among the performers at the Opry that evening were Carrie Underwood, Craig Morgan and Sam Hunt.
During his performance, Morgan, the national celebrity spokesperson for The Spirit of Blue Foundation, recognized law enforcement officers in the audience. Members of the Franklin, Tennessee Police Department took the Opry stage to accept a safety equipment grant from Morgan and the Spirit of Blue Board of Directors that will be used purchase 17 new helmets for their SWAT team.
