As part of its ongoing Opry 100 celebration, the Grand Ole Opry, presented by Humana, is set to launch “Opry 100 Honors” on May 13. The special series of Opry 100 Honors shows, sponsored by Dan Post, will pay tribute to several of the icons who have helped shape the Opry’s first century. The first show will honor Loretta Lynn (May 13), followed by shows paying tribute to Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash (June 18) and Charlie Daniels (July 8). Additional shows will be announced soon.
“As we continue our OPRY 100 celebration, we’re excited to open the door to the Opry’s next century and to laud each of the Opry’s current members. It’s also important to us to honor some of the iconic artists of the past who helped the Opry achieve worldwide acclaim and ensured the show’s longevity. We’re looking forward to this series featuring the music of artists who became household names and whose legacies the Opry will still be celebrating in another 100 years,” said Dan Rogers, Opry executive producer.
