DESCRIPTION
Opry Gold is a toe-tappin’, roof raisin’ salute to the greatest tunes in the history of Country music.Entertaining folks since 1925, The Opry has been called, “The Show That Made Country Music Famous”.
To share the Opry’s history is to share the story of Country Music. Leisa Way and her phenomenally talented Wayward Wind Band have brought Canada many great shows, and this latest concert raises the roof with the hottest country songs from the last few decades.
Opry Gold is a vibrant celebration featuring a rich mixture of classic Grand Ole Opry masters and the next generation of breakthrough country artists! This show highlights all the amazing artists that have played the Opry stage over the years and tells the stories about their connections. Opry Gold clearly is a labour of love for show creator Leisa Way and her multi-talented band, Brant Garratt, Jack Gaughan, Al Braatz, Alex George, Don Reid and musical arranger Bruce Ley. The fiddle, banjo, drums, keyboard, guitars, bass, harmonica and even the washboard; these artists can play them all! And when they vocalize, the audience is treated to first class harmonies and solos. Opry Gold takes the audience on a journey back through time to the days, in 1925, when Nashville’s radio station WSM became the first all-country music station featuring early stars like Uncle Jimmy Thompson and Grandpa Jones and then featuring the sounds of Dolly, Conway & Loretta and Tammy & George right through to today’s stars like Shania Twain, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Darius Rucker, and Kenny Chesney. Leisa Way’s Opry Gold brings audiences some of the very best of classic and new wave country music and heapin’ helpin’ of good-natured fun!
Y’all better catch this show celebrating country legends and contemporary country artists who have been topping the charts for decades!
