grand ole opry

Florida Georgia Line brought "Dirt" to the Grand Ole Opry for the first time earlier this year, and the moment was one you had to be there to witness. Fortunately, even if you weren't in the crowd, you can take it in during this Taste of Country exclusive premiere.

I was lucky enough to broadcast my show live from the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday.  It was a very special night as the Opry paid tribute to our US Military welcoming them to the show and treating them as the celebrities they are.  They were welcomed by Opry stars like Craig Morgan, Kellie Pickler, Trace Adkins, Larry Gatlin, and Lee Greenwood, and Melissa and Travis covered the festivities.

One of the Tri-state's favorite games is back on WKDQ!  It's Secret Sound, the game where you simply guess the sound you're hearing, and you win, but it's more difficult than you might think!

Friday was WKDQ Night at the Grand Ole Opry, and from the Gatlin Brothers to Jimmy Wayne, the artist ran the entire history of Country Music.  One of the stars on the newer end of country is Lauren Alaina.  Here's my chat with Lauren from backstage at the Opry!

The Grand Ole Opry is the show that made country music famous and coming soon we're giving our listeners the chance to experience the Opry for a special discount as Jon Prell hosts a portion of the show.

Tuesday, I got to broadcast my show at the Grand Ole Opry.  While backstage, watching acts like Rascal Flatts and Charlie Daniels Band do their thing, I was in awe of these major stars and Opry members.  The great thing about the Opry, is that it mixes talent from the past and present with the acts of the future.  Enter Old Dominion.

I've heard a lot about Chris Janson on social media over the last year or so, but all I really knew about him was that he co-wrote "Truck Yeah" for Tim McGraw with my good buddies from The LoCash Cowboys.  Friday night at the Opry, I interviewed him and watched him perform two songs.  Now, I'm a BIG fan.  Not just of the performer, but of the person!

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is certainly filling up your news feed these days.  It seems as if almost every celebrity has been challenged at this point, but I was able to go behind the scenes of one challenge last Friday at the Grand Ole Opry as not only the staff, but that night's performers, Sam Bush, Connie Smith, and Chris Jason all took the challenge.

Opry member, Terri Clark was on the stage that made country music famous on Tuesday night to play big hits like "Girls Lie Too" and "Better Things To Do."  After she played we sat down to talk about her venture into radio, plus her new spin on "Bro Country."  What does she call the new kind?  Watch now and see.
