Brad Paisley, Vince Gill to Help Celebrate Opry's Birthday

Vince Gill and Brad Paisley are among the artists who will perform in Nashville on Tuesday, May 25, to celebrate the 85th birthday of the Grand Ole Opry.
 
The Country Music stars, along with Ricky Skaggs and Steve Wariner, will perform an all-star guitar jam to officially launch the months-long celebration for the Opry. The four musicians, each known as a million-selling recording artist, together have earned more than 75 Country Music Association and Grammy Awards.
 
During the Tuesday Night Opry, each of the four artists will individually take the stage and then end the night with all four performing a guitar jam, which will feature the group’s twist on some of the popular songs that have come throughout the 85 years of Opry history.
 
In addition to the kick-off show, the 85th birthday celebration will feature Opry performances four days a week this summer (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).  Those featured include Lady Antebellum, Oak Ridge Boys, Charley Pride, Josh Turner and more.
 
Additionally, two new 20-foot, 3,000-pound steel and aluminum Opry 85th guitars will be unveiled outside the Grand Ole Opry House, officially welcoming visitors to the Opry party. Both fans and superstars will be invited to sign other oversized guitars on display throughout the landmark birthday year, and larger than life Opry 85th décor featuring Opry members including Trace Adkins, Charlie Daniels, Loretta Lynn, and others will cover much of the front façade of the Grand Ole Opry House.
 
A schedule of events, Opry sweepstakes and other prizes will be updated throughout the celebration at www.opry.com/85.
