The tradition of the Grand Ole Opry will continue on the airwaves of WSM Radio as it has since 1925. Throughout our history, various events have led Opry management to make difficult decisions about how to alter the show\u2019s format and schedule. Amid recent COVID-19 concerns, the Grand Ole Opry, the world\u2019s longest-running radio show, will return to its original format as a live radio broadcast on Saturday nights only without a live audience. Fans around the world can still tune in to the Saturday night broadcasts as scheduled on 650 AM WSM, WSMonline.com<\/a>, and the WSM mobile app.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
WSM and the Opry\u2019s first priority has always been the safety of our employees, guests and artists who have been key in keeping the show that made country music famous on the air every week for over 94 years, and we look forward to keeping that tradition alive.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you were planning to join us live in the Opry audience for a show between now and April 4, 2020, please check your email or contact the Grand Ole Opry Customer Service at opry.com\/contact\/<\/a> for rebooking information.<\/div>\n

May the Circle Be Unbroken,<\/div>\n

\"Jeannie <\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
NASHVILLE, Tenn.<\/strong> – Multi-award-winning bluegrass artist Rhonda Vincent<\/strong> was surprised on stage at the Grand Ole Opry tonight by Opry member Jeannie Seely with an invitation to become an official Opry member. Vincent had just performed her 2019 bluegrass chart-topper \u201cLike I Could,\u201d a tune co-written by Seely. She will be officially inducted into the Opry family March 24.<\/p>\n

A truly flabbergasted Vincent reacted to the Opry invitation by twice asking Seely if she was serious. She then replied, \u201c100% percent yes. Oh my gosh! I grew up listening to the Opry. Thank you dear God!\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the invitation, Seely welcomed on stage several of the Opry\u2019s women of country, including Sharon and Cheryl White, Connie Smith and soon-to-be inducted Opry member Vincent to perform \u201cThose Memories\u201d center stage in the Opry\u2019s circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout her award-winning career, Rhonda has always made time to visit us at the Opry,\u201d said Opry Vice President and Executive Producer Dan Rogers. \u201cShe is a force of nature on stage, and a friend to fellow artists and fans alike behind the scenes. Her songs have a home among the many styles of music we celebrate at the Opry for the rest of her career.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Rhonda Vincent:<\/strong><\/u>
\nBluegrass award-winner Rhonda Vincent began her professional music career at the age of five, playing drums with her family’s band, the Sally Mountain Show. She picked up the mandolin at eight and the fiddle at ten, performing with the family band at festivals on weekends. Rhonda struck out on her own, singing with the Grand Ole Opry’s Jim Ed Brown. Her opportunity eventually led to a deal with Rebel Records. Her work caught the attention of Giant Nashville’s president, James Stroud, who signed Vincent to record two contemporary country albums. After Giant, she signed with Rounder Records where her passion for traditional bluegrass music flourished. She made her label debut in 2000 with \u201cBack Home Again\u2019 recorded with her band, \u201cThe Rage.\u201d She showcases her hard-driving, high-energy contemporary bluegrass on \u201cThe Storm Rage\u201d in 2001, \u201cOne Step Ahead\u201d in 2003, \u201cRagin\u2019 Live\u201d in 2005, \u201cAll American Bluegrass Girl\u201d in 2006, and \u201cGood Thing Going\u201d in 2008. In 2000, Vincent won her first in a string of seven Female Vocalist of the Year Awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association. In 2001, she won the Entertainer of the Year Award. In 2011, Vincent released a collaboration album with Gene Watson titled Your Money and My Good Looks.<\/em><\/p>\n
