Republic Nashville newcomer Greg Bates made his Grand Ole Opry debut recently (4/27), where he played single “Did It For The Girl,” and “Brothers.”

“I have always dreamed of playing The Opry. Just to stand in that famous circle where so many legends before me have performed was an absolutely amazing experience,” said Bates. “Thank you, Pete [Fisher] for the incredible opportunity.”

Last Thursday (5/3), Bates was invited to play a full band show, hosted by WYCD, at Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill in Auburn Hills, MI.

“Did It For The Girl” recently secured the second most added slot and is now available on iTunes and can be purchased here. Currently, he is in the studio with producer Jimmy Ritchey recording material for his debut album.
