• Erin Enderlin made her Grand Ole Opry debut on Friday night (Sept. 6). Erin’s two-song set included “Finding My Voice” and the title track of her new album I Let Her Talk. “I can’t believe I made it through without crying,” Erin said mid-performance. “This has been my dream since I was a little girl — to stand up on this stage where so many of my heroes have played. I’m just so proud and humbled to be here tonight.” Erin’s Opry performance was dedicated to her late grandfather H.D. Clinton, who, along with her grandmother Wanda Clinton, raised Erin on music played on the Opry stage. A Kickstarter campaign to fund Erin’s music video for “I Let Her Talk” runs through October 6.
