John King made his Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday and was welcomed onto the stage by Opry member Steve Wariner.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Steve Wariner to introduce me,” stated John following the debut. “He is an amazing singer, player, and an equally awesome person. I was humbled to share the stage with him. My Grand Ole Opry debut will forever be one of my happiest memories.”
Now in the Top 40 and climbing, John wrapped his debut set with his current radio single “Tonight Tonight.” Written by Marshall Altman, Dylan Altman and Andy Cortes, “Tonight Tonight” was produced by Doug Johnson and Altman.
