Opry, Southwest Airlines, BBR Music Group Align For Concert Series

The Grand Ole Opry and Southwest Airlines, in partnership with BBR Music Group, will host a three-week series of free acoustic performances in New York City this summer.

The Circle in the City series will feature Parmalee on Tuesday (July 26), Lindsay Ell on Aug. 2, and Thompson Square on Aug. 9. All shows will begin at 8:30 p.m.

Each of the artists will travel to Manhattan with the Opry’s signature microphone stand and will continue the 90th anniversary year tradition of throwing down a replica of the circle of wood from center stage at the Opry House. Fans can watch each of the shows live on the Opry’s Facebook page.

New York’s NASH FM 94.7 will host the Bryant Park concerts. Each performance is open to the public, and seating will be based on a first-come first-served basis.

Ell and Thompson Square are set to follow their Tuesday night New York City performances with Wednesday night appearances at the Grand Ole Opry.
