Opry, Southwest Airlines Resume ‘Circle In The City’ In New York

The Grand Ole Opry and Southwest Airlines in partnership with Warner Music Nashville are returning to New York City for two free acoustic performances at the Southwest Porch at Bryant Park.

The Circle in the City fall series is set to feature two acts who have become Opry fan favorites, William Michael Morgan on Oct. 3 and RaeLynn on Oct. 4, with both shows at 6 p.m.

Morgan and RaeLynn 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 famed circle of wood from center stage at the Opry House, a la an “Opry Circle Throwdown.” Fans can watch each of the shows live on the Opry’s Facebook page.

NASH-FM 94.7 will host each event and will offer VIP seating to listener winners. Additional seating is open to the public and will be based on a first-come first-served basis. Other guests will be invited to be a part of each performance in the park outside the perimeter of the Southwest Porch.

Morgan will return to Nashville to perform on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium on Oct. 6 for Opry Country Classics. He will celebrate the release of his debut album Vinyl on Oct. 30.
