Brad Paisley, Vince Gill and Marty Stuart will perform together on Saturday night’s (March 21) Grand Ole Opry, offering an acoustic set on the Opry stage—with no in-house audience—as the Opry hosts its 4,916th consecutive Saturday night broadcast.
The Circle network will broadcast the show live on-air in their local markets for the first time since debuting Opry, a new weekly, live-recorded, one-hour TV program earlier this year. Opry fans can also stream it online at Circle All Access on Facebook or at Circle All Access on YouTube starting at 7 p.m. CT / 8 p.m. ET.
Last week, amid the concerns of the COVID-19 virus, the Opry paused all shows with a live audience through April 4 but vowed to continue its nearly-100-year radio broadcast history. Nearly half a million fans last Saturday were able to video stream or listen to Opry members Bill Anderson, Jeannie Seely, Connie Smith, Sam Williams and others perform acoustically from the Opry Circle. With today’s technology, the Opry can now be broadcast and streamed with a very small production team of people and very limited number of artists performing acoustically on the Opry stage.
