RCA Nashville’s Niko Moon has been selected as the Opry NextStage featured artist for September.

Developed by Opry Entertainment Group and the Grand Ole Opry, Opry NextStage invests in the discovery and development of new artists and highlights one up-and-coming artist per month. Moon joins the Class of 2021 artists Hailey Whitters, Parker McCollum and Lainey Wilson.

“What an honor to be the new Opry NextStage Artist! To be brought one step closer into the Opry family and have my music showcased by a place that I hold so dear is nothing short of mind blowing,” said Moon. “When I play the Opry, I know I’m standing on the shoulders of giants and all the legendary country artists who’ve come before me that have stood in that circle. There’s no other place like it.”

After his Labor Day weekend performance at the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday, Sept. 4, over the Labor Day holiday weekend, Moon also recently released his debut album Good Time. He is currently on the road with Lady A for the trio’s “What A Song Can Do” Tour.
