Singer-songwriter Abbey Cone made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday night (Aug. 4).

Joined by friends and collaborators Brittney Spencer, Madison Kozak and Heather Morgan, Cone performed her latest single, “Talk of the Town (Acoustic),” on the hallowed stage. She also received a standing ovation from the crowd after she offered the first-ever live performance of her unreleased song “Timeless.”

The indie artist grew up playing Texas’ Grapevine Opry and was invited to make her debut in June by her mentor Vince Gill, who surprised her with the invitation onstage at the Grand Ole Opry after he performed the song they co-wrote together,”Leaving Home,” for the first time.
