Kentucky six-piece band Ole 60 made their Grand Ole Opry debut this weekend, exactly 365 days after making their debut as a band to a crowd of 100 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The band thrilled the Opry crowd with performances of “Thoughts of You” from their November-released second EP, Songs About You, and the song that ignited the band’s rapid rise, “Smoke & A Light,” from their debut EP, Three Twenty Four.

“We’re Ole 60 from Hawesville, Kentucky. This weekend marks one-year since our first weekend out on the road, and if you’d have told us back then we’d be making our Opry debut a year later, we’d have called you crazy,” lead singer Jacob Ty Young shared from the stage. “We see a lot of familiar faces out in the crowd tonight, we can’t thank y’all enough for coming out and watching us. It’s pretty cool to see, I think our whole hometown’s here. Thank y’all so much.”

Ole 60 will embark on their nearly sold-out spring headline “Outta My Way Tour” this weekend in Boston (Jan. 30), New York (Jan. 31) and Raleigh (Feb. 1). See full dates here.
