The Grand Ole Opry is launching a series of “Opry 100 Honors” shows on May 13 as part of its ongoing Opry 100 celebration.

The shows will celebrate several icons who have played a key role in shaping the Opry’s first century. The series will kick off with a tribute to Loretta Lynn on May 13, followed by performances honoring Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash on June 18 and Charlie Daniels on July 8. More shows will be announced shortly.

The Loretta Lynn tribute show will include performances by Opry member Crystal Gayle (Lynn’s sister), granddaughter Emmy Russell, duo Twitty & Lynn (grandchildren of Lynn and Conway Twitty) and Opry members Martina McBride, Carly Pearce, Ashley McBryde and more.

The Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash show will feature performances by John Carter Cash and Ana Cristina Cash, The Tennessee Four (including Johnny Cash’s grandson Thomas Gabriel on vocals), Opry members The Gatlin Brothers, Lainey Wilson and more.

The Charlie Daniels show will honor his legacy with performances by Opry members Trace Adkins, Jamey Johnson, Chris Young, Gretchen Wilson and more.

“As we continue our Opry 100 celebration, we’re excited to open the door to the Opry’s next century and to laud each of the Opry’s current members,” says Dan Rogers, Opry executive producer. “It’s also important to us to honor some of the iconic artists of the past who helped the Opry achieve worldwide acclaim and ensured the show’s longevity. We’re looking forward to this series featuring the music of artists who became household names and whose legacies the Opry will still be celebrating in another 100 years.”

A portion of ticket sales will go to the Opry Trust Fund, which has been assisting country music professionals in need for more than 60 years. The fund helps cover medical expenses, emergencies and other challenges faced by those in the industry. Starting today, $5 from each ticket sold for “Opry 100 Honors” will be donated directly to the fund. Tickets are available here.
