Southall made their Grand Ole Opry debut last Wednesday (June 25), taking part in this year’s historic Opry 100 celebration.
The band performed “Scared Money” and “Why” to the packed house in the milestone career moment for the band. “Can’t tell you what it means to be able to do this,” shared frontman Read Southall from the circle. “We’re just glad to be a part of this, and glad to be here tonight. Thank y’all for listening to our racket a little bit.”
The group celebrated a career milestone backstage as well, receiving their first-ever Platinum plaque for their hit, “Why.” The Red Dirt rockers followed that up with a show for fans at Chief’s on Broadway the following night as well in Nashville.

Boasting nearly 700 million career streams, Southall has spent the last decade building a rabid grassroots following and winning over crowds while headlining their own dates across the country and opening for Jamey Johnson, Chase Rice and Blackberry Smoke. Next up on their run is support slots with Whiskey Myers, Ole 60 and ZZ Top.
