The Jack Wharff Band Makes Grand Ole Opry Debut

The Jack Wharff Band made their Grand Ole Opry debut on Tuesday night (Feb. 10).

“I’m trying to think of what a man can even say when he’s standing in the fulfillment of a vision he’s had since he was 13 years old,” Wharff shared from the stage. “From the bottom of my heart, to everybody at the Opry, everybody who came out to see us tonight, and everybody up here on this stage – thank you.”

The performance followed a surprise invitation from Ole Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor who broke the invitation news to the four-piece in December. The band opened their set with the high-energy “Burnin’ It Down” before performing their breakout track, “Washed.”

The band is currently rounding out the U.S. leg of their headlining “From The Hills To The Holler Tour” before they travel to Europe in March. Their sophomore EP Strange is slated for release March 13.
