Kelsea Ballerini Added To Grand Ole Opry Carnegie Hall Show
Opry member Kelsea Ballerini has been added to the all-star lineup for “An Evening with the Grand Ole Opry” on March 20 at Carnegie Hall.
The one-night-only event is part of Carnegie Hall’s United in Sound: America at 250 festival, which celebrates the nation’s 250th anniversary and marks the continuation of the Opry’s 100th year with unforgettable performances. This special performance also features Opry members Scotty McCreery, Rhonda Vincent and Henry Cho, and special guests Wyatt Flores and The War and Treaty.
The show will mark the Opry’s fourth headlining performance at Carnegie Hall. The Opry made its Carnegie Hall debut in 1947 under the billing “Ernest Tubb and the Grand Ole Opry Stars” with a sold-out performance also featuring the “King of Country Music” Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, Minnie Pearl, Red Foley, Eddy Arnold, and The Carter Sisters with Mother Maybelle Carter.
A return performance in 1961 benefited the Musician’s Aid Society and was headlined by superstar Patsy Cline in her first and only Carnegie Hall appearance among other all-stars. The Grand Ole Opry’s 2005 performance, marking its 80th anniversary, showcased Trace Adkins, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, Ricky Skaggs, Trisha Yearwood along with longtime Opry members Charley Pride, Little Jimmy Dickens, and Bill Anderson.
Tickets for the March 20 show are available here.
