Benny G made his Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday (April 18).

“When I was six years old, I wrote an essay about how music is magic. Music has been the north star in my life ever since I was a kid and picked up the guitar for the first time,” he shared with the audience. “Being asked by Mr. Vince Gill, who’s one of my heroes, to play the Grand Ole Opry and now standing here is the most full-circle moment of my life.”

In addition to his own set, he joined Gill to perform “Whenever You Come Around.”
