Travis Bolt made his Grand Ole Opry debut on Friday (May 29).

“After a decade full of 2 a.m. honkytonk shows and bar room stages, I sure didn’t know what to expect stepping into that circle,” Bolt says. “It was a surreal and humbling experience! Who would’ve thought a Phalba, Texas boy would be standing where legends once stood getting to sing the songs I’ve written about my life.”

Introduced by Charlie Mattos, Bolt performed two songs including his latest single “Never Tried Cocaine,” which is out now featuring Struggle Jennings.

“It’s been incredibly rewarding to watch Travis’s star continue to rise over the past year,” shares Anthony Martini, manager/co-founder of Gravel Road Records. “He’s overcome both personal and professional challenges throughout his journey, so seeing an institution as revered as the Grand Ole Opry embrace him is a testament to his authenticity, talent, and dedication as both a songwriter and performer. To have graced the stages of The Ryman, the Grand Ole Opry, and CMA Fest in little more than a year is an extraordinary accomplishment for any emerging artist. The most exciting part is that Travis is only beginning to scratch the surface of what’s ahead.”

Bolt will take the Dr. Pepper AMP Stage at CMA Fest on Thursday.
