I find it very hard to believe that Opry member Pam Tillis has not made an appearance at the Opry thus far in 2022. Since she joined the Opry in 2000, she usually has been counted on to make 10 or so appearances each year. But so far this year, zero. It's not like she isn't doing anything as she has been out on tour, making numerous appearances and has been active while in Nashville.
That will change on Tuesday night as Pam is on the schedule for the mid-week show. Opry members John Conlee and Riders In The Sky will be joining her, along with the wonderful Sierra Hull. And as is the case with pretty much every Opry show, there will be a debut as Mike & The Moonpies will be making their first Opry appearances.
Tuesday September 6
7:00: Riders In The Sky, Ray Fulcher, Sierra Hull, Mike & The Moonpies
Intermission
8:15: John Conlee, Chris Shiflett, John Crist, Pam Tillis
If I was in Nashville on Thursday night, I would definitely be checking out Opry Country Classics. A couple of artists who don't make it to Nashville often, Moe Bandy and Janie Fricke are on the schedule, along with Sawyer Brown and Mandy Barnett. I didn't see who the spotlight artist is, but it could easily be Moe, Janie or Sawyer Brown as all have had substantial careers with a number of hits.
Thursday September 7
Larry Gatlin
The Gatlin Brothers
Moe Bandy
Janie Fricke
Sawyer Brown
Mandy Barnett
Enjoy these shows.
