TG Sheppard & T. Graham Brown

“tnt” a dynamite show".

Twitty & Lynn

There’s a moment right at the very beginning of any Twitty & Lynn show that affords country music fans the chance to look back in time. Just after the band has played the signature intro to “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man,” Tre Twitty and Tayla Lynn shoot each other a glance that summons the electrifying chemistry of their grandparents: Tre is the grandson of Conway Twitty, Tayla is the granddaughter of Loretta Lynn.

Audiences can’t believe their eyes. From that moment, for the next 90 minutes, they’re in the presence of living country music history.

“Fans have told Tayla and me that when they see us onstage singing, talking, and just looking at each other, they think, ‘Wow, there must be something genetic in those two families,’” Tre says. “It validates the experience of the concert for them. We’re telling our grandparents’ story through our story.”

But Twitty & Lynn — and their internationally popular show “A Salute to Conway & Loretta” — aren’t impersonators. Tre doesn’t groom Seventies sideburns and perm his hair; Tayla doesn’t mimic her grandmother’s mannerisms. Rather, they are onstage celebrating country music, the lost art of duet singing, and the two beloved icons they refer to as “Poppy” and “Memaw.”

“I think of us as the ambassadors of the Twitty and Lynn names — we’re just the new version of what they’ve already established,” Tre says. “But we also want to be caretakers of the past. At our shows, we get generations of fans because country music is passed down.”

“It’s about family — the fans’ families and our own,” Tayla says. “We have so much love and respect for Conway and Loretta and we want to carry this on in such a way that we make our families proud.”

Confederate Railroad

Confederate Railroad first rolled onto the national country music scene in the early 90s with its unique style and sound.

Headed by founder and frontman Danny Shirley, the former backup band for both David Allan Coe and Johnny Paycheck got their big break by signing with Atlantic Records. The first single from their debut album ("Confederate Railroad") was "She Took It Like A Man". It went to No. 26, a preview of what was to come. "The next two singles, "Jesus and Mama" and "Queen of Memphis" went to the top of the charts. Three more huge hits followed, "Trashy Women", "When You Leave That Way You Can Never Go Back", and "She Never Cried". "Trashy" would lead to a Grammy nomination and become their signature song. That album with six hits and nearly three million sales brought Confederate the Academy of Country Music's Best New Group Award in 1993 as well as numerous nominations from the Country Music Association and the British Country Music Foundation.

The second album, "Notorious", produced one of the group's most popular songs "Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind" which became a No. One video as well. "Elvis and Andy" and "Summer in Dixie" would further establish the Railroad as one of the most versatile acts in the business. This album would sell more than one million. Their overal totals are 18 charted hits and five million albums sold.

From rowdy country to raw emotion, a Confederate Railroad concert today covers a wide range of feelings. Young people will be there rocking to "Trashy Women", while their parents and even grandparents will likely be singing along to "Jesus and Mama". The band plays 100 or so dates each year. Whatever the venue, they are right at home…be it a fair, a club, or a biker show. Shirley, the lead singer and vocalist, and his mates, Mark Dufresne on drums, Mo Thaxton on bass and vocals, Rusty Hendrix on lead guitar and Joey Recker on keyboards and vocals are obviously having fun right along with their appreciative audience. At the end of each show, the band stays around until every fan who wants an autograph, or to pose with the group for a picture or just say "hello" is taken care of.

Dailey & Vincent

The Bellamy Brothers

THE BELLAMY BROTHERS: THE LOVE STILL FLOWS…

Howard and David continue to prove that the trail they’ve ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself—music that is now celebrating over 40 years of success.

The road that started on the pop music charts in the ‘70’s, took a winding turn into country music in the ‘80’s, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich and previously—The Judds. But before the road forked into country, the musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the ’70’s pop music culture of L.A.

The brothers first official gig was in 1968, playing a free show with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida. They honed their early skills playing Black clubs throughout the south, and singing backup for artists such as Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd and Little Anthony & The Imperials. Within a few months, the brothers moved north, immersing themselves and their rock/country sound in the Atlanta market, where the Allman Brothers were the emerging kings of the music world.

With the dawning of the Age of Aquarius on the horizon, and America embroiled in a smoke haze of drugs, civil unrest and an unpopular war, The Bellamy's music picked-up the hard driving edge that bespoke the times. Songwriting had become David Bellamy’s drug of choice during the long road gigs he and Howard were regularly pulling bodies and equipment to and from. It was his songwriting that was posed to soon provide the duo a national breakout.

The break came in the form of the hit, “Spiders & Snakes,” written by David and recorded by Jim Stafford. The song became a smash, eventually selling more than three million units worldwide. It became the catapult that rocketed the brothers onto the L.A. music scene. Young and impressionable, Howard and David fell into the musical circle of the greats of the day: Bob Dylan, James Taylor and Van Morrison, as well as West Coast based country rockers like Poco and the Byrds.

It was a creative shoe that fit.

The Van-Dell's Final Tour

The Malpass Brothers

It was a transformative moment when two young brothers discovered their grandfather Malpass’ LPs collection. Drawn like a moth to a flame, the classic-filled treasure trove from the golden era of traditional country music gathered little dust in the Malpass household. Chris and Taylor studied the brother-harmony bluegrass duos of Jim & Jesse, the Louvin and Wilburn Brothers and bathed in the sounds of Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Charlie Pride, Merle Haggard. It was musical Manna to the boys—there was nothing in the marketplace that fed The Malpass Brothers’ soul more than the music of this bygone era--and they would stay true to it.

Best known as modern-day troubadours who carry the torch for traditional country music, The Malpass Brothers began singing and playing together professionally at a very young age. Alongside their dad, Chris Malpass Sr., the siblings performed at churches all over the southeast, but they continued to hone their traditional sound by working alongside and amongst the legends.

While Taylor finished high school, Chris began honing his songwriting skills, and working with steel guitar legend, Don Helms—an original member of the Drifting Cowboys. A few years later, he found himself on Merle Haggard’s bus, singing and performing for Merle on his 000 Martin guitar. Taylor, in the meantime, played lead guitar in a local band, and upon graduation, flew out to Redding, CA to join his brother as the opening act for Merle Haggard for the next seven years.

In 2011, Haggard produced The Malpass Brothers’ debut album, Memory That Bad on Hag Records. The title track hit number 6 on the CMT Pure Country 12-Pack Countdown and remained in the charts for several weeks. In 2015, Bluegrass Hall of Fame inductee, Doyle Lawson picked up the gauntlet and produced their sophomore, self-titled album on Organic Records, and in 2017, The Malpass Brothers released a live album, Live at the Paramount, which captures the energy and excitement of their highly polished, traditional country music show.

However, their latest album, Lonely Street (released May 12, 2023), also produced by Lawson alongside Ben Isaacs (of the multi-Dove Award-winning/Grammy nominated group The Isaacs), may be their strongest project to date. Notably engineered by the late Grammy Award-winning Mark Capps under the oversight of Executive Producer and longstanding Malpass manager, Dan Mann, this 12-song album teems with brand new, traditional country music that sounds as if it were curated from a 50s/60s/70s smoke-filled, classic country jukebox. Chris Malpass wrote the majority of the songs, including co-writes by Dickey Lee, Shawn Camp, Conrad Fisher and Taylor Dunn. The album also includes cover nods like “Love Slips Away” by Merle Haggard and Jeannie Seely’s “We Don’t.”

The Everly Brothers featuring the Zmed brothers

THE EVERLY BROTHERS EXPERIENCE FEATURING THE ZMED BROTHERS The Everly Brothers' career lasted over half a century, they recorded 21 studio albums, sold more than 60 million records worldwide, had over 30 billboard top -100 singles, which still to this day is the record for most billboard charting hits of any sibling rock duo ever. They received numerous accolades in their later career, and influenced countless legendary artists of the 60's and 70's that came after them including: The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Bee Gees, Crosby Stills and Nash..and the list goes on. Since 2016, THE ZMED BROTHERS (Zach and Dylan) and Burleigh Drummond Jr. (their business partner/ drummer), have celebrated the pivotal music and history of The Everly Brothers with enthusiastic crowds all across the North America, at sea, and across the pond in numerous prestigious venues. The Zmed Brothers say, " The music of the 50's and 60's is nostalgic for us, our parents raised us all on it, and we feel that Don and Phil's contribution to Rock n Roll is greatly overlooked, especially by our generation. We are NOT impersonators. Our aim since we started the project is to do our best at honoring their brotherly legacy through our own spirits by representing the aesthetics of their iconic sound and by exploring the important role they played in pioneering the rock n' roll movement, all while having a little fun sharing our own personal story," and they do just that. With a father, (Adrian Zmed) as a traveling singer/dancer/actor (Grease 2, Bachelor Party, T.J. Hooker), and a mother (Barbara) as a second grade teacher in a suburb of Los Angeles, the Zmed Brothers continuously strive to pay homage to their personal roots by always infusing an instinctual blend of comedic entertainment (a la Smothers Brothers) and contextual education in their performance. As brothers and musicians, Zach and Dylan Zmed both feel it is a privilege and a duty to contribute to a cause that supports the recognition and preservation of the intimate and singular origins of America's greatest Rock n' Roll singing sibling duo of all time.

They perform as a duo, a trio, and a 4 piece band depending on the setting. Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Vocals (Zach Zmed), Acoustic Guitar, Vocals (Dylan Zmed), Drums, Vocals (Burleigh Drummond), Bass (rotating members)

Gene Watson

If you ask any number of country singers who their favorite singer is, a large number of them will respond: Gene Watson. His music peers even named him “The Singer’s Singer” for his octave jumping range and smooth tone. Gene Watson has 34 studio albums, scored over 72 charted songs, including 23 Top Tens and 11 #1 country and gospel hits over his Sixty-year career. Watson’s first single, the self- penned, “If It’s That Easy” was released on Sun Valley Records in 1962.

It is safe to say that most knowledgeable country fans would point to Gene Watson as one of  country music’s best ballad singers in the same league as country icons George Jones, Merle Haggard, Ray Price and others who are the standard bearers for honest, traditional country music. It’s no surprise to anyone but Gene that the Grand Ole Opry asked him to be a member and inducted him into that iconic group in March of 2020, just before the world shut down for the pandemic.  

It’s also no surprise that such artists as Vince Gill, Lee Ann Womack, Trace Adkins, Connie Smith, Joe Nichols, Alison Krauss, and many others are not only happy, but eager  to record with Gene. It’s a stunning truth that at nearly 78 years of age, that Gene still sings with his clear, pure tone intact, an unmatched soulful delivery and in the same key as 30 years ago. And that is good news for fans of real country music rooted in the timeless values of one of America’s bedrock musical genres.

“I think I’m working harder on each album to perfect what I do and still always working to be better,” Gene notes. “I don’t want anything to be so technically slick that we lose the emotion or the electricity of the moment. Each song is very personal to me and I always want the people listening to feel the emotion. Each song has a special meaning to me or I wouldn’t record it.”

Aaron Tippin

With a wide smile and engaging Southern drawl, Aaron Tippin proclaims he’s the “luckiest hillbilly that has ever lived,” and there’s no arguing it. After all he’s been struck by lightning twice and lived to tell, piloted planes with engine failure and even somewhat more miraculously, he’s survived more than three decades in the music business and is still going strong. Along the way, he’s earned six gold albums and one platinum. He’s released more than 30 singles, including such hits as “You’ve Got to Stand for Something,” “My Blue Angel,” “I Wouldn’t Have it Any Other Way,” “Kiss This,” “Workin’ Man’s Ph. D,” “There Ain’t Nothing Wrong with the Radio” and “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly,” which was not only a country hit, but top 20 on Billboard’s all genre Hot 100 chart. Of course, luck often plays a role in achieving success in the entertainment industry, but the real driving forces behind Tippin’s achievements are a dedicated work ethic and undeniable talent.

“ This took me by surprise actually,” Tippin says of his music career. “It was the furthest thing from my mind. I wanted to be an airplane pilot.”

He achieved that dream early on by becoming a commercial pilot and then began expanding his horizons by pursuing his other love—music. Born in Pensacola, FL and raised on a farm in Travelers Rest, SC, Tippin had a passion for aviation and became a pilot with single and multi-engine ratings. “But when the energy crunch hit and the airlines started furloughing senior captains I said, ‘This ain’t going to happen,’” he recalls. “I didn’t want to be a corporate pilot for the rest of my life, so I did what I liked next best and that was pickin’ and grinnin.’”

He took a job with an excavation company driving a bulldozer and dump truck by day and playing in clubs at night with his band. The enthusiastic hometown reception buoyed his musical aspirations, and he made the move to Nashville.

His first success in Music City came as a songwriter. The late Charlie Monk, known as the “Mayor of Music Row,” took Tippin under his wing. “He was my first champion in Nashville,” Tippin says. “I was working for him when he got the job at Acuff-Rose Publishing and he calls me and says, ‘Hey, do you want to come over here and write?’ I was lucky to get that chance.”

Tippin found himself writing songs for the legendary publishing company that had been home to Hank William Sr. His songs were recorded by gospel greats the Kingsmen, David Ball, Mark Collie and the legendary Charley Pride, but soon people began asking about the unique voice singing his demos and Tippin was offered a deal with RCA Records. His first single, “You’ve Got to Stand for Something,” became his first top ten hit in 1991.

Over the years, he’s built a successful career as an artist who sings what he believes. Tippin’s music has resonated with fans for decades because his love for God, country and family has always been front and center. He sings songs that celebrate the life of the common, hard-working man because that’s who Tippin is at his core.

The Music of Alan Jackson performed by Tim Campbell and the Chattahoochie Band

Tim Campbell was born and raised in Granite City, Illinois. His love for music started at an early age as he sang and played for his parents in church on Sundays. Tim formed a band with his brothers in the early 1980s and performed in Nashville, Tennessee for a few years. When Tim returned to his homeland, he decided to create a tribute show called, “Chattahoochee”, to pay tribute to country music star, Alan Jackson. It has been very successful in the Midwest area for years and is still going strong today. Backed by some of the most elite regional musicians, Tim will make you fell like you are sitting front row at an Alan Jackson performance.

Jimmy Fortune

Jimmy Fortune toured, sang and performed with the legendary Statler Brothers for 21 years. He joined them first as a temporary replacement for Lew DeWitt, after DeWitt heard him singing at a ski resort and recommended him.  Following an audition in Nashville, Jimmy was contacted by The Statler Brothers and performed his first show with them on January 28, 1982, in Savannah, Georgia.  Due to the debilitating effects of Crohn’s Disease, Lew was unable to return to the stage with the Statlers, and Jimmy was hired as a permanent replacement in August of 1982.

Fortune quickly lived up to his name. He wrote the group’s second No. 1 hit, “Elizabeth,” on their 1983 album  Today , and followed that with two more No. 1 hits–“My Only Love” (from 1984’s  Atlanta Blue ) and “Too Much On My Heart” (from 1985’s  Pardners in Rhyme ). Fortune also wrote the top-10 hit “Forever” from 1986’s  Four for the Show  and co-wrote the top-10 hit “More Than a Name on a Wall” from 1988’s  The Greatest Hits .

Great Shows, Wholesome Fun

Brought my mom to see Twitty & Lynn and it was amazing!!! Love coming here. Came some time back to see Mason Ramsey, before he was "Famous" and it was great as well. Back tonight to see The Moron Brothers. Can't wait!!!

Had a great time at the Kentucky Opry! Tim Atwood performance was still great. What musician and entertainer. Did not disapoint. And was doing gospel tunes the next day at the Cowboy Church in the same location.

I have attended many shows at the Kentucky Opry. It may not be as glamorous as venues like the Carson Center, but it's charm and the quality of the entertainers keep me returning. I moved to the Paducah KY area four years ago. I have enjoyed Paducah's varied musical offerings. The Kentucky Opry is a gem and I love it. Jimmy Fortune, who I have seen multiple times, is returning. I have had tickets for a long time. Thanks, Clay, and the folks at the Opry.

If you love country music and the oldies, you can't go wrong with this small town, family oriented music show. It's family fun and a little comedy, toe-tapping music and a pleasant way to spend your Saturday night.

Great place to visit while visiting the area. The entertainment was great. Really got a down home feeling. Almost like we were part of the family. Enjoyed it

We just moved to Benton, KY and have gone to two shows at the Kentucky Opry. We enjoyed both shows so much and have made reservations for three more! We are considering a group tour to Washington D.C. Does anyone have any feedback on the group tours? Specifically, I'm wondering what kind of hotel accommodations are made. If the bus and hotels aren't clean, it may be difficult for me lol

Kentucky Opry Releases Star-Studded 2024 Line-Up

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter

While you're plotting your entertainment expenses for 2024--Happy New Year, by the way--you might want to make note of an impressive line-up of talent expected to grace the stage of a popular western Kentucky venue.

The Kentucky Opry simply does NOT disappoint, and it's stepping up to the plate in the coming year to prove that point with a star-studded line-up of some of your favorite 80s and 90s country superstars.

One of the 90s most popular bands brings its 15 top ten hits and five number ones to the Opry Saturday, February 3rd.

Collin Raye

From 1992 through 2000, Collin Raye was one of country music's most prolific artists, racking up 21 top ten hits--including 11 straight from '92 through '95--and four chart toppers. He'll have a lot of ground to cover Friday, February 16th.

Lorrie Morgan

Lorrie's 14 top ten hits include three number one smashes, and this one, which is one of her signature hits. Thankfully, her busy schedule has allowed her to visit Kentucky Opry on Saturday, March 9th.

The Kentucky Headhunters

Someone commented below that these tickets are going fast. Contact Kentucky Opry for an update. But I'll tell you this, that would surprise me in the slightest. I've seen these guys four times. It's always different, fun, and LOUD. If you've never seen them, you should. They'll light up the KY Opry stage Saturday, April 6th.

T. Graham Brown

One of the most soulful voices in country music history will team up with his good friend--that OTHER "T.G."--T.G. Sheppard for "TNT Dynamite" on Saturday, April 27th.

Confederate Railroad

Here's another fun band. I'm not sure if the guys will save "Trashy Women" for the finale, but I certainly would. I guess we'll find out Saturday, April 18th.

The Bellamy Brothers

The legendary duo had big hits in the 70s--including the iconic smash below--the 80s, and the 90s. I predict at least one medley to cover a lot of bases. David and Howard will certainly HAVE a lot of bases to cover on Saturday, June 1st.

Gene Watson

This country music legend brings a long list of classics with him to western Kentucky on Saturday, October 12th. And if you've never heard Gene Watson's silky smooth pipes--unaffected by time, by the way--you're in for a treat.

Aaron Tippin

One of the most entertaining country stars--and one of the NICEST--I've ever seen will tear it up on the Kentucky Opry stage October 26th. Aaron Tippin ALWAYS brings it.

And if you love a good cover band, Kentucky Opry has you covered. Alyssa and Wayne Brewer will bring "George Jones and Tammy Wynette Tribute" to Benton KY on August 10th. And a week later, on August 17th, the Eagles tribute band, Hotel California, will take the stage.
