Since its 1925 beginnings, the Grand Ole Opry has brought music and comedy to radio audiences, while its Nashville stage has become a landmark in country music history. David Stabler’s guide traces the show’s origins and highlights its continuing broadcasts, its Opryland USA theme park, and the performers associated with its stage. It also touches on the Opry 100 celebration and the wooden circle preserved in the current stage—a link between different generations of performers. The book places the Opry within the broader story of American music and broadcasting.

Book overview

Head to the home of country music in Nashville and hit the Opry House stage in this fascinating history of the longest-running radio show in America.

Since 1925, radio listeners have enjoyed the music, comedy, and camaraderie of the Grand Ole Opry. Learn about how the Opry live show got its start, the star-studded Opry 100 celebration, and everything in between in this guide to the most historic venue in Music City, USA.

Did you know the Opry is still broadcast every Friday and Saturday night? There was even a Grand Ole Opry theme park: Opryland USA! Are you curious about why Elvis Presley left the Opry upset after his one and only performance there? He stood on the same stage that was shared by greats like Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn. That stage is represented by a six-foot circle of wood set in the new Opry stage today. It has witnessed performances from the likes of Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift, and Darius Rucker.
