on Jan 27, 2025

The Grand Ole Opry Celebrates 100 Years
Few stages will ever measure up to the prestige and honor of the Grand Ole Opry. The first Grand Ole Opry radio show aired in 1925 and went on to become known as the show that made country music famous. As the program grew in popularity, it consequently outgrew venues one after another.
In 1943, the show found a home in Nashville’s beloved Ryman Auditorium. Some of the genre’s most iconic moments happened within these walls. Johnny Cash met his future bride, June Carter, Hank Williams made his debut, and Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, and more were welcomed as Opry members.
In 1974, the Grand Ole Opry moved to its current home, a 4,400-seat concert house that allowed the show the space to grow and evolve. What began as a small radio broadcast would become one of country music history’s most famous and influential programs.
