Opry’s 100-Year Celebration & Our Backstage Story - 2025 Week 12
Bar Talk Happy Hour
Thursday, March 13, 2025 - 18 minutes
This week on Bar Talk Happy Hour, we’re celebrating a century of country music history! The Grand Ole Opry is marking 100 years of its legendary radio show with a star-studded Opry 100 television special, and none other than Alan Jackson is set to take the stage. We’ll talk about what this milestone means for country music, Alan’s deep ties to the Opry, and what fans can expect from this historic broadcast.
Plus, we’ve got a special story of our own—Odie Coyote & Producer Raven once had the chance to go backstage at the Opry! We’ll share what it was like behind the scenes at the Mother Church of Country Music, from the iconic dressing rooms to the incredible energy of the place.
And of course, we’ve got the latest honky-tonk hits, country music news, and a few surprises along the way. So grab a drink and join the conversation—it’s time for Bar Talk Happy Hour! 🍻🎶
