The Grand Ole Opry, presented by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, will host the final Tuesday Night Opry of 2008 next week, Dec. 16, at the historic Ryman Auditorium. A one-hour portion of the show will be taped for broadcast Dec. 20 on Great American Country’s “Opry Live,” according to a news release.
Among the performers confirmed for the show are Opry members Bill Anderson, Jimmy Dickens, Julianne Hough, Diamond Rio, Martina McBride and Oklahoma native Carrie Underwood.
Underwood, who was inducted as an Opry member this year, will wrap her “Carnival Ride Tour,” her first headlining tour, on Saturday. Checotah’s favorite daughter has chosen to make the final Tuesday Night Opry her last live performance of 2008. She and the others on the show, will perform hits and Christmas songs.
The Tuesday Night Opry will return on March 3, for a 10-month run, and the Opry’s new Thursday show, Opry Country Classics, is set to begin March 26.
