Grand Ole Opry At Raue Center

The Grand Ole Opry is coming to the Raue Center Friday.

Well not really the Grand Ole Opry, but close to it. A new program entitled Nashville Backstage Series: A Country Cabaret is opening Friday. July 13 at 8:00 p.m...Nashville Backstage kicks will present outstanding singer-songwriters Gary Burr, Georgia Middleman and Jim Photoglo.

This series originally started in partnership with Blue Bird Cafe under the guidance of Michael Bush, and modeled after the Grand Ole Opry, features some of the hottest acts to come out of Tennessee today. These artists have written for some of music’s biggest stars like Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Kelly Clarkson and more.

 It’s rare that Raue Center has such a powerhouse married duo on stage at the same time -- Gary Burr and Georgia just got married this past April. The couple also plays in a trio with Kenny Loggins called Blue Sky Riders.

Nashville Backstage has 4 dates throughout the season: October 5, 2012 (right before Grammy-winning artist Amy Grant) with Maia Sharp, Randy Sharp and Craig Carothers, March 1, 2013 and June 28, 2013. Single tickets start at $24 or a series pass is available. Visit rauecenter.org or contact the Box Office at 26 N. Williams Street or by calling 815.356.9212.
