The stage of Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry is hallowed ground. For a lot of country artists, stepping onto those boards means they’ve arrived, they’ve been welcomed into the “circle.”
Cable channel Great American Country is exploring what being a part of that circle means to rising stars, as well as seasoned vets, in its new series “Into the Circle.”
Each week, the show will feature an up-and-coming artist paired with an established GOO member sitting down to discuss what the “circle” means to them and what it took to get there.
Upcoming episodes include James Otto and Travis Tritt (August 6,7); Ashton Shepherd, Vince Gill and Patty Loveless (August 13,14); Rodney Atkins and Charlie Daniels (August 20,21) and Chuck Wicks and Brad Paisley (August 27,28).
