Grand Ole Opry members Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton will serve as co-hosts for the two-hour anniversary special.
 
The Opry has inspired and created major moments in a country music artist’s career for over nine decades.  This long held tradition is carried on in the special, with two special moments featured.

During Lady A’s performance taping for the special, Opry member Darius Rucker surprised the group with an invitation to join the hallowed institution.  Kane Brown’s performance in the special marks his official Opry debut.
 
“This special is going to capture so much of what makes the Opry a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience,” said Dan Rogers, Opry Vice President and Executive Producer. “10-year Opry member Blake and 20-year member Brad guide us through a powerful Opry debut, an Opry membership invitation given to one of country’s most awarded vocal groups, performances of some of today’s chart-topping hits and timeless songs that have rung out from the Opry stage for decades, and a look back at cherished members of the Opry family and musical moments that have come to define the Opry we know today.”
 
The “Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years of Country Music” telecast is a production of Grand Ole Opry and Brad Lachman Productions with Lachman serving as executive producer. Along with Lachman, Dan Rogers and Scott Bailey are executive producers. Bill Bracken, Brad Lachman Productions, is co-executive producer.
