Luke Bryan, Darius Rucker Play The Opry This Weekend

Luke Bryan and Darius Rucker will step into the circle together for the Grand Ole Opry’s 4,937th consecutive Saturday night broadcast this Saturday (August 15th). The Opry will air on Circle TV and SiriusXM as well as the Opry’s flagship home 650 WSM AM and wsmonline.com.

Luke tells us that playing the Opry is always an honor. ["You know, it's really important for me to get on that stage and feel the emotions of what the Opry is, you know and I know I get criticized on what my music is based on the parameters of what maybe Country is but as long as I'm allowed to bring my version of music and my version of Country music to the Opry I'm always honored by that and I'm always proud of it."] SOUNDCUE (:27 OC: . . . proud of it.)

Luke released his new album, Born Here Live Here Die Here, on August 7th. He recently released a video for the album's title track.
