Tragically, the Opry in Nashville has burned down. Just not the one you’re thinking of.
Crews from across Brown County and surrounding areas fought a large fire at The Little Nashville Opry house in Nashville, Indiana last night. The fire started around 10:30 Saturday night, however, crews are still on the scene battling problems - hotspots and flare-ups.
The Little Nashville Opry held its first performance in April of 1975. According to its website, it has hosted some of Indiana's top musicians and some of country music's popular performers.
George Jones and Loretta Lynn were just two of the big names scheduled this fall.
Scores of country music's most popular names, as well as Southern Gospel, Contemporary Christian groups and popular vocalists like Tom Jones and Wayne Newton, have appeared at The Little Nashville Opry over the years.
What a shame. That was such a fun place to go to concerts. It was so quaint. Where else could you sit on benchs for a concert? Sure hope they can rebuild soon
ReplyDeleteAfter growing up in Nashville for 18 years, before moving to Tennessee, the Opry has always been a favorite place of mine. I remember performing at the Opry with various school functions during my youth. The Opry as we knew it will truely be missed, I hope they will rebuild! My thoughts and prayers are with the owners and workers of the Opry!
