Grand Ole Opry: OPRY 100 with Steve Earle
Saturday, December 26, 2026 · 7:00 PM · Grand Ole Opry House, Opryland
The Read
Earle came up in Nashville as a songwriter, made a hard-country record that mattered in Guitar Town, then spent the following decades refusing to behave in any of the ways the industry preferred. The songs held up anyway. “Copperhead Road” is now closer to folklore than to a single, and the writing underneath the persona has always been the real argument. The day after Christmas, Earle steps onto the circle cut from the Ryman floor while the usual Opry bill rotates around him. He can respect that institution without sanding down everything that once made him difficult for the country business to absorb.
