GAC Exclusive – 'OPRY AT CARNEGIE HALL' – Brings Viewers Historic Performances By Country Greats

NASHVILLE, TN (Great American Country) - It is a historic moment in the history of country music, with some of the industry's greatest artists performing together on the legendary stage of Carnegie Hall, and viewers can see it only on Great American Country (GAC) network.

GAC will premiere the two-hour special, The Grand Ole Opry at Carnegie Hall, on Sunday, March 12 at 8 pm ET. The program, taped last November during the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards week, captures the Opry's first return to Carnegie Hall in 44 years and includes memorable performances from some of the Opry's biggest names. Vince Gill hosts the special and performs. Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss sing their duet, 'Whiskey Lullaby,' which claimed song of the year honors at the CMA Awards the following evening. Other artist performances featured in the special include Trisha Yearwood, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, Martina McBride, Little Jimmy Dickens, Bill Anderson and Charley Pride.
"I don't think there's anything that'll happen to top that first impression of walking onto that stage and looking around," says Gill.

GAC recently renewed its agreement with the Grand Ole Opry, ensuring its exclusive rights to the popular Saturday primetime series, Grand Ole Opry Live for several years while extending the deal to include additional Opry-related programming.
