This past Tuesday, Tawny and I went down to the Ryman for my first Grand Ole Opry experience. We saw Jason Michael Carroll, Jimmy Wayne, Whispering Bill Anderson, The Whites, and Dierks Bentley.  This was also my first time hearing Jason Michael Caroll and Jimmy Wayne live. I must say I was not disapointed.

Jason Michael Carroll sang “Where I’m From” and “Hurry Home”, his new single which is such a gut wrenching song. Every time I hear it I mist up. I was very impressed with his vocal talent, he is one of the best live performers I have heard and I must say I love the new haircut!

Jimmy Wayne sang “I Love You This Much” and “Sara Smile”. I really love this new single and hearing it live was just as great, he has such a smooth voice. After hearing him sing Sara Smile live it really made me wish my name was Sara.

Dierks was the last to take the stage after some rousing christmas tunes from Bill Anderson, and a round of bluegrass which I appreciate but do not love.  He sang “Lot of Leavin’ Left To Do”and my personal favorite “Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes”.  Hearing that song live is fantastic, I love Dierks Bentley even if he didn’t come out and sign autographs after the show like Jimmy Wayne did.

All in all my first Opry experience was a good one, I will definitely be back!
