Wow, what a SHOW!

Oh my, if you missed the October show here at the Glass City Opry… you missed a good one! I think even, it might have been the best show all around that we’ve done! The bands were awesome, and the timing of the show was perfect, just what we had imagined. Everyone had a great time, and by the murmurings and good wishes and all that we’ve heard, everyone thought it was perfect!

The first two shows were great too! But there was a bit of a learning curve with getting our feet under us and learning the ropes of regular show production! Believe it or not, we’ve never done this before to this extent and it’s a tough learning curve! We SO appreciate everyone that has come out and helped to support the show. We heard that even people down in the Nashville, for the annual IBMA Bluegrass Convention have heard about little old Toledo and their brand new Glass City Opry! How Exciting is that???

Well, we are so excited and ready for the November show!

Featuring an awesome band from West Virginia…. Buck and Company!

These boys are not just snappy dressers, but some of the best regional grass I’ve ever heard! Please go and take a moment to listen to a few cuts and visit their website!

I just adore their “Smoky Mountain Memories”!!!! I sure hope they play it here in November! Can’t wait to see these gentlemen bring their music to our Opry here!

And opening for Buck and Company is our own Ottawa County Bluegrass boys! These gentlemen are a treat and we hope you’ll enjoy their music too! They just had a new CD out and I have to tell you, it’s a goodun!
