Scott Bailey, president of Opry Entertainment, said, “Bobby is a terrific entertainer and music enthusiast who has been a friend of the Grand Ole Opry for many years, and a fan for much longer. As both an executive producer and host, Bobby will have the opportunity to collaborate with our Grand Ole Opry team and present the Opry in a way that will complement the live radio broadcast by providing an insider’s unique perspective into what goes on behind the curtain of country’s most famous stage.”

“As a kid from Mountain Pine, AR who grew up listening and loving The Opry with my grandma… I’m very honored by this opportunity. The rich history and tradition is second to none, and I’m thankful the Opry has not only trusted me to play music and tell jokes on its famed stage so many times, but to also invite me into this next chapter along with so many great country artists,” said Bobby Bones, host of Circle’s Opry.

“The Opry is a storied institution, and Circle is honored to present what are certain to be memorable performances and storytelling.  We believe Bobby’s love of the Opry and his genuine friendships with its members and guest artists make him an ideal host of these broadcasts,” said Drew Reifenberger, Circle General Manager.
