Country music has been made by and loved by Black people since its conception. For just as long, Black artists have been overlooked and disregarded in the genre by fans and executives. The Black Opry wants to change that. The line-up for this show includes Texas-born, Nashville-based country artist Tylar Bryant, Toronto-based singer-songwriter Shelley Hamilton, Boston-based indie folk singer songwriter Grace Givertz, and Virginia-based Country singer-songwriter Jett Holden. We invite you to discover, support and enjoy the Black artists that make magic in this space. One of the most valuable aspects of country music is its versatility and diversity in sound. Country, blues, folk, and Americana music often overlap or weave together — these artists explore all of those sounds and intersections. The Black Opry showcases the diversity in sound and stories that Black artists offer to these genres.
