Country Icon Kelly Lang Headlines Grand Ole Opry for Opry Goes Pink  (October
10, 2023) - "So shocked," said Country icon Kelly Lang about singing at the Grand
Ole Opry for their Opry Goes Pink concert event. "To seek me out!"
Kelly Lang has sung
at the Grand Ole Opry many times with other artists as the lead act, such as with Barry Gibbs, but this is the first time
Lang is headlining along with everyone else at the Grand Ole Opry. Kelly has written hit songs for Ricky Skaggs, Oak Ridge
Boys, Crystal Gayle, Johnny Lee, T.G. Sheppard, and Jerry Lee Lewis. She has duet singles with T. G. Sheppard, Olivia Newton-John,
Barry Gibbs, and so many more.
"I am singing two songs I've written - ‘I Think It's Jesus' is one,"
Kelly told me when I asked.
My first-time interviewing Lang was earlier this year, I was not aware of her deep
roots in Country music, but I knew her name as a songwriter on others (I like looking at the credits). However, her voice,
wow! I never knew, and I asked her where she been as a vocalist! She modestly said, "I have a few songs out there."
That's when I learned how deep she touches the careers of Country music's iconic performers, if not as a vocalist, or on duets,
then it is as a songwriter.
Kelly Lang has released at least eight albums and "produced" at least 11
studio albums. Amazing. Her spirit is amazing as well, which I am sure is why the Grand Ole Opry reached out to her. The Grand
Ole Opry, located in Nashville, is synonymous with the best in Country Music performances. Nashville is synonymous with cultivating
the best in Country artists. The Grand Ole Opry was established in 1925 by George Hay as a one-hour Country music (barn music)
radio show on WSM, with live weekly performances at the Opry House (Music City) in Nashville, Tennessee. Today, aside from
WSM Radio the show is also aired on Sirius XM and Circle TV. Country icons that have made the Grand Ole Opry home include
Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and Reba McEntire.
"And at this age, that is way past me," she laughed a
little about her own two-song segment at the Grand Ole Opry's Opry Goes Pink concert. "Tells you, never give up." www.Opry.com www.KellyLang.net SYNDICATED
