Tursi makes Opry debut
Wednesday, August 21, 2024 – Old Dominion guitarist Brad Tursi will make his Grand Ole Opry debut Friday, stepping into the famed circle for the first time since releasing solo music.
"These songs are from my back porch, from my heart, and they're small things that are a big deal if you recognize and cherish them," Tursi said. "I'm so excited to be able to play some of them on the Grand Ole Opry stage."
Tursi released his debut project, "Parallel Love," on July 19.
Tursi will embark on a limited run of solo tour dates, kicking off Oct. 3 at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta and wrapping on Nov. 7 in Tucson, Ariz. at the Rialto Theatre.

The hyper positive lead single "Make it Sweet" sets the stage with an ode to the brighter side of everything. Most tracks are upbeat but, ironically, there is not an official party anthem or even a drinking song. The closest they get is "American Style," which is laden with standard innocent imagery ...
