Craig Morgan made a milestone 200th appearance at the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday (July 21st). To honor the occasion, Craig performed memorable hits “That’s What I Love About Sunday,” “Redneck Yacht Club,” and a brand new song called “Country Side of Heaven” for a packed house in the historic venue. He is set to celebrate his 7th anniversary as a member of the Opry this fall.
As a life-long fan and supporter of the hallowed institution, Craig tells us that his dedication to the “Mother Church” goes hand-in-hand with his love of country music: [“I think if you were to ask anyone anywhere in the world — just go anywhere you want and ask someone to tell you the first three things that pop into their mind when you say country music, without fail one or two would be the Grand Ole Opry, so the Grand Ole Opry epitomizes what country music is.”] SOUNDCUE (:16 OC: . . . country music is.)
Craig recently launched season six of Craig Morgan: All Access Outdoors on the Outdoor Channel.
He has spent the last six months focused in the studio recording a new album, which is expected to be released this year.
