On a Saturday night, it’s always a great night for good ol’ fashioned country music! Recently, the gospel group, The Isaacs performed a unique show in November in Forrest City, Arkansas at the Eastern Arkansas Community College Fine Arts Center.

This lovely group, The Isaacs expressed during the concert how grateful they are to be apart of the cherished Grand Ole Opry family. “You know, you’ll hear the word family a lot tonight in talking about the Grand Ole Opry because it really is one big family,” shared Sonya Isaacs. “We’ve played the Opry for the last 30 years of our lives we’ve been guests at the Opry, we couldn’t believe it when they invited us to be members a few years ago, it was just such an honor.” The Isaacs were inducted as the newest Grand Ole Opry members on September 14th, 2021.

Along with that, The Isaacs talked about the very exciting accomplishment the Grand Ole Opry will be celebrating next year! “By the way, the Grand Ole Opry is turning 100 years old next year! So Happy Birthday to the Opry and if you want to help us celebrate come to Nashville, make plans to visit Nashville and come to the Grand Ole Opry!” shared Sonya Isaacs. 

This concert by The Isaacs on the A Tribute to the Grand Ole Opry Tour was a very special and unforgettable show celebrating such a rich history of the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music. The Isaacs are a remarkable group and their vocals together are amazing! Would love to see more shows like this in the future!
