Lady A, Ricky Skaggs & Chapman’s family will be on hand
Steven Curtis Chapman will officially join the Grand Ole Opry on November 1st. Lady A is scheduled to induct the multi-Grammy and GMA Dove Award-winning artist. Ricky Skaggs, who invited Chapman to join earlier this summer, will also appear alongside Colony House, a rock band that features two of Chapman’s sons.
Chapman and the Opry are teaming up on the award winner’s induction night to kick off National Adoption Month. The Opry will donate $5 from each ticket sold to benefit Show Hope, the nonprofit organization founded by Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth, that provides ongoing care and support to children who have been orphaned and families impacted by adoption and foster care.
With 50 No. 1 hits, Chapman is the most-awarded artist in Christian music history. The beloved singer made his Opry debut 42 years ago at age 19 when he was a performer at the Opryland USA theme park, singing the songs of Opry greats including George Jones, Ricky Skaggs, and others.
Chapman is also scheduled to perform on this season’s Opry Country Christmas. The Opry member-elect will be the Spotlight Artist on December 22nd. Presented by Humana, the series will also feature special performances by Spotlight Artists including Opry members Jon Pardi, Lorrie Morgan, The Oak Ridge Boys, Scotty McCreery, Chris Young, and others.
