KALIE SHORR DAZZLES IN GRAND OLE OPRY DEBUT

I would like to share a press release I was sent on Kalie Shorr who dazzles in her Grand Ole Opry Debut. Once I begin to read the Press Release I knew her song was something I wanted to listen to.

As I listened to the music I could hear myself in the lyrics. I looked at Kalie she reminded me of my friends daughter Karlee who is trying to get started in Country Music.

I would like to invite you to read not only the Press Release but to listen to her song Awake and let me know what you thought of not only the song but her as well. Don’t forget to check out the young man in the video who is hot.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 5, 2018) — Rising country singer-songwriter Kalie Shorr made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry Saturday night. Kalie performed two songs during the 7:30 p.m. segment of the show – “Awake” from her new EP that was released in January and “Fight Like A Girl,” 2016 single that first got her noticed in country music. She shared the moment with her fans via social media HERE.

“Stepping into the circle before the show was one of the most emotional experiences of my life. In Nashville, you work so hard for all these little successes, then you maybe drink a glass of champagne and move on to the next thing on the to-do list, and this was something completely different. It felt like a Friday night, game-winning touchdown to qualify for State,” Kalie said. “There was a Lorrie Morgan quote in my dressing room about her Opry debut that said ‘I thought- this is what I’m doing for the rest of my life.’ It hit me then that all I’ve ever wanted to do was write and sing country music- and here I am, doing it on the most important stage country music has. I’m so thankful to the Opry for this incredible honor, and I already can’t wait to do it again.”After her performance, Kalie was joined by Opry member and country music legend Jeannie Seely for “Girl Talk” in the “Welcome To The Family” dressing room where the two went live on the Opry Facebook page to talk about Kalie’s debut. You can watch the video here.

Kalie will be wrapping up the CMT Next Women of Country Presents Sara Evans All The Love Tour this week, then will travel to the northeast for a run of solo performances, including a show at the Opry City Stage in New York City at the end of April.

Charlie and I listened to her song for Music class. Charlie let me know the song sounded a lot like his sister. Although he says, it might have been me when I was younger.

Both Charlie and I can’t wait to see if we can find other songs she has written which would would be fun to add to our Music class for Homeschool.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
