The Grand Ole Opry joined Women Rock For The Cure in the fight against breast cancer tonight with its sixth annual “Opry Goes Pink” show. Multi-platinum selling Opry group Rascal Flatts flipped the switch on the Opry’s signature barn backdrop, turning it pink for the night as artists performed in support of breast cancer awareness.
Troy Gentry of Opry member duo Montgomery Gentry welcomed his wife Angie, who shared publicly last week that she is battling breast cancer, to the stage to a rousing ovation from the Opry audience. Gentry performed T. Graham Brown’s 1986 No. 1 hit “Hell And High Water” for his wife, and the two were joined on stage by Brown for the song’s last verse.
The special show also included performances by Opry member Terri Clark and special guests Danielle Bradbery, Sara Evans, The Isaacs, and Nashville’s Will Chase, as well as numerous other activities recognizing breast cancer survivors. Chase, who was making his Opry debut, joined Evans to duet on current single, “Put My Heart Down.” The pair can be seen performing the tune again tonight on ABC’s Nashville at 10/9c p.m.
A portion of the proceeds from tonight’s show will be donated to Women Rock For The Cure.
