"This is actually crazy for us, for Maddie and I especially because we'd never even been inside the Ryman. On our first trip to Nashville, we played behind the Ryman in the alleyway, but we've never been inside. We just sound checked and the sound is just amazing. And just the history here is just unreal." - Emma

"Honestly, I prefer playing here at our debut versus the Opry House. I mean both would've been amazing, but just the history that's been here... Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, they made their debuts here. And not a lot of people get to do that just because of the timing. They only do it a couple months out of the year. So we're very lucky." - Dawson

"We did a little toast with the family and everybody got to say some words. Seeing them get emotional and like having them talk about the gang, and sharing the stories. It was too much."

"Our manager surprised us." "He called us and said we needed to do a video for Germany for some commercial and then he got out his phone and he said, first I want to do this fun social thing. He was like, I have two questions for you. One, do you have any plans November 1st? We were like, no, why? He was like, do you want to make your Opry debut?"

"To have [my parents] here is just incredible... They've been there from the beginning. They were the ones that got me into music and kind of helped me through it." - Dawson

"We're doing a cover of 'Desperado,' which we've been doing since literally since we became a band. It was one of the songs we did on our first trip here with everybody, record labels and we've done it literally every night since then. And so it felt fitting that it was here in this full circle moment."
