Danny Gokey Honored to Play Grand Ole Opry
Danny Gokey was in Nashville this past weekend and he returned to perform at the legendary Grand Ole Opry. No matter how many times he plays the Opry, Danny admits that his nerves always kick in before taking the historic stage.
“There’s always nerves — you know, from the first time when I was super nervous, my nerves don’t operate like that anymore when I go there, but there’s still the nerves there because it’s such a sacred stage,” Danny says. “So many historical, legendary people and events have taken place there, and you just gotta honor the stage, but, oh, man, I like it. I think the crowd responds really well, and it’s really great.”
No matter how nervous he may be, it’s always an honor for Danny to be asked to perform at the Opry.
“It is very validating when they invite me back. It is very, like…it just makes you feel good about yourself, and they’ve done it so many times: invite me back. And I just think, ‘Man, what a great honor.’ You know, you feel like you’ve accomplished something as a country singer because that is the place. That is, like, the historical place for country music. I love it.”
Danny is currently at country radio with his latest single, “Second Hand Heart.” The song is available at your favorite digital music outlets as well as on DannyGokey.com.
