Now that his first appearance at the Opry is behind him, he’s already looking ahead to his next performance. “I hope the second time I go out, I’ll be less of a ball of nerves. I know that it’s a sacred stage. So for me to be able to walk out there, for people to accept me — and they cheered me, when they said my name. I was wondering how people were going to receive me.”
Gokey’s debut country album, My Best Days, is scheduled to drop in early March.
