“Since making his Opry debut 25 years ago, Alan Jackson has written and recorded songs that will go down as true country music classics,” said Opry Vice President and General Manager Pete Fisher. “We are excited to hear some of those great songs and welcome Alan home to the Opry stage next month.”

Jackson has been on a coast-to-coast 25th Anniversary KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY TOUR and just released his 15th studio album, the No. 1 selling Angels and Alcohol, heralded as “his best in years,” with a major media blitz that included features and performances on NPRCBS SUNDAY MORNINGTONIGHT SHOW starring Jimmy Fallon and a live performance on the Toyota Summer Concert Series on NBC’s TODAY.

Angels and Alcohol came 25 years after his debut landmark album Here In The Real World. Since the release of Here In The Real World, Jackson not only became a member of the Grand Ole Opry, but has gone on to release 22 albums including two Christmas albums, two gospel albums, three Greatest Hits collections and a Bluegrass album which included standards and eight original songs written by Jackson.

Among others scheduled for the night’s two shows are Miranda Lambert, Marty Stuart, Del McCoury Band, and Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers.
