Josh Turner’s grandmother-in-law (his wife Jennifer’s grandmother) Lois Cunningham just celebrated her 100th birthday on June 12th with a big celebration with family and friends in attendance.
“My grandmother-in-law, the one that is pretty famous right now for playing ‘How Great Thou Art’ spontaneously on the Grand Ole Opry stage a few years ago just turned 100 back on June 12th, and we went down there and had a bigtime shindig for her,” says Josh. “We played a lot of music and ate a lot of food, good clean fun and fellowship and we had good weather for it and everything and she was feeling good, so we had a great time.”

You may remember Ms. Cunningham was 98 when she made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry in 2016 playing piano on “How Great Thou Art” during Josh’s set.
Josh is making his way up the country charts with his latest single, “All About You,” the follow-up to his recent No. 1 hit, “Hometown Girl.”

“Yeah, my grandmother-in-law, the one that is pretty famous right now for playing ‘How Great Thou Art’ spontaneously on the Grand Ole Opry stage a few years ago just turned 100 back on June 12th, and we went down there and had a bigtime shindig for her. We played a lot of music and ate a lot of food, good clean fun and fellowship and we had good weather for it and everything and she was feeling good, so we had a great time. She was even up there playing several songs on the piano so she’s still doing pretty good for 100.”
