Black Opry is a home for Black artists and Black fans of country, blues, folk, and Americana music.
Country music has been made by and loved by Black people since its conception. For just as long, Black artists have been overlooked and disregarded in the genre by fans and executives. Black Opry wants to change that. They invite you to discover, support and enjoy the Black artists that make magic in this space.
“The beautiful part about our Revues is that they do such a good job of demonstrating the diversity in sound within Black country music. All of these artists have their own unique perspective and approach and represent a different iteration of the future of country music.” — Holly G, founder of Back Opry, as told to Lorie Liebig, Nashville Scene
Country, blues, folk, and Americana music often overlap or weave together—these artists explore all of those sounds and intersections. We are excited to have the Black Opry Revue showcase the diversity in sound and stories that Black artists offer to these genres on the Strawberry Stage, Friday, May 23rd!
