Starr will make his Opry debut on February 21 at the Grand Ole Opry House as part of the Opry’s ongoing 100th Anniversary celebration. Starr kicked off his sold-out two-night show (Jan. 14-15) at the Ryman Auditorium Tuesday night, to celebrate his new country album, Look Up.

That’s right, after a recent show, Starr was surprised on stage by Grand Ole Opry member Emmylou Harris, who gave him the invite to play the Opry. “I’d love to,” Starr said. “It’s an honor and a pleasure. Thank you.”
