Live Tonight on Millennium Stage: “Black Opry has grown beyond its blog origins to be a force of change and a leader in the movement to bring racial equity to country music” —Rolling Stone
“The Black Opry has rapidly become a vital voice” —Billboard
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, we have been overlooked and disregarded in the genre by fans and executives. Black Opry wants to change that. We invite you to discover, support and enjoy the Black artists that make magic in this space. One of the most valuable aspects of country music is its versatility and diversity in sound. Country, blues, folk, and Americana music often overlap or weave together- these artists explore all of those sounds and intersections. The Black Opry Revue showcases the diversity in sound and stories that Black artists offer to these genres.
The lineup includes Autumn Nicholas, Nikki Morgan, Leon Timbo, and Frankie Staton & Friends from the Black Country Music Association.
This collaboration set between The Black Opry and and The Black Country Music Association will follow the opening of an exhibit in the country music hall of fame that honors both organizations and we are really excited to celebrate that milestone with this special show!
