The Opry will celebrate the legacy of Keith Whitley on Oct. 14 with I Wonder Do You Think Of Me: The Opry Remembers Keith Whitley. Whitley’s widow, Lorrie Morgan, and his son, Jesse Keith Whitley, will be there for the event along with Garth Brooks. Brooks inducted Whitley into the Country Music Hall of Fame last year. Terri Clark and Ashley McBryde are also slated for the celebration and more artists will be announced soon.
“Keith Whitley made an indelible mark on country music and our Opry family,” Opry Vice President and Executive Producer Dan Rogers says. “Week after week, those who knew him still talk about him in our backstage hallways and many of those who have come along in the 34 years since his passing cite him as a key influence on their own musical styles. It’s going to be a great night of music as we bring several of those artists together to recall one of the greatest voices to have taken the Opry stage.”
The night will have two shows, one at 7 PM and one at 9:30 PM and tickets are on sale now.
