Washboard
Chaz
Traditional blues accompanied by washboard
percussion is the signature of this group that have played
in many New Orleans venues including the New Orleans Jazz
fest. Don't think of the traditional rub washboard in this
case Chaz's unique percussion board with various attachments
raises rub board percussion to a high art form. This act is
a don't miss.

The
Petty Bones
The house band for the 2008 Spring Season will set the
mark of excellence that we have come to expect from our
other acts. They have a versatile repertoire that includes
old time country, bluegrass, gospel and a little blues
thrown in. Their presence is always a treat for the Opry.
The Ukulele
Trio This
group of musicians have been playing together for a long
time and their appearance on the Opry stage is long overdue.
This group exemplifies what the Opry is all about. They
have played in some form or fashion at the Opry before.
You may recall, Jude LeBlanc, Abigail and Sam Alfano from
past performances. Their strong musicianship is complimented
by captivating personalities. We can't wait to see this!
The Bings
A husband and wife team from Baton Rouge
who present several genres of Louisiana Roots music. Their
sound sample included bluegrass, gospel, Cajun and old
time country music. They fit in very well with our mission
of preserving and presenting Louisiana roots music. This
act will be a welcome addition to the Opry.
TBA
On the front porch performing from 5:00-6:30pm Open free
to the public prior to the Opry.
