Grand Ole Opry featuring Rhett Akins, Thomas Rhett and Luke Bryan

Luke Bryan plays the Grand Ole Opry House on Tuesday, October 13, as part of a Grand Ole Opry show that also features Rhett Akins and Thomas Rhett. It's a Nashville lineup with three names from the same family tree sharing one bill.

Bryan's sound sits right where contemporary country meets modern pop. He builds his songs on acoustic and electric guitar, with a smooth baritone that works as well on a quiet ballad as it does on a big chorus. Those choruses often get a lift from synthesizers and programmed drums, and he's put out several multi-platinum albums and number-one singles along the way. You'll recognize 'Country Girl (Shake It for Me)' and 'Play It Again' — two of the tracks that have become country anthems. He's a regular headliner at the bigger festivals, like the CMA Music Festival and Stagecoach, and has collaborated with Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line.

His live shows usually run between 90 minutes and two hours, backed by a full band and often one or two supporting acts. He typically plays large arenas, amphitheatres, and stadiums, so seeing him at the Opry puts him in a different kind of room than the ones he usually fills.

The show starts at 7 PM on October 13 at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, with Rhett Akins and Thomas Rhett on the bill alongside him.
