Sunday Mornin’ Country is a long-standing tradition at the Grand Ole Opry House, originating in 1983 as a casual jam session amongst Opry musicians. Created by Ricky Skaggs, it quickly evolved into a regularly scheduled concert series held most Sundays. The performances generally eschew elaborate staging and focus on acoustic instrumentation and collaborative performances. It’s known for its intimate atmosphere and showcases a wide range of country, bluegrass, and gospel artists – often including both established stars and emerging talents. The series intentionally maintains a relaxed, informal feel reminiscent of its origins as a musician's gathering. It provides an alternative experience to the more formal evening shows typically presented at the Opry House.
