The Sopchoppy Opry is off and running for another fantastic season!  The January and February shows were sell-outs and the fan base of the ‘The Little Opry That Can’ just keeps expanding!  And the reason for this popularity is no secret!  Just look at the line up for this month’s show!  It’s Al & Wretha Webb with Swiftwater, ‘Mr. Country’ Johnny Calloway and of course another great show by our own South Bound Band!  Folks are coming from far and wide to enjoy some of the best classic country, bluegrass & Gospel music anywhere!  It’s show time at the Opry, March 27 - 7pm in historic Sopchoppy High School Auditorium!  Don’t miss it!  Get your tickets today, 962-3711!

“Swiftwater won the hearts of Opry fans at their first appearance”, says Reggie Bradley, Opry Music Coordinator.  “And the love affair has been growing ever since.”  And no wonder!  Their performance is filled with a good mix of classic country, bluegrass and Gospel music with a sprinkling of humor that is sure to please every fan. 

Al & Wretha Webb, anchors for the group, are excellent musicians and possess a wonderful vocal harmony that when blended with the instrumental/vocal talents of  Amy & Joan Alderman  and Ruth Hagy, produce a unique sound most pleasing to the ear!.  Since their last appearance, Swiftwater has added a new member, a beautiful and talented young mandolin player, formerly with the River Town Girls!  Learn more about this fantastic band at their web site swiftwater.us.

Joining Swiftwater and performing the first set with South Bound Band is ‘Mr. Country’ Johnny Calloway!  Johnny is always a welcome guest on the Opry and drops in from time to time delighting fans with a double portion of country music’s greatest tunes! Johnny will serve as the on-stage host for the first hour as well, sharing a funny story or two! Don’t miss Johnny Calloway, March 27-7 pm in historic Sopchoppy High School Auditorium!

It’s Swiftwater, Johnny Calloway and a brand new Southbound Band show too! What a way to spend an evening, all for the price of just $8 a ticket! And if you want to eat before the show, come early and enjoy an entrée, BBQ sandwich, Hotdog , and some world class homemade desserts in the Opry Concession.
