All eyes will soon be on Warner Music Nashville multi-talent Shy Carter as he brings his unique sound of Country-Soul to the iconic Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN. Making his debut on April 16, fans can purchase tickets here to catch his milestone performance.

Surprising Carter during a recent CMA Songwriters Series appearance at C2C: Country to Country in London, UK, watch as fellow songwriter Caitlyn Smith breaks the exciting news to him onstage.

“I’m so excited to be performing at the Grand Ole Opry. What a surreal moment,” shares Carter. “I’m grateful to the wonderful people at the Opry for embracing me and my music. This opportunity is truly a dream come true and I really can’t believe it’s actually happening! Here we go baby! Woo-hoo!”

Introducing his first body of work as a recording artist with ‘The Rest Of Us’ late last year, the decorated songwriter co-penned all eight songs on the David Garcia-produced EP. First making an openhearted “Good Love” statement of “broad, breezy optimism” according to NPR, before letting loose with a MusicRow-described “barroom banger” called “Beer With My Friends (feat. Cole Swindell and David Lee Murphy),” Carter has already proven his versatility in reaching diverse audiences. Currently in the studio working on new tracks, fresh music is promised this year.

Continuing to make his name known, the 2021 Amazon Music Artist to Watch will appear in the Amazon Music Original feature-length documentary, For Love & Country, out April 7. The film examines Country music’s evolution through the lens of a new generation of Black artists claiming space in Nashville — and helping to transform the genre in the process. Directed by director and photographer Joshua Kissi, the film will premiere in the Amazon Music app and on Prime Video. Watch the For Love & Country trailer here.

With music festival dates heating up, Carter is next slated to take the stage at Tortuga Music Festival 2022 (4/9) in Fort Lauderdale, FL, Stagecoach Music Festival 2022 (4/30) in Indio, CA, and Headwaters Country Jam 2022 (8/20) in Three Forks, MT. Click here for full show details.
