Trace Adkins and Vince Gill to Help the Opry Salute the Troops

The Grand Ole Opry is teaming up with some big names to pay respects to the U.S. military. The May 19 celebration will feature performances from Trace Adkins, Vince Gill and more.

The Opry's Salute to the Troops 2015 will kick off in true style with a red carpet arrival parade on Tuesday. There will also be a very special performance by the MusiCorps Wounded Warrior Band — it's only their second time performing on the Opry! Adkins and Gill are just the icing on the cake of performers. Craig Morgan, Kellie Pickler and Lee Greenwood will also be present to salute our military.

The fun kicks off at 5:45PM CT outside of the legendary Opry, starting with a red carpet event, and will move inside the historic venue at 7PM for a night of performances.

Although this particular night is jam-packed, it's only one evening of a nine-month-long celebration of the Opry's 90th anniversary, which they're calling the Cause for Applause. May will be devoted to supporting both MusicCorps and the USO. Artists scheduled to appear this month include: Brett Eldredge, Charlie Daniels Band, Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers, Hunter Hayes, Oak Ridge Boys, Rascal Flatts and Aaron Tippin.
