Sadly, after many years of music, laughter and fun,

the Liberty Opry has closed its doors

​

============================================

 

We had the honor and privilege to sing, play and laugh alongside some truly gifted musicians and vocalists, and a great comedian.   We met and became friends with so many wonderful people.  To our wonderful customers, we thank you for your past support and friendship.  Most of all, we want to thank the Liberty Opry Band for their incredible talent and unwavering loyalty. 

 

Rick Burton, drummer extraordinaire

Jim Cox, amazing lead guitarist and vocalist (the Cox family were the original owners and operators of the Liberty Opry)

Michael Garrett, our newest and fabulous bass player

Calvin Gainey, awesome keyboardist, vocalist, sound engineer

Andy and Jimmy Lingenfelter and Mike Loftin– horn players for many specialty and oldies shows

Brian Thomas, phenomenal steel guitarist (and a few other instruments)

Rodney Smith, great fiddle player / violinist

Larry “Booger Lee” Etheridge – comedian with the greatest antics, facial expressions and delivery

 

Special mention and thank you to:

Judy Etheridge and Kathy Sowell, the “ticket booth” ladies.  Always there and always ready.
