Since its inception, although often not recognized, Black musicians have been integral to country, folk, blues, and Americana. The Black Opry was founded by Nashville's Holly G. to celebrate and advance this tradition. The collective launched as a joyful, supportive online space where Black artists could be heard and celebrated. When members from the collective tour, they go by the Black Opry Revue – showcasing the diversity in sound and stories that Black artists bring to this music. Aisha Burns, Grace Givertz, and Chris Walton will all perform as the Black Opry Revue makes its Bombyx debut.
