ABOUT THIS SHOW
The Black Opry Revue Tour takes the The Cedar stage featuring several members of the collective, the Black Opry.
An organization advocating for Black artists in marginalized musical genres, the Black Opry has over 250 artists in rotation who, in 2022, performed at Newport Folk Festival, Pilgrimage, Xponential, Luck and with Alicia Keys in September at Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville.
When these artists tour, they're called the Black Opry Revue. The revue lineup at the Cedar includes Tylar Bryant, Julie WIlliams, Nikki Morgan, and Tae Lewis.

That's part of the reason The Black Opry was founded by Nashville's Holly G. The collective of Black artists first began as a website, and is a joyful, supportive space where Black artists can be heard and celebrated.
“Black Opry is so powerful because it reflects not only this generation of artists, musicians, and songwriters, but also writers, critics, journalists, and fans who are interested in not just amplifying the work of Black country artists and other marginalized communities,” says Dr. Charles L. Hughes, historian and author of Country Soul, “but also in creating networks and building a sense of community to avoid dealing with racist institutions.
