NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Missouri native Ruby Leigh will make her "lifelong dream" come true when she performs at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee.
Leigh will make her debut at the venue at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 2. John McTigue III and Paul Mirkovich will also perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
"The Opry holds an incredibly special place in my heart because so many of my heroes have stood in that circle and that’s a spiritual space that I can’t explain how honored I am to even be thought worthy enough to even just wax that part of the floor let alone stand there and sing," Leigh said in a Facebook post.
The Grand Ole Opry "is the stage that showcases country music's past, present and future," according to its website. It has been open for nearly 100 years and has had performances from Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks, Brad Paisley and more.
The self-taught singer took the world by storm on NBC's "The Voice" and was part of Reba McEntire's team. She finished in second place behind Season 24 winner Huntley from Niall Horan's team.
According to a Facebook post yesterday, only 960 tickets remain for the show. Over 3,000 fans have already secured their tickets.
