Vince Gill, who was at the SiriusXM Studio as a guest for a recent taping of T. Graham Brown‘s show “Live Wire,” invited the veteran country hitmaker to join the Grand Ole Opry.

“BREAKING: @VGcom has invited @TGrahamBrown to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry!” a post from the Opry’s official X account reads.

Responding to Gill’s invitation, Graham said through tears of joy, “Awww, man. That’s amazing, Vince. Oh my goodness. Please tell me you’re not kidding me. This is the greatest thing. You don’t know what that means to me. I so wanted this; you just don’t know. I’m so proud of the Opry. I’m just so proud to be there every time. I’ve never taken it for granted. It’s just amazing.”

“They love you,” Gill said. “That’s a special place, and you’ll be a valued part of that place. I didn’t mean to make you cry. Congratulations!”

“T. Graham Brown feels like family every single time he walks through the backstage doors of the Grand Ole Opry House,” shared Dan Rogers, Opry executive producer. “He adds a special spirit and a great performance to every Opry show he’s part of. It’s not lost on me that immediately after having been invited to join the Opry at the SiriusXM studios, within minutes he was on the road to the Opry for yet another performance, adding to his 300+ count of Opry appearances.”
