NASHVILLE, TN. (Rounder Records) - Rounder Records bluegrass group The Grascals will make their Grand Ole Opry debut on February 4 and 5, performing on all three Opry shows that weekend during the Opry's two-month return to the hallowed stage of the Ryman Auditorium. Superstar Dolly Parton will introduce and perform with the band during Grand Ole Opry Live, airing on Great American Country on Saturday, February 5, at 8:00 PM ET/PT.
"This is literally a dream come true for all of us," said singer/guitarist Jamie Johnson. "We couldn't ask for more than to make our Opry debut, with Dolly Parton, at the Ryman."

The Grascals also make their prominent debut in Country Weekly as the "Who's New" feature in the issue currently on stands (Jan. 17).
The Grascals will release their self-titled debut album on Rounder Records on February 8.
