Last night during his performance at the Opry, Capitol Nashville recording artist Darius Rucker was invited to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. Darius was surprised on stage by former tour mate Brad Paisley, and seemed truly shocked- he even shed a few tears and had to compose himself before returning to his performance. Darius will formally be inducted into the Opry on Oct 16th, and we couldn't be happier for him. Congrats from all of us at 97.3 the Dawg!
