The grandson of Hall of Fame entertainer Floyd Cramer, Jason Coleman continues to uphold his Grandad's legacy while branding himself a standout entertainer in his own right, thrilling sold-out concert crowds with the 'slip-note' technique his grandad made famous. Through his live shows, WSM Radio show and TV show, Coleman continues to bridge generations and spotlight the history of the beautiful music made by his Grandad on the recordings of Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline and his own signature hits.

Coleman has been growing his audience generously since 2020 when he launched his weekly online television show, The Jason Coleman Show. Over the past 4 years, the hour of music and conversation from his own living room has generated millions of views each week. The television show has now expanded to streaming, not only on Jason's YouTube page (YouTube.com/JasonColemanMusic), but also on Country Road TV. And Coleman also launched another version of The Jason Coleman Show for radio listeners which airs every Sunday evening on the world famous WSM Radio.

Currently, Jason Coleman's fall tour is underway with 25 concerts in 14 states.

At age 19, Jason was given the honor of playing for his grandfather’s posthumous induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Over the nearly two decades that have followed, Jason has spent his career in the studio and on stage, including entertaining on the world famous Grand Ole Opry.

About Jeannie Seely:

Early in her career, Jeannie Seely’s soul-inspired vocals were praised by music industry professionals and resulted Seely being named “Miss Country Soul, a title still used today. Ken Burns of PBS called Seely's voice “emotion packed" in a biography of her music. In 2019 Seely added the title of “Doctor” to her name when she was awarded an honorary Doctor of Arts from Lincoln Memorial University for her many groundbreaking accomplishments in the music industry and her support and encouragement of new talent. She is the oldest actively working female in country music.

After moving from her home state of Pennsylvania to California, Seely received the “Most Promising Female Artist” award in 1964 from the Country and Western Academy (later becoming the Academy of Country Music). A year later Seely moved to Nashville where she signed with Monument Records, and her chart-topping hit “Don’t Touch Me” resulted in Seely becoming only the third female country artist to receive a Grammy Award. Seely received Most Promising New Artist awards from Cashbox, Record World, and Billboard, and went on to score records on Billboard’s country singles chart for 13 consecutive years.

On September 16, 1967, Jeannie Seely was inducted as a member of the world-famous Grand Ole Opry. She was the first Pennsylvania native to become an Opry member, and then later became the first female to regularly host Opry segments. Widely recognized for changing the image of female country performers, Seely became the first person to wear a mini skirt on the Opry stage. Seely made history again in 2022 by being named the artist with the most performances in the Grand Ole Opry’s history. To date she has performed over 5,300 times.

A BMI-awarded songwriter, Seely’s songs have been recorded by Country Music Hall of Fame members including Dottie West, Merle Haggard, Connie Smith, Ray Price, Willie Nelson, Faron Young, Ernest Tubb, Little Jimmy Dickens, and Hank Williams Jr., as well as by artists ranging from Irma Thomas, the “Soul Queen of New Orleans,” to Rhonda Vincent, the “Queen of Bluegrass,” and from Boys II Men to Seal. Seely’s composition titled “Yours” was named “Song of the Year” at the 2022 Arkansas Country Music Awards.

With fellow Opry member Jack Greene, Jeannie formed one of the most successful duets and road shows in country music history. The Grammy-nominated duo performed everywhere from New York City’s Madison Square Garden to London’s Wembley Arena, and they were considered forerunners in bringing country music to wider audiences around the world.

The star of major stage productions including Always, Patsy Cline, The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, and several others, Seely also appeared in the movie Changing Hearts. Seely has served as a radio disc jockey on her own Armed Forces Network, traveled on military tours throughout Europe and Asia, and published her own book titled Pieces Of A Puzzled Mind.

Seely’s recordings have spanned seven decades from her Top 10 Billboard album The Seely Style to her Curb Records album An American Classic which includes her third duet with friend Willie Nelson. Seely appeared in Nelson’s movie Honeysuckle Rose and sang on the platinum soundtrack album. In 2018 Seely began hosting her own weekly show “Sundays with Seely” on the Willie’s Roadhouse channel of SiriusXM.

In 2018 Seely received her own “Star” in the Music City Walk of Fame which represents all genres of music. At the inaugural Influencing Women Awards Gala in 2019, Jeannie Seely was presented the first “Standing Ovation Award,” and then Seely’s name was added to the award.

In 2022 Seely was recognized on the nationally televised Country Music Association (CMA) Awards Show, in 2023 she received the CMA’s prestigious Joe Talbot Award, and in 2024 she was honored by SOURCE with the esteemed Jo Walker-Meador Lifetime Achievement Award. Following Seely’s 5,381st performance on the Opry in September 2024, the “Jeannie Seely Interchange” was dedicated at the Briley Parkway exit to the Grand Ole Opry House.

About Charlie McCoy:

A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry, Charlie McCoy helped brand Nashville as Music City.

There are numerous super-session musicians in Nashville, but very few with the longevity of Charlie McCoy. In addition to being a fixture in Nashville studios for 60 years, he also has his own recording career going full tilt. (He has recorded 44 solo albums.) He served as the music director for eighteen years for the syndicated television series, “Hee Haw”.

Charlie McCoy began working sessions in the early 60s, one of the first being “Candy Man” by Roy Orbison. “Forty nine dollars”, says Charlie. That’s how much I was paid for that session back in 1961. “It got Roy another hit and me a career. For a twenty year old to make $49 for three hours work back then, it was a dream.

Shortly after the release of “Candy Man”, Charlie became one of the in-demand session players in Nashville. His session credits are literally a who’s who of country music. For a fifteen year stretch, he did more than 400 sessions a year. A grand total would number more than 14,000. (and he’s still going) In the last thirty years, he has been touring more with many appearances in Europe and Japan.

In addition to country sessions, Charlie was a mainstay on Elvis Presley recordings both in Nashville and Los Angeles. When Bob Dylan recorded “Highway 61”, “Blond On Blond”, “John Wesley Harding”, and “Nashville Skyline”, Charlie was there, playing on these land-mark recordings. He was also heard on Simon and Garfunkle’s “The Boxer” in addition to many hits from genres other than country music.

Charlie McCoy began recording for Monument Records in the late 60s and recorded 14 albums for the label, beginning with “The World Of Charlie McCoy”. He won the Grammy in 1972 for his album, “The Real McCoy”. He won CMA’s “Instrumentalist Of The Year” two times and the Academy Of Country Music’s “Specialty Instrument Award” seven times. He is a member of the “International Musician’s Hall Of Fame” and the “West Virginia Music Hall Of Fame”. Charlie has had 10 country chart singles, a number 1 album, a number 2 album, and 14 charted albums.

In addition to making his own recordings, Charlie was a member of a legendary recording band, “Area Code 615”. The band featured many of the top session players in Nashville.

While Charlie is predominately known as a harmonica player, his musical prowess encompasses other instruments including guitar, bass, mallet percussion, (vibes, marimba, bells, etc.), keyboards, and various wind instruments.

Charlie has toured in Europe and Japan regularly since 1989 and has released albums in France, Denmark, Germany and the Czech Republic.

In addition to “Hee Haw”, Charlie served a music director for other television shows including “The Colgate Country Showdown” and “The Arthritus Telethon”. He was in the house band for the TNN show “Music City Tonight” with Crook and Chase.

Charlie was given the “Musician” award from the “Reunion Of Professional Entertainers” in 1994, elected to the German-American Country Music Hall Of Fame in 1998, The Hall Of Fame of the North American Country Music Association International in 2000, the International Musicians’ Hall Of Fame and the Old Time Country Music Hall of fame in 2007, and the West Virginia Music Hall Of fame in 2008. 

In 2009, Charlie was inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame along with Roy Clark and Barbara Mandrell. In 2022, Charlie was inducted to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
