Beginning in the 1950’s a young Sherwin Linton was touring with the Grand Ole Opry stars on scores of shows across the United States.Today, Sherwin, his wife Pam and “The Cotton Kings” perform a dynamic tribute to the live WSM Radio Show, which began on November 27, 1925 and became the most popular live attendance radio show in American history, still being broadcast today.

Let’s not forget Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Dolly Parton and many more. In the early 1970’s Sherwin performed as a guest star on the Opry at the famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. Sherwin’s endless list of stories and songs make this an authentic account and tribute to this American art form and the “Legendary Stars” of the historic Grand Ole Opry.
