Keith Urban helped make Chris Janson’s headlining debut at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium pretty unforgettable last night, inviting him to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. After the two collaborated on the John Michael Montgomery hit “Sold,” Keith spoke about how far Chris Janson has come from playing in clubs night after night to headlining his very own show at the Ryman. Keith then recalled how incredible it felt the night he was invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry and said it was about time that Chris felt the same and become their family’s newest member. Chris then told the crowd, “The Opry is where my heart is. I could probably die if I never got to do anything else.”
While Chris Janson’s next Opry appearance is scheduled for February 20, his formal Opry induction will be scheduled for later this spring.
