Platinum-selling Riser House/Sony Music Nashville recording artist Mitchell Tenpenny played the Grand Ole Opry tonight and provided two of his enthusiastic fans the opportunity to check an item off their ‘bucket list’ by extending an invitation to visit the Opry’s backstage.
Before Mitchell’s performance the fans, along with his members of his record label, surprised him with a gold-selling plaque for hit song “Bucket List.”
Exactly five years ago today Mitchell made his Opry debut.
The release of “Bucket List,” written by Mitchell, Chris DeStefano and Laura Veltz, was announced by People Magazine on New Year’s Day 2021.
As the world was coming out of the 2020 pandemic, Mitchell’s hope for the song was to encourage his fans to broaden their yearly resolutions into life goals, ‘love a little more, dream a little deeper.’
Mitchell recently released “Breaking My Heart,” co-written with Ashley Gorley, Chase McGill and Jordan Schmidt., as the follow up to his Top 10 hit single “We Got History.”
Mitchell is hitting the road this year with Luke Combs on the “Growin’ Up and Getting’ Old Tour” and Jordan Davis’ “The Damn Good Time Tour.
Mitchell is a multi-faceted entertainer: singer, songwriter, producer and performer.
Since the release of his debut 3X platinum-certified No 1 hit single, “Drunk Me,” he’s set new standards for breakout success in country music.
He was recognized for surpassing the One Billion streams threshold, now surpassing 1.5 Billion global streams.
Mitchell’s latest album This Is The Heavy contains the platinum-selling #1 hit “Truth About You,” a song that made chart history with shortest span between #1 songs since 1982 with just three weeks since his last chart topper.
“Truth About You” followed Mitchell’s co-penned #1 collaboration with labelmate Chris Young on the ACM Music Event nominated “At The End Of A Bar.”
Mitchell’s most recent radio single “We Got History” closed out 2023 in the Top 10.
