Thank you to Jeannie Seely for always believing in us, and giving us this opportunity! Thank you to The Grand Ole Opry for making this first appearance so special and allowing us to play on “THE STAGE” of Country Music! Thank you to all of our fans from our hometown and from all over the globe who helped us celebrate this special evening by being in the crowd, or tuned in over the radio. But most importantly, I want to shout praises to our God! He has given us our talent, and has put us right where we need to be, when we need to be there! I can’t wait to see what He has in store for us next. To be gifted with two standing ovations from the Grand Ole Opry audience is the most humbling experience I’ve ever felt!”

And then it happened and it was everything we thought it would be and more!!! Two standing ovations!!
“As I watched from the wings Saturday night, Cutter & Cash and The Kentucky Grass looked more to me like seasoned professionals than teenagers making their first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. They looked the part, sounded the part, and gave off an air of confidence that said, “This is where we belong.” After two standing ovations, I can say the audience agreed with me. This may have been their first time, but it won’t be their last,” added Whisperin’ Bill Anderson.
