Those who don't like the festival atmosphere might just come for the music.

We wanted to expand a little bit and do something different.

I thought they might be a good addition.

It's a neater atmosphere because the ground slopes back there. People can sit up on the hill and look down on the musicians. People can spread out on the little hill of The Glen.

I just love where I am right now in my career. I love country music. I don't ever feel restricted by the genre. I've been able to have a solid career that we've built one step at a time and a family. I know that I'm in a good place.

It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.
