The Grand Ole Opry has been connecting the country music family for 100 years, and I'm so proud to be part of this historic celebration," said Blake Shelton in a statement.

Opry 100: A Live Celebration will feature performances from the Grand Ole Opry House and Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, the Mother Church of Country Music and the Opry's most famous former home.
