Into the Circle: Adam Hood Debuts at the Grand Ole Opry

Into the Circle: Adam Hood Debuts at the Grand Ole Opry

Erik Guthrie

Were it possible to feel history, to taste inspiration, to breath in awe and amazement, all in one simultaneous instant, the place to experience those sensations would be in Nashville’s historic Grand Ole Opry. After 97 years of bringing the best that Country music has to offer to the masses, this well-oiled machine is something to behold. The inviting, warm shimmer of the polished oak and mahogany; the soft gleam of gold and brass; twinkling lights and WSM radio over-head, all welcoming you into the most lasting of memories. These are the marvels and wonders for guests and audiences entering the celebrated building. And while debut artists participate in all this same spectacle, their experience is that much more internal, as they enjoy the opportunity to join Opry history on their first visit to the stage.

Adam Hood: Bad Days Better

Derek Scudder

Adam Hood is a self-avowed maker of Southern songs. “One of the t-shirts I sell at every show simply says ‘Southern songs’ and that's a good summary of what I do. It's what I've always done." When Hood’s lyrics are not actually checking off the names of cities around the South they still speak from the perspectives of the best of our Southern writers. "It's southern music," he says, "That's what it represents: the soulful side of southern music, the country side of southern music, the genuineness of southern culture, and the way I grew up.”
