Photo Gallery of Vince Gill’s 25th Grand Ole Opry Anniversary

Posted on August 15, 2016

The nicest guy in country music, Vince Gill, celebrated his 25th anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry with two three-hour sets on Saturday night (Aug. 13).

Over the course of the two memorable shows, Vince was joined onstage by his wife, Amy Grant, and a bevy of close friends, including Rodney Crowell, Patty Loveless, The Time Jumpers, Ashley Monroe, Andrea Zonn, Bill Anderson, Jenny Gill, Paul Franklin and Charlie Worsham.

After opening the night with his classic hit “One More Last Chance,” an emotional Gill, who was inducted into the Opry on Aug. 10, 1991, welcomed everyone saying, “This evening is filled with people I hold more than dear. They have made my entire life.”

Highlights of the evening include Vince’s duet with Ashley Monroe on “You Ain’t Dolly,” as well as Patty Loveless’ performance of “Go Rest High on That Mountain” and Rodney Crowell’s boot-scootin’ version of “Oklahoma Borderline.”
