The Grand Ole Oprah

If you haven't heard of Ryan Holladay trust me you will. Even if you are not a bluegrass fan you have to agree this kid is incredible.

He had already made a name for himself as the youngest performer on the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 5 and has appeared on it again many times since. Now at the ripe old age of 11 he just made his debut on national daytime television with an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show. The appearance was part of a show called The World's Most Talented Kids and Ryan performed Shuckin the Corn from his own latest project Old Soul.
Also appearing on the program were pop singer Mandy Moore, hip hop artist Bow Wow and many other talented kids from all over the world. I am not sure when this episode will be shown in Ireland and Europe so check your local listing there.

Ryan is heading into the studio soon as well to work on a new album called Ryan Holladay and Friends which will feature many well known Country and Bluegrass artists. I can't wait. It is just another bit of proof, as if we needed any, that Bluegrass is in the safe hands of all generations and will be around as long as music itself.
