MCA Nashville singer/songwriter Catie Offerman made her Grand Ole Opry debut this past weekend (9/2). Sporting a gold glittery gown and a Texas-sized smile, Offerman stepped into the historic circle at the Grand Ole Opry to perform for the first time. Offerman, showed off her talent as a multi-instrumentalist by playing her fiddle and guitar on her songs “Happyland Trailer Park” and “Don’t Do It In Texas.”
“I just got finished playing my Opry debut and honestly, I can’t believe it’s over because I feel like I’ve prepared for this my whole life, and it was over just like that. It’s just so surreal to be part of this country music family, something that I’ve dreamed about for years, and I even talked to my grandparents about. And here I am, I did it and I can’t wait to do it again!” says Offerman. “It is so special to have my family here, they came all the way from Texas, 15 hours in the car with their chihuahuas, just to be here. It’s just really sweet because it’s a long haul and it was amazing knowing that they were out there supporting me, though they’ve supported me my whole life. Whether it’s been me playing in smokey bars in Austin or God knows where in Texas, pizza restaurants, polka gigs, all the way to the Opry they’ve been there for me. So, this is really special to share this moment with them.”
