Free Concert: Black Opry feat. Larry Ladale

Details

Headliner(8:30pm): Black Opry

Black Opry is a home for Black artists and Black fans of country, blues, folk, and Americana music. Country music has been made by and loved by Black people since it’s conception. For just as long, we have been overlooked and disregarded in the genre by fans and executives. Black Opry wants to change that. We invite you to discover, support and enjoy Black artists with us. One of the most valuable aspects of country music is its versatility and diversity in sound. Country, blues, folk, and Americana music often overlap or weave together- our artists explore all of those sounds and intersections. Offered in two formats, writers rounds and festival sets, the Black Opry Revue showcases the diversity in sound and stories that Black artists offer to these genres. This revue style performance will include Autumn Nicholas, Nicky Diamonds, The Kentucky Gentlemen, Tylar Bryant and Ping Rose.

Opening Artist (7:30pm): Larry Ladale

“Larry Ladale, Arlington’s native son, offers the city a unique perspective through his music and performances. Energetic and inspiring, Larry reminds us all how to endure hardship while maintaining a positive outlook through creation. We are proud to claim him as a fellow Texan, and look forward to what he will bring next.” – Arlington Citizen Media
If you love the joy and flash of 80’s rock, the grit of blues, solace of gospel with the bounce of pop and funk, Larry Ladale is what you need. He has spread his positivity and love to venues such as the The Deli in Norman, OK, Troy’s @ Texas Live Arlington and the House of Blues Dallas. The message is simple: God is real and miracles happen. There is hope in darkness and when the sun finally shines, bathe in the light.
