Natalie and Miguel play off of each other
When Natalie Stovall was only 12, she made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry. Now, over a decade later, she's going back - this time with her band. Understandably, she is super excited. She told The Boot, "Singing on the Opry for the first time is a surreal experience, and getting to do it twice in one lifetime is unbelievable. We can’t wait to get out on that stage!"

The group, who is signed to HitShop/Warner Brothers Records, plays an average of 200 dates a year, including college campuses, clubs and military bases all over the world. Down to earth, they are some of the nicest people in country music and a joy to interview. They believe in hard work and giving their all for their fans. Natalie said, "I want people to know it’s possible to follow your dreams. The path isn’t always easy, but honestly, it shouldn’t be. If you surround yourself with the right people, even the hardest days can be a lot of fun. Someday I hope to sell out arenas with my band, performing music we are proud to play."

Natalie Stovall and the Drive will perform at the Opry on May 6, sharing the stage with Kix Brooks, the Del McCoury Band and Christian worship leaders Keith and Kristyn Getty. More artists are expected to be added to the line-up.
