CIRCLE SESSIONS: Intimate Access, Iconic Artists

Circle Sessions offers a more personal look at country music’s leading artists, featuring intimate discussions and behind-the-scenes moments. Filmed in and around the Opry’s circle, the series highlights the stories behind the music, featuring artists including Lady A, Dierks Bentley, Thomas Rhett, Brothers Osborne, Chris Young, and more.

Together, Opry Live and Circle Sessions offer country music fans both the performances they love and the intimate moments behind the music. The stories shared between songs and the glimpses behind the curtain of some of the genre’s biggest names create a deeper connection for viewers. For audiences who see country music as more than entertainment, these series deliver an experience that goes far beyond performances, making RFD-TV a natural home for this programming.

“Our audience has always had a deep connection to country music and the stories behind it,” said Raquel Gottsch Koehler, co-owner and Chief Marketing and Creative Officer. “Bringing Opry Live and Circle Sessions to RFD-TV gives viewers direct access to one of the most important stages in music, in a way that feels authentic to both the artists and the audience.”

“In its 100th year, we are focused on making the Opry experience more accessible than ever before by reaching audiences across the country and far beyond our stage,” said Patrick Moore, CEO of Opry Entertainment Group. “The Opry has always connected with fans across platforms on radio, television, streaming, and beyond. Expanding these series to RFD-TV allows us to connect with a passionate and engaged audience that values country music’s history, artistry, and future.”
