Flamekeeper on The Opry

Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper on The Grand Ole OpryThis past Friday (12/26) was Darrell Webb’s first show with Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper – and it was on The Grand Ole Opry!

Their publicist, Kimberly Williams, was on hand and got a couple of photos of the band, as well as a bit of backstage video. She tells us that the guys whipped the crowd up with their versions of Goodbye Ole Pal and The Old Brown County Barn.
