Parker McCollum Gets Opry Debut Invite From Dierks Bentley

by jwills | January 24, 2021

Parker McCollum ended 2020 strong, with his song “Pretty Heart” hitting the number-one spot on the country airplay charts.

Now, he’s getting his 2021 up and running in a big way – not only does he have a new single, and video, out, “To Be Loved By You,” but turns out he’ll also be making his Grand Ole Opry debut this year!

February 6th, 2021, Parker will be taking the Opry stage for the very first time. Of course this is an offer that he would never turn down, but getting asked was made a little sweeter because the invite was extended by Dierks Bentley.

Check out the moment when Dierks, who will also be there the night of the 6th, facetimed Parker to invite him to his Opry debut.
