Columbia Nashville/River House’s Jameson Rodgers made his Grand Ole Opry debut earlier this week. Rodgers performed a few of his hits including “Missing One,” and “Some Girls,” which recently surpassed 35m streams, in addition to an unreleased ballad “Desert.”

“I moved to Nashville nine years ago and I made some goals for myself. One was to sign a record deal, the other was to write a hit song, and the other was to play the Grand Ole Opry. 2019 has been my year,” says the Mississippi native and former college baseball player, who is also a co-writer on Chris Lane’s Top 2 track “I Don’t Know About You.”

Slated as the opening act for Luke Combs’ Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour, Rodgers returned to touring as the fall leg kicked off on Thursday in Rodgers, AR. Some venues Rodgers will be opening at include a two-night stint at The Greek Theatre in L.A. and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
