“The Grand Ole Opry introduced me to so much music over the years, so leading into this album’s release it was important to me that we start it off right,” shared Ray, who will perform select songs with his full band, live from the Opry House stage.

It will be a full-Opry-circle moment for Ray. The album is named for his treasured grandfather who used to test Ray’s knowledge of country music history and the legends. Ray honed his honest appreciation for the format playing in his grandfather’s band in the cow-towns of central Florida. His grandfather passed away two months before Ray’s first appearance on the legendary Opry stage and Ray has said that his memory was central to the creation of Amos.

“My grandfather and dad always told me, ‘When you are climbing the ladder, stop on one of the rungs and see where you are – and where you have been.’ I don’t want to take anything for granted or miss an opportunity to acknowledge how much this means to me,” he explained

The album preview just days before its official release is an intimate performance for fans and all of those who follow the Opry across social media. Fans across social media will be able to submit questions in real-time to be answered by Ray during the livestream between songs hosted by Opry Entertainment producer Jill Wilderman.

Ray will also perform on the Opry’s stage on Saturday, June 2 then make his debut at Opry City Stage in New York City’s Times Square on Monday, June 4.

The morning of his Opry City Stage performance, Ray will perform on both ABC’s “Good Morning America” and make his daytime debut on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” performing “Get to You.”

he Top 15 and climbing song follows Ray’s two previous No. 1 songs from his self-titled debut. The single features an imploring performance by Ray, with an emotional delivery that speaks to the heartbreak of finding walls in a relationship when what you crave is an open door.
