Well-loved NZ entertainers Lynda and Jools Topp are taking to the road with a new show that will pay homage to Country Music greats and also celebrate original Kiwi country with the next generation of alt-country music stars joining them on stage.

In a show reminiscent of the Grand Ole Opry the Topps hilarious characters the Ginghams will host the show just as the Minnie Pearls did back in Nashville in the 1930s, but with award-winning country artists Tami Neilson, Delaney Davidson and Marlon Williams, also on the bill the Grand Ole Topp'ry promises to be a very contemporary show. Other rising stars include the all-girl Johnny Cash band the Johnnys and Wellington-based duo Eb & Sparrow.

Just as Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry has changed over the years but remained a cultural institution, so have the Topp Twins – their enduring popularity is a testament to the timelessness of great entertainment.

"We wish to pay respect to the legends of country music that have gone before us and also acknowledge the next generation of musicians who have, like us, been inspired, by past greats, says Lynda Topp. “Our take on the Grand Ole Opry (Topp'ry) will celebrate country music's diversity and will be a night of rollicking good fun, foot-stomping music to live by, and connection to something larger than ourselves.”

Audiences can expect the best in country music, from rockabilly to bluegrass, comedy, gospel, and even a visitation by Country Music Hall of Famers channeled in by the Topp Twins characters.
