Several Grand Ole Opry performers mingled with fans, when veteran pianist Tim Atwood celebrated his new album with an old-fashioned after-church picnic in Hendersonville, Tennessee, on Sunday, August 14. Atwood, who was the pianist for the Opry's house band for 38 years, has released 'That Old Time Religion' (i2i Records), his first gospel album since leaving the Opry in 2014.
'That Old Time Religion' is a collection of gospel favorites performed by Atwood on piano and lead vocals, with guest artists including several of his Opry friends: Country Music Hall of Famer Bobby Bare, Mandy Barnett, Grammy-nominee Jan Howard, TG Sheppard, Kelly Lang, The Tennessee River Boys and Grammy-winner Jeannie Seely. Seely attended the event, along with Jan Howard, portrait artist Corey Frizell, singer Diane Sherrill and more.
