On Saturday, Holly G.’s efforts will be on display when the Black Opry she later founded holds a live performance at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Winston-Salem. Holly G., 35, describes the Black Opry, which has no central location, as a collective that connects Black country artists to gigs nationwide. Since its founding in 2021, the collective has performed at Luck Reunion, held on the Texas ranch of country legend Willie Nelson, and launched a record label, Black Opry Records, in Oct. 2024.
