Song List


We have 450 songs on the playlist that the band knows. Some may still require considerable rehearsal if the band has not played them in a long time.

The Kentucky Opry band reads and plays by "Nashville Number System Charts." Songs on our list have charts.

For any new song not on our list, Cody Campbell will make a number chart for $15 each. We will listen to any song not on the list and determine whether we can play it or not first.

PLEASE NOTE: The band as a whole makes the decisions on whether or not we will be able to learn a song in the allotted amount of time on rehearsal night. We ask you to please have a minimum of three song choices ready in the event that we don't have enough time to learn your song. Each contestant is allowed to do a run-through of their song; however, time does not allow for the band to work out a complicated arrangement on a song.
