NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Christian music artist, multi-Grammy award winner and Gospel Music Association award winner Steven Curtis Chapman was invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry over the weekend in Nashville.
Fellow musician and friend Ricky Skaggs invited him to join. Chapman, a Paducah native and graduate of Heath High School, expressed shock at the invitation.
"If you ever wondered 'is this a surprise?' yes I promise you, this is a massive surprise. I had no idea. No idea," Chapman said. "I am so honored and just so grateful. What an amazing family to be a part of."
Chapman's induction date has not yet been set.
