Charles Wesley Godwin returns to the Grand Ole Opry tonight

Charles Wesley Godwin returns to the Grand Ole Opry tonight, ahead of the release of his third album and Big Loud Records debut Family Ties, out this Friday, Sept. 22. It will be Godwin’s second Opry performance of the year, following his debut in February.

On Thursday, Sept. 21, Godwin will perform in his home state of West Virginia at Healing Appalachia, a three-show benefit for Hope in the Hills, which helps support recovery efforts around central Appalachia. Godwin joins a line-up that includes Tyler Childers, Jason Isbelland the400 Unit, Trey Anastasio, and Marcus King.

The 19-track Family Ties showcases a tunesmith at the peak of his powers – melding melody with memories, workmanship with wisdom. Godwin demo’ed the songs that would become Family Ties on a Tascam 4-track (thanks to his love for Bruce Springsteen’s seminal Nebraska) and then recorded them at one of his dream studios, Echo Mountain in Asheville, N.C. before he signed a record deal. He recorded the album with his long-time band, the Allegheny High, and long-time producer, Allegheny High guitarist Al Torrence.

Godwin is currently on the front end of a fall headline tour that runs through the end of the year. Many of the shows are already sold out, including Godwin’s first-ever headline shows at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. on Dec. 7 and 8. In 2024, Godwin will join Luke Combs on 12 dates of his Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old stadium tour. Godwin is also confirmed for the 2024 edition of Stagecoach and the first date of the two-day Buckeye Country Superfest on June 22, 2024 in Columbus, Ohio alongside Zach Bryan, Billy Strings,Turnpike Troubadours, and Charley Crockett.
