The Grand Ole Opry is a weekly American country music stage concert in Nashville, Tennessee, founded on November 28, 1925, by George D. and Currently owned and operated by Opry entertainment. It is the longest-running radio broadcast in US history.

It was a monumental achievement for The Isaacs to be invited to the Grand Ole Opry.

The Isaacs History

The group has roots that go back to 1971. This was when Joe and Lily Isaacs began a bluegrass band. Lily’s parents are Polish Jewish Holocaust survivors.

A few years after being liberated from a concentration camp in Germany in 1945, her parents moved two old Lily to New York City. In 1958, Lily got her recording contract with Colombia Records and started performing in nightclubs.

While performing with his Kentucky band at “Gerde’s Folk City,” Joe met Lily, who married in 1970. Joe and Lily became Christians after Joe’s brother died in an automobile accident. This was when the group began to perform only bluegrass gospel music.

The group was initially named the “Calvary Mountain Boys” and later became the “Sacred Bluegrass” before settling on the Isaacs’ family name.

The group performed many on weekends, part-time, until 1986. As their son and daughters became old enough, they joined the group. The Isaacs were then officially founded in 1992.
