When you are able to check “Make Opry Debut” off your bucket list, you know you are doing something right. For artists on the rise Sons of Habit, they were able to check off that major milestone last week.
The rising five-piece band from Owensboro, Kentucky, featuring Mitchell Douglas, Hagan Edge, Dalton Daniels, Jeffrey Parish and Noah Patrick, made their Grand Ole Opry debut on August 14. The five longtime friends stepped into the iconic Opry circle for an emotional three-song set that concluded with a standing ovation from the audience.
“You dream your whole life for something like this. Ever since I can remember I’ve dreamt of every little detail about this place and this moment,” shared Sons of Habit’s Mitchell Douglas from inside the circle.
Opening their Opry performance with “5:21,” the significance of the moment quickly set in as the band shed some tears while taking it all in. Sons of Habit followed with “Nostalgia” before closing with “Madeline,” the first song the band ever wrote and released, which ultimately went on to become their breakout hit.
“There’s a presence up here from the legends that you can’t even imagine,” said Sons of Habit. “For all the artists who have played this stage, thank you for keeping it world renowned.”
Friends and family were in the audience to witness the band’s career milestone, including the owner of the trailer in Habit, Kentucky, where Sons of Habit first came together to make music.
There’s something special about these five friends, and it is going to be an exciting journey getting to know them as they embark on this next chapter of their career.
