Paisley and Shelton host the program, which features performances from Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Marty Stuart, Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, Kane Brown, Old Crow Medicine Show, Darius Rucker, Lady A, Little Big Town, Carrie Underwood and the aforementioned hosts.

Performances were taped at the Opry House in Nashville, a news release said.

Viewers can expect “95 Years of Country Music” to dig into Opry archives, too. Per a news release, the show pulls archive “interviews, performances and appearances” from Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Minnie Pearl, Loretta Lynn and more.

Archival images and video to be featured include the Opry during World War II, surviving the 2010 Nashville flood and continuing to the program throughout the pandemic.
