When amazing things happen, Old Dominion has always set out to amplify the magic. To celebrate their historic record setting seven years in a row Country Music Association “Vocal Group of the Year” award, the band of brothers (and songwriters) wanted to anchor their hometown roots and make the world better for those in need.

Given their love of performing and the ardent Odies passion for intimate settings, the band reached out to Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium to secure enough days to create a seven show residency; the goal is to share with the seven charities the band has been actively engaged with over their career.

“When you’re looking at the Oak Ridge Boys, who are a lot like Mount Rushmore,” says lead singer/guitarist Matthew Ramsey, “you realize what an incredible family you’re a part of. To have won this award, which they’ve won, Alabama’s won, the Chicks won, so many great bands have won, let alone seven times in a row, that’s a blessing.

“At this point, the best way to celebrate something like this – for us – is to play, to give ourselves and the fans a way to come together in these songs and to help raise resources for some great charities that are out there spreading goodness around trying to help people. But rather than doing a big show, we wanted to give ourselves the permission to strip it all the way back, create songwriter-type shows that aren’t about production, but the songs; to take even more requests and be spontaneous, to create once in a lifetime experiences every single show.

“Where better to do that than at the Ryman?”

Ridiculously small plays for the arena-sized headliners who spent last year holding down festivals all over the country. For fans who remember seeing the band at guitar pulls or bars that weren’t packed to the rafters, this is the more artistic side of the band known for “I Was On A Boat That Day,” “Break Up With Him,” “Memory Lane” and more.

For Matthew Ramsey, Brad Tursi, Trevor Rosen, Geoff Sprung and Whit Sellers , it’s a gift to play in this configuration. They get to give Odies stripped down shows; with each providing a meaningful gift to one of their charities: MusiCares, Save The Music. Backline Care, the Opry Trust Fund, CMA Foundation, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the The Ramsey Foundation.

“How crazy is it? Do something fun, help causes you really love and believe in? Sign us up! We can’t wait. We’re getting all the ideas together – but obviously, bring your signs. See all the Odies at the Ryman in February. It’s gonna be awesome.”
