Lisa Marie Presley is a very busy woman these days. The only child of Elvis and Priscilla, is busy promoting her new CD "Storm and Grace," but she also will make an appearance in Memphis for Elvis Week 2012.
Oh, not only that, she will make her Grand Ole
Opry debut on Aug. 21. A daunting task for any performer, but with her pedigree, it takes on a greater meaning, perhaps.
Lisa Marie will make her debut on the Grand Ole Opry on Aug. 21. Her father, Elvis, made his only appearance on the Opry stage, Oct. 2, 1954, He performed "Blue Moon of Kentucky," and that appearance has become legendary. Among others playing the Opry Aug. 21 are Rascal Flatts, Del McCoury Band and The Time Jumpers.
