Nashville is preparing for a historic milestone as all the gold in California finds its way to the Ryman Auditorium for an all-star tribute to the Gatlin Brothers. On Monday, February 23, 2026, the legendary trio of Larry, Steve, and Rudy will celebrate their 70th anniversary at the Mother Church of Country Music. This remarkable journey began in 1955 and continues to feature all original members as they honor seven decades of family harmonies and chart-topping hits. The evening promises to be a career-defining celebration for the Grammy-winning group who helped shape the sound of country music through classics like “Broken Lady” and “Houston (Means I’m One Day Closer to You)”.
A massive lineup of country legends and close friends will take the stage to perform the group’s greatest hits alongside the renowned backing band Sixwire. Honored guests including The Oak Ridge Boys, Big & Rich, and Lorrie Morgan will join a diverse roster that features Lee Greenwood, Mark Wills, and The Isaacs. The night also includes special appearances by Gary Sinise and Nancy Jones to acknowledge Larry Gatlin’s incredible legacy as a songwriter for icons like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. This formal recognition follows Larry’s induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and highlights the trio’s enduring influence on the global music community after seventy years of making music together.
