Country Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry icon Randy Travis is set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his debut album, Storms Of Life, at the Nashville Palace on Wednesday, June 3rd.
The event will see fans and friends of Travis enjoy live music, featuring a honky-tonk band led by longtime friends Steve and Becky Hinson.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Travis, who was told he was "too country" for Nashville, performed regularly at the Nashville Palace under his birth name, Randy Traywick, and later under the stage name Randy Ray.
"In honor of the Storms of Life album and years of Randy Travis and The Nashville Palace, the front room will be renamed, forever and ever, The Randy Travis Room," shared Barrett Hobbs, owner of the Nashville Palace and grandson of John A. Hobbs.
Storms of Life became the first debut country album to achieve platinum sales status. Travis' first No. 1 single, "On the Other Hand," paved the way for his next standout track, "Digging Up Bones," which spent two weeks at No. 1. Later that year, Travis was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in December 1986, becoming one of the youngest members ever inducted at the time.
