Jeannie Seely

Early in her career, Jeannie Seely’s compelling vocals resulted in hit recordings, Grand Ole Opry membership, the title of “Miss Country Soul,” and a strong impact on changing the image of female country performers. The first female to regularly host Opry segments and the first Opry member from Pennsylvania, Jeannie today holds the distinction of having performed on the Grand Ole Opry more than any other artist – she has made over 5,360 Opry performances! Only the third female in country music history to receive a Grammy Award, Jeannie is also a BMI-awarded songwriter, producer, author, actress, and host – including her own weekly show on SiriusXM. Jeannie’s accolades, including a star in the Music City Walk of Fame and the CMA’s Joe Talbot Award, demonstrate the impact she’s made. The only female to receive an honorary Nashville Musicians Union lifetime membership, Jeannie’s also received Lincoln Memorial University’s most prestigious recognition, an honorary Doctor of Arts degree.
