going to be performing and where this is all going
to be taking place. Tell us all about it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Okay. So I get to be a part of the
Gaylord Aupreylands Country Christmas Dinner Show series this year. I'm
performing seventeen shows. It's called It's Christmas Cheers. And you know,
I put out a Christmas album in twenty twenty and
didn't really get to promote it a lot to do
a lot of shows around it for obvious reasons. So
I'm really excited. I get to play songs from this
album seventeen nights, and you also get dinner and there
(00:43):
it's a culinary dinner. It's a very nice, fancy, great
dinner and a show. And for those of you who
know anything about Apryland at Christmas time, it's just lit up.
There are millions of lights. They do the ice sculpture
show and this year the theme is Frosty. There's a
forty eight foot tall tree, you know, and there's a
(01:03):
sledding hill and a skating rink and if you want
to get into the spirit, come to the show, have
a great dinner. It's all encompassing. It's all right there.
You can walk around everything, and it's just My show
is going to be in the Tennessee Ballroom. For those
of you who think it might be at the Opry,
it's not actually at the Aubrey, but it's in the
same complex, so it's it's all very accessible.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yes, absolutely, seventeen Terry. They are giving you hoppin.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
They are And you know my shows are twenty third
of November, twenty fourth, twenty seventh through the thirtieth, and
then they pick up again December one fourth through the sixth,
and then the seventeenth through the twenty second, and the
shows that I am not doing, the frontmen are going
to be doing in between, so it's constant, you know,
it's consistent between November and pretty much up till Christmas day. Z.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
That's incredible. And now also you've recently released a star
Suded album. You collaborated with so many artists I did.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I re recorded some of my old hits and out
an album called Take Two. It's only available digitally, so
those of you who are looking for a cassette or
a CD or an eight track or are not going
to find it there. But yeah, but I had a
great time singing some of my older hits with Cody Johnson,
Kelly Clarkson, Landy Wilson, Ashley McBride, Carly Pearce, Laurena Laana,
(02:20):
Ben Rector, Like, we had such a great time with this,
and some of the songs were kind of more true
to the original version and some we completely revamped, like
the Cody Johnson I Just Want to Be Mad sounds
like it could be a hit today. And it's a
great duet. I mean, he's mad at her, she's mad
at him. It just makes a great conversation and changes
the tone of the way the song was originally intended
(02:42):
to be completely nice.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
What does Christmas look like for Terry Clark any fun
traditions or anything.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
My traditions are usually around food. I make shortbread, cookies,
I make the same meals that with the same things
that my mom and my grandmother used to have on
Christmas Eve. I usually do a traditional turkey dinner Christmas Day,
you know, opening presents Christmas Morning that Santa brought and
Christmas Eve you get one or two, but Santa didn't
bring that. You're just exchanging with the people that are there.
(03:11):
And you know, I used to go Christmas carolling a lot.
Like there's just I absolutely love the Christmas season. There's
something about the spirit of Christmas that's in everybody. Everyone's
a little nicer, kinder, a little more aware of what's
going on around them, unless they're trying to get to
a toy that they can't find, and then they get angry.
But it's just it's every We're all children at Christmas
(03:34):
in some way, and if you have kids that then
that's even better because you know, I just I love it.
I'm one of these people that'll put like jingle bells
on my dog, so you know I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, speaking of I'm sure your outfits for these performances
at the Opera Land, I mean, I'm sure they're going
to be pretty spicy and all pretty decked out.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I don't know that I have ever dressed spicy. I'm
one of the few that hasn't dressed spicy. But no,
I yes, I do. I have. I have some really
great outfits that that I'm super comfortable in, and some
you know, golds and reds and sparkly things, and we'll
have trees on stage. And you know, my my album
(04:18):
I recorded with the Time Jumpers, so they played all
the music on the album. It's got a very nostalgic
throwback feel to it. It feels it feels like Christmas musically.
It's not like, it doesn't sound like I took. It's
not a contemporary sounding record. It's got a real old
old time feel to it, which I think is what
(04:38):
Christmas is about. I mean, yeah, I mean when you
watch movies like It's a Wonderful Life, and you know
some of those classics, you think about that's what we
listened to. A lot of us listen to Christmas music
that was made in the forties, fifties and sixties and seventies.
You know, yeah, go way back with it exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And by the way, the It's a Wonderful Life is
Dave's favorite Christmas movie as it is.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I love it, struck, I love that. I love that. Well.
We talk a lot about movies and Christmas television shows
like Claymation that we grew up with. During the show
and you know it's it's a kind of a walk
down memory lane from beginning to end. And I'm also
going to play some of my hits. You'll probably hear
Better Things to Do and Girl Fly To and Poor
Pitiful Me. I can't leave those out there.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I really I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
