Ayla Brown at the Grand Olde Opry

A lifelong dream is coming true for Wrentham's talented, rising country artist, Ayla Brown, when she will take the stage for her debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry, Friday, May 25 at 7 pm.

In the spirit of Memorial Day, Brown will be performing “Pride Of America” and “Hero In Her Hometown,” both new songs off of her latest album, “Heroes and Hometowns.”

“When I moved to Nashville two years ago, I went to my first Opry show and was mesmerized during the entire two hours,” Brown said. “To get the opportunity to debut on that stage on Memorial Day weekend is such an honor, and I will never forget this for the rest of my life.”

Brown's past shows have included opening for country music super stars like Josh Turner, Darius Rucker, Charlie Daniels Band, Craig Morgan, and Sara Evans and Clint Black.

She will soon be opening for one of CMT’s Artists of the Year, Eric Church, this June. 

Brown has pursued a diverse range of endeavors over the span of the last six years. Her achievements include: being an American Idol Semifinalist, recording artist of four albums, national and local performances, being involved in numerous charitable causes, being a National Anthem singer for the Philadelphia 76ers, and being a national news correspondent for The Early Show on CBS from February 2010-February 2012. 

From 2006-2010, Brown was a NCAA Division 1 Student/Athlete and earned a BA in communications from Boston College. She is also the daughter of former United States Senator, Scott Brown, and long-time television reporter, Gail Huff.
