Surrounded by family, friends, and longtime fans, Natalie Stovall and The Drive made their Grand Ole Opry debut on Tuesday, May 6th.

The critically acclaimed band’s debut album, produced by GRAMMY winner Paul Worley (The Band Perry, Dixie Chicks, Lady Antebellum), is expected this fall on HitShop Records. The lead track, “Baby Come On With It,” is currently climbing the charts and is available now at iTunes. The official music video for the track is available HERE.
