When it comes to the phrase "overnight success," Oliver Anthony is now the gold standard that all artists that come after him will be measured against. From total unknown to mega-viral in the space of one week in August, he went from being a Virginia farmer and factory worker to having the #1 song in the country in just a couple of weeks. And the freight train that is his music career has shown zero signs of slowing down. Yesterday Anthony posted a pic to Instagram of him standing in front of the artist entrance at the Grand Ole Opry. The caption says it all: "You know what this means...Thrilled to perform on December 16th at the Opry!" We're betting his Grand Ole Opry debut will feature at least one song that everyone will know the words to.
