Please join Armed Forces Entertainment as they wrap up the 2021 Heat Wave shows with a very special two part performance hosted by the Grand Ole Opry!  Both episodes will premiere on 29 June 2021 at 6pm EST on AFE's social platforms!

For Episode 1, Natalie Stovall hosts Luke Combs, Lauren Alaina, and Chris Young in “Grand Ole Opry Salutes America’s Heroes,” an exclusive Heat Wave virtual concert shot at the historic and legendary venue in Nashville, Tennessee. These artists take the stage in Episode 1 of AFE's two-part Heat Wave grand finale. Named one of CMT’s “Next Woman of Country,” Natalie Stovall introduces us to the performers who help AFE celebrate #AFE’s 70th Anniversary and all of the deployed men and women in the U.S. Military. Luke Combs is a veteran performer of the Grand Ole Opry, as well as a long-standing supporter of our men and women abroad. Lauren Alaina is a Georgia native and runner-up of American Idol’s season 10. Chris Young may have started his career crooning at Cowboys Dancehall in Dallas, Texas, but is a Grand Ole Opry member as of 2017.

For Episode two GRAMMY award-winning group, Lady A, has released countless chart-toppers, and the trio reigns as one of country’s best contemporary group acts. “Every Little Thing” artist Carly Pearce has a deep love for bluegrass and is well known for her sultry country-pop and songwriting. Writer and performer of the patriotic hit “God Bless the U.S.A,” Lee Greenwood is a country star whose music runs deep with American soul.
