Opry

On May 25, 2013, Ayla Brown made her Grand Ole Opry debut in Nashville, TN. This was a memorable day for Brown as she shared the stage with artists such as Vince Gill and Steve Wariner. Brown sang two songs from her Heroes and Hometowns CD for her debut including her current single, “Pride of America.” During “Hero in her Hometown” Ayla welcomed 17 female soldiers from Ft. Campbell’s 101st Airborne Division. The audience immediately stood up and gave Ayla and the soldiers a standing ovation, and they remained standing until the last note of the song.

INTOUCH-As a struggling country singer, former American Idol finalist Ayla Brown dreamed that one day she’d get the chance to stand on stage at the historic Grand Ole Opry in Nashville – and on May 25 that dream came true!

The 24-year-old, who made Idol’s top 16 in 2006, performed two songs from her new album, Heroes & Hometowns, on a bill that included country legend Vince Gill. And her proud papa, former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown, was in the audience to watch his little girl perform.

“I have been working incredibly hard since moving to Nashville two years ago and this is proof that hard work really does pay off,” Ayla says.

The 6-foot tall brunette has been busy since leaving Idol, releasing four albums, playing basketball for the NCAA and singing the national anthem at Philadephia 76ers games, and says that her work ethic comes from her 53-year-old dad – “he’s the hardest worker I know!”
Right now the former senator (who famously embarrassed his daughter on election night in 2010 by announcing she was “available”) is focused on a goal of his own – to join Ayla on stage one day. “He’s been taking guitar lessons and has been working really hard on my song ‘Pride of America,’” Ayla says.

That single will be released on July 4, so the former model (and Cosmopolitan magazine’s Sexiest Man of 1982) had better start brushing up on his chords!
