Wendy Moten and Stephanie Urbina Jones

From the iconic listening room of the Bluebird Cafe to the largest soccer field in the U.S. to the stage that made country music famous around the world, Stephanie Urbina Jones and the Honky Tony Mariachi were invited to share their history-making sound to celebrate Hispanic Heritage at these iconic Nashville landmarks.

“’Rhinestone Cowboy’ was all over the radio and a cultural phenomenon when I was growing up,” said Dan Rogers, Vice President/Executive Producer, Grand Ole Opry. “Listening to Stephanie and Wendy collaborating on ‘Rhinestone Cowgirl’ on the Opry, I was amazed both by how things have changed since then and also by how much has stayed the same. One thing they’ve proven is unchanged — when the right singer finds the right song, everybody wins. I’ll bet Stephanie and Wendy are getting cards and letters from people they don’t even know… with offers coming over the phone.”
