"Larry's Country Diner" has captured the hearts of consumers across the nation, regularly earning top primetime ratings for viewership with ages 50+ [Nielsen]. Fervent fans and the show's growing popularity have led to a multiple-year waiting list to be a part of the studio audience.

A member of the Grand Ole Opry for well over five decades, George Hamilton IV was one of the mainstays of the show’s cast. With an impressive string of hits that included “Abilene,” “A Rose And A Baby Ruth,” and “Fort Worth, Dallas, or Houston,” Hamilton introduced the music of Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot to the Country market, scoring hits on the Billboard charts with “Urge For Going” and “Early Morning Rain.” Known as “The International Ambassador of Country Music,” Hamilton furthered the cause of Country Music both here in the United States and abroad, with tours in Poland, East Asia, and the Soviet Union. Hamilton passed away at the age of 77 on September 17, 2014.

Ray Stevens grew up in the 1950s as part of the developing music scene in Atlanta alongside such musicians as Jerry Reed and Joe South. He sat in on many of the biggest sessions in Nashville in the early to mid 1960s, but his place was definitely in the spotlight. His first major hit was 1962’s ‘Ahab The Arab,” with future classics including “Turn Your Radio On,” “Gitarzan,” the Grammy-winning “Everything Is Beautiful” and 1985’s “The Mississippi Squirrel Revival.” His 1986 album I Have Returned achieved a rare feat for a comedy album when it topped the Billboard Country Albums chart. Well into his sixth decade of entertaining, Stevens has just released a new memoir entitled Ray Stevens’ Nashville.

A former kindergarten teacher from Ohio, Margo Smith was one of the most-played female vocalists in Country Music throughout the late 1970s, thanks to hits like “It Only Hurts For A Little While” and “Don’t Break The Heart That Loves You.” She also collaborated with Rex Allen, Jr. on the hit single “Cup of Tea,” and later with her daughter Holly in the Christian music market. She is known as ‘The Tennessee Yodeler” for her prowess with the traditional form of entertainment.
