FARGO — North Dakota’s Tigirlily Gold will make a big splash in Nashville, Tennessee, with their Grand Ole Opry debut on May 13.

The duo, sisters Kendra and Krista Slaubaugh, were informed via video by singer Ashley McBryde that they’d been invited to play the Nashville landmark. The sisters were recorded watching the video and were overcome with emotion. They posted that video on Thursday.

“We never hug so this is a big moment,” Kendra said, right after embracing her sister. “We love Ashley so much so it’s an honor to be asked by her.”

On Wednesday the duo hinted that something was up after posting a video clip for their upcoming single, “Hometown Song.” The clip, featuring the sisters performing in a school gym, was accompanied with text stating, “Today we received some super exciting news while filming a new video. We can’t tell you quite yet, but very soon we promise.”

At the bottom of the screen was another note, stating, “We’re about to have some good ole fun these next couple of months. ‘Hometown Song’ is out May 5th!!”
