Westwood One personality Steve Harmon will take center stage at the Grand Ole Opry this week as guest announcer for "Opry 100 Honors: Don Williams," a special tribute celebrating the legacy of the late country music icon. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, June 10, at 7pm at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville as part of the Opry's centennial celebration series.

Harmon, host of the nationally syndicated "Country Gold with Steve Harmon" and Westwood One's "24/7 Mainstream Country Morning Show," will serve as host for the evening, which will feature performances honoring Williams from artists including Trisha Yearwood, Keith Urban and Rodney Crowell.

"It's an honor to be a part of history, and a part of a very special night to honor Don Williams and his family," Harmon said. "A once-in-a-lifetime night!"

"Opry 100 Honors: Don Williams" is part of the Grand Ole Opry's ongoing 100th anniversary celebration, spotlighting legendary artists whose contributions helped shape country music and the Opry's storied history.
