During Opry 100: A Live Celebration, the band, along with Jerry Douglas, was one of many performers to dazzle the crowd.
Singing her 2001 hit “Let Me Touch You for Awhile,” Krauss and her band drew the audience in as they marked 100 years of the Grand Ole Opry.
Krauss expertly belted out the lyrics and played violin throughout the performance while she was backed by her incredible band.
Krauss first graced the famed stage in 1989 and was inducted into the Opry when she was just 21.
“I used to come here and sit in the audience and watch Ricky Skaggs, Porter Wagoner, and John Conlee,” Krauss once said of the Opry. “The amount of talent that wanders around backstage is shocking, and it sounds so beautiful out front. I love the way everybody watches everybody else play.”
