Award-wining Southern Gospel vocalist Ivan Parker is set to join a slate of legendary performers for the 37th "Sunday Mornin' Country" event June 11 at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House, it was recently announced.

Parker will perform the poignant single, "Mama's Rocking Chair," from his 2016 Difference Media debut, Dancing in the Rain. He will be joined onstage by his daughter-in-law, Sandy Hagee Parker, for the duet.
"I am so honored to be a part of this year's 'Sunday Mornin' Country' celebration," said Parker. "What a blessing it will be to worship alongside Sandy, as well as so many artists I deeply respect on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry."
