Earlier this year, Starr played three special shows in Nashville celebrating the release of Look Up, his first country album in more than 50 years. The first two concerts were held at the Ryman Auditorium on January 14 and 15. The shows featured performances by a variety of guest artists and were filmed for an upcoming CBS TV special.

Then, on February 21, Ringo gave his first-ever performance at the famed Grand Ole Opry. Starr sang three tunes at the Opryโ€”the Look Up track โ€œTime on My Hands,โ€ a cover of the country gem โ€œAct Naturally,โ€ which he also sang with The Beatles; and the Fab Four classic โ€œWith a Little Help from My Friends. He was joined by Grammy-winning bluegrass musician Molly Tuttle on the first two songs.
