Where Music and Family Roots Meet | Omaha News

In Cortland, Nebraska, a historic building with deep family roots has become a vibrant hub for classic country and western music — where older musicians gather weekly to jam, build community, and keep traditions alive. Inspired by Arkansas’ informal music circles, Rich Douglass helped establish the Cortland Opry House in 2012, turning it into a beloved space for music, cards, and fellowship. No formal training needed — just bring your instrument and a love for old-time tunes. With visual cues and sound systems helping everyone stay in tune, and a wall of honor honoring past members, this open-to-all session is a living legacy of music and connection, happening Tuesdays and select Thursdays.
