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."
