The production “Trailblazing Women of Country: A Tribute to Patsy, Loretta, and Dolly” will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 18, at the Bardo Fine & Performing Arts Center at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee.
Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton revolutionized country music and blazed a trail for future generations of female artists. With their chart-topping hits and record-breaking sales, each artist wove threads of contemporary womanhood throughout the tapestry of country music, resulting in unprecedented commercial success and earning each a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
“Trailblazing Women of Country” will entertain and inspire audiences during this pivotal moment in our nation’s history. The ensemble will feature soloists Miko Marks (CMT’s 2022 “Next Woman of Country”) and Nashville, Tennessee, based singer Kristina Train. The duo will be supported by a five-member all-female band.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for senior citizens and WCU faculty/staff, $5 for WCU students, $15 for children and non-WCU students. For more information and/or to purchase tickets, go to wcuarts.universitytickets.com.
