Honoring Country Music’s Icons
Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton transformed country music with their chart-topping hits, poignant storytelling, and unapologetic authenticity. Their influence extends far beyond music, earning them places in the Country Music Hall of Fame and solidifying their status as cultural icons. Songs like ‘Crazy,' ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter' and ‘9 to 5' not only redefined the genre but also empowered generations of women.
Rissi Palmer and Kristina Train will bring these iconic songs to life, performing timeless hits such as ‘Walkin’ After Midnight,' ‘Jolene' and ‘These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.'
“From a young age, I was deeply influenced by these incredible women, learning the art of performance, songwriting, and singing through their music,” says Rissi Palmer. “It’s an honor to now bring their songs to life on this tour, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this experience with the audience!”
Kristina Train echoes the sentiment: “This program and lineup are truly what dreams are made of. Performing these beloved songs alongside Rissi Palmer is a thrill—her voice is stunning, and I’m prepared to have chills each night. With every concert, we’ll celebrate the Holy Trinity of country music—Dolly, Loretta, and Patsy—and the joyful legacy they’ve given us.”
