A show dedicated to replicating the charm of a Dolly Parton performance will take place in Settle this April, featuring Dolly classics such as ‘Coat of Many Colours’, ‘Jolene’, ‘9 to 5’ and ‘Islands in the Stream’.
Now in its seventh year this show has built up a huge following around the UK performing at leading theatres.
The Dolly Parton Story is a two-hour journey through the career of one of country music’s most successful ladies.
Dolly Parton’s career has spanned over 50 years and her most celebrated material features in this show, from her early country classics through to the later smash
The show also includes tracks from Dolly’s new albums Joyful Noise and Blue Smoke.
As well as celebrating the life and music of Dolly Parton, Andrea will be incorporating her own experiences and music into the show.
Andrea’s first album of original songs ‘Stormy’s Daughter’ was recently released and one of the songs will feature in the stage show.
Dolly’s influence on Andrea’s writing and singing is obvious throughout the album, but especially evident on the Bluegrass track ‘Nobody’s Baby’ – a heartfelt recollection of her less than idyllic early life in Sunderland.
The show will take place at Victoria Hall on April 7.
