Trailblazing Women of Country Music

Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton revolutionized country music and blazed a trail for generations of female artists. Along with their chart-topping hits and record-breaking sales, each artist wove threads of contemporary womanhood throughout the tapestry of country music. The results? Unprecedented commercial success and membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The Trailblazing Women of Country Music tour features two acclaimed singers (Kristina Train and Rissi Palmer) backed by a five-member band of powerhouse female musicians.

This performance honors Patsy Cline’s assured contralto which affirmed that a woman can be heartbroken and sure of herself at the same time (Crazy, Walkin’ After Midnight); Loretta Lynn’s songs of autonomy attained through contraception (The Pill) and self-respect (Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ with Lovin’ On Your Mind); and Dolly Parton’s belief that a woman can ascend the career ladder (9-to-5) while never losing sight of her roots (Coat of Many Colors).
