Singer/songwriter and actress Stella Parton - sister of international superstar Dolly Parton -honours her famous sibling with an evening entitled Parton Sings Parton at The Concorde Club on Thursday.
It's the story of growing up in East Tennessee and the music and laughter as experienced by the Parton family.
Stella takes us back to her roots via audio/visual, with stories of her and Dolly growing up as she performs with her band all her own hits, which include Danger Of A Stranger, I Want To Hold You In My Arms Tonight, Standard Lie Number One and Undercover Lovers to name just a few, plus many of Dolly’s hits and songs written by other members of the Parton family.
Coming from one of America’s most creative families, Stella Parton has blazed her own unique pathway to success. From the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, she emerged from extreme poverty to see her dreams of performing on the Grand Ole Opry come true and to become a singer, songwriter, actress, author and producer.
Stella’s 16-date UK tour coincides with the release of Mountain Songbird: A Sister’s Tribute, an album of re-recorded songs previously made famous by Dolly, which includes a new duet Dolly and Stella co-wrote together, titled More Power to Ya.
