Great American Songbook: The Music of Dolly Parton
Sunday, February 24,2019 at 7:30 p.m.
Berklee Performance Center
¢ I
Join a global cast of students, alumni, faculty, and an array of special guests for an unforgettable
evening filled with Dolly Parton’s greatest hits and deep cuts, from rousing production numbers to
intimate down-home songs, delivered with a raw, acoustic sentiment akin to Nashville's Bluebird Cafe.
The band-a full rhythm section, strings, horns, and background vocalists—will revisit Parton’s formative
years, steeped in spirituals and gospel music, in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains; traverse her
trademark country writing and late '70s/early '80s pop crossover boom; and cover her return to
Appalachian folk, bluegrass, and old-world Celtic music. The concert is produced by Maureen McMullan,
with faculty guitarist Kevin Barry serving as musical director.
