Dolly Parton Adds Dates to Tour

Dolly is going strong, adding tour dates for the fall. The legendary singer, performer, comedian, songwriter, actress, writer, philanthropist, you name it she's done it will wrap up the first part of this tour on August 3rd and then travel overseas for 18 shows. Those shows will take place in England, Ireland, Denmark, and Sweeden starting August 20th.

Of course that's not the only place you'll be able to catch Dolly. She'll also have TV appearances throughout the course of July beginning with July 14th on GAC's "The Collection" at 7pm (central time), then July 19th GAC's "On the Streets" at 9am with replays at 1pm, 6:30pm, 9:30pm (central time).

July 22nd you can catch Dolly on "The Tonight Show" when she performs her latest single "Together You and I" off her new album Better Day.

So when is Dolly adding the new dates? After her September 7th show at the O2 Arena, where DOLLY: Recorded live from London (Dolly Records) was filmed, she will do a few more dates overseas and then head back to the states for shows beginning October 7th in Cedar Park, Texas. Those shows will continue throughout mid October. Then, she will travel to Australia for shows beginning in November. 

Keeping busy, I'd say so, but the world sure can't get enough of Dolly Parton and you can't definitely tell she loves performing and entertaining.

Oak Ridge Boys to Join Grand Ole Opry

Last night (7/8) the legendary group was asked to join The Grand Ole Opry by Little Jimmy Dickens, long time Opry member. The group was completely surprised when Little Jimmy Dickens came out on stage with them dressed with a long beard and sunglasses as a mini William Lee Golden. "All my life I've wanted to be a little bitty Oak Ridge Boy", Dickens claimed as he went on to tell the group the great news. "On August 6th, I will become the newest member of the Oak Ridge Boys, and at that time, you will become the newest members of the Grand Ole Opry."

The country quartet has earned CMA, ACM, Dove and Grammy awards along with dozens of hits, and even a #1 pop hit. This group is well deserving of joining the list of Opry members.

Pistol Annies: A Powerhouse Trio

 
  This trio is full of powerhouse vocals, super-talent, just enough sass and all around fun, but you may recognize some familiar faces in the group. Pistol Annies consists of Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, three of country music's most talented ladies. Their harmony is sure to give you chills. With their debut single "Hell on Heels" comes a debut album on August 23rd. The powerhouse trio are already playing shows and making their presence be known. I'm sure there will be many great things to come from this group and definitely looking forward to new things.
