Parton Our Saying
Sixth Annual Dolly Parton Hoot Night honors a siren (nation)
Dolly Parton’s legacy is nothing short o f impressive.
An iconic singer-songwriter, accomplished actress and
theme park mogul, Ms. Parton— rightfully deemed “The
Queen o f Country M usic”— is among the most success
ful and influential artists o f the last century. All that, and
she has a huge personality.
W hat’d you think we were gonna say?
O f course, Parton is first to flaunt— and, ever the good
sport, kid about— her ample assets, physical and other
wise. But it’s the bountiful career highlights— 25 No. 1
singles, a record 41 Top 10 Country albums, a Top 5 hit
in each o f as many decades, to name just a few— that
have garnered her the adoration and respect o f millions,
and prompted an annual evening in her honor.
The Dolly Parton Hoot Night, a benefit for Siren
Nation, has local performers the likes o f M iz Kitty,Trol
ley Jane, Ashia Grzesik, Ruth Oliver, Annie Bethancourt,
Heather Perkins, Lauren Sheehan, Ih e Dolly Partners
featuring Shelley Short, Laura Ivancie, Huck Notari,
Flash Flood, Calico Rose and Mary Flower giving props
to the flaxen-maned diva.
“Coat o f Many Colors,” “I Will Always Love You,”
“Jolene,”“Nine to Five”— it’s a safe bet to expect hearing
these standards and more. We’re hoping for an “Islands
in the Stream,” too, even if Parton didn’t pen that classic
(thank you, Brothers Gibb). One thing’s for sure: a
memorable evening o f song— and for a good cause. A f
ter all, it takes a Siren Nation to do a siren justice.
Sat., Jun e 1 1 ,9 p.m . (doors a t 8 ); M ission Theater, 1624 N W
Glisan St.; $10 advance, $12 a t door; sirennation.com.
