In celebration of Patsy Cline’s 90th Birthday, Celebrating Patsy Cline is collaborating with Patsy Cline Enterprises and Patsy’s Nashville family to present a first-ever tribute concert in the Patsy Cline Theater at John Handley High School to benefit the Patsy Cline Historic House. Performing is Grand Ole Opry member Mandy Barnett with a reputation for a commanding voice and unwavering devotion to classic country and popular standards. Doors open at 6:30 PM and the concert begins at 7:30 PM.
“Called the “Nashville Sound Chanteuse” (Music Row) and “the Judy Garland of our time” (American Songwriter), Grand Ole Opry member Mandy Barnett has built a reputation for her commanding voice and unwavering devotion to classic country and popular standards. Barnett has enchanted listeners around the globe with her world-class vocals and musical chameleon qualities. A Tennessee Music Pathways historical marker in Barnett’s Tennessee hometown honors her contributions in making Tennessee the “Soundtrack of America.” Of this singer’s singer, songwriter’s dream, and audience favorite, renowned songwriter/artist Jimmy Webb states simply, “Mandy Barnett has a voice for the ages.”
Barnett first gained national notice as the original star of the jukebox musical Always…Patsy Cline at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium. She is the only actress to have played the role of Cline on the stage where Cline’s legend began.
Barnett’s music has been featured in many major film and television soundtracks, including projects starring Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Martin Sheen, Reese Witherspoon, Matthew Broderick, Sigourney Weaver, Ellen Burstyn, Bill Paxton, and SpongeBob SquarePants. Besides soundtrack work, Barnett often contributes tracks to multi-artist compilation albums of all genres including this year’s “Gershwin Country” collection from Great American Songbook Ambassador Michael Feinstein. Of Barnett, Feinstein says, “Few singers have the gifts inhabiting the soul of Mandy Barnett. Her blessed voice connects to the truth of every note she sings. She’s simply one of my favorite voices.”
Among the many publications praising Barnett’s talents, the Los Angeles Times heralds her “pipes of steel,” “big” voice, and “vintage-sounding arrangements.” Time, People, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and other major media have likewise extolled Barnett’s superlative vocals, “natural musicality” (People), and “vocal finesse” (New York Times). USA Today calls Barnett one of Nashville’s “finest classic country and torch singers,” while the Chicago Tribune calls Barnett “a torch singer in the grandest sense of the word.”
Variety magazine named Barnett’s latest work, Every Star Above, one of the best albums of 2021, praising it as a “rich throwback” to Great American Songbook gems.”
Tickets are $35 + fees and can be purchased on Eventbrite.

About the Series:
COUNTRY MUSIC is an eight-part, 16-hour documentary series directed and produced by Ken Burns, written and produced by Dayton Duncan, and produced by Julie Dunfey, that explores the history of a uniquely American art form. From its deep and tangled roots in ballads, hymns, minstrel music, and the blues performed in small settings, to its worldwide popularity, learn how country music evolved over the course of the 20th century, as it eventually emerged to become America’s music.
COUNTRY MUSIC explores questions such as “What is country music?” and “Where did it come from?“ while focusing on the biographies of the fascinating characters who created and shaped it. From the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers and Bob Wills to Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Charley Pride, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Garth Brooks and many more, we’ll explore stories as well as the times in which they lived. Much like the music itself, the film tells unforgettable stories of hardships and joys shared by everyday people.
Tune in to COUNTRY MUSIC starting Sunday, September 15 at 8 p.m. on WETA TV 26/HD or stream for free on the PBS app.

The coat will retire to its safe keeping after the final house tour on Sunday afternoon.
Cline’s style in fashion evolved along with her sophisticated sound, she reinvented her personal style, shedding her trademark Western cowgirl outfits for more elegant gowns and dresses. Always a fashion forward trend setter, this coat is a Good Girl brand 1960’s long leather coat with silk lining, she and other celebrities of the time sported leather clothing in all colors and metallic finishes.
This special exhibit will launch an initiative to raise funds to conserve and restore textile objects in Celebrating Patsy Cline’s collection to safeguard them for future generations. The estimated cost for conserving this leather coat is $3,500.00. Textile objects are among the most sensitive in museum collections, and their rate of deterioration slows significantly with proper preventive care. Any funds garnered above this goal will be used to conserve additional objects in the collection in preparation for public exhibition by Celebrating Patsy Cline, and for loan to other museums and institutions.
