Country legend Tanya Tucker is coming to the Okanagan this spring.
On Thursday, March 23th, Tucker will perform at the Kelowna Community Theatre in Kelowna.
Throughout her decades-long career, Tucker has had 23 Top 40 Albums, 56 Top 40 Singles, 10 #1 Billboard Hits, two CMA Awards, two ACM Awards and three CMT Awards.
Her debut single “Delta Dawn”, was recorded when she was just 13 and earned her a Grammy Nomination for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
In 1972, she received the “Top New Female Vocalist” award by the Academy of Country Music. A year later, “What’s Your Mama’s Name” became her first #1 single.
An unusual feat for a female country artist, in 1974, Tucker snapped up a Rolling Stone cover story with the headline, “Hi, I’m Tanya Tucker, I’m 15, You’re Gonna Hear From Me.”
Her gold certified album T.N.T (1978) peaked at #2 on the album charts and she earned a halftime appearance at Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994.
Tucker’s latest honor is the special exhibit “Tanya Tucker: Strong Enough to Bend”, at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
Tucker is still making new music and is ready to hit the road on tour. Fans can look forward to her classic, edgy, and unpredictable show.
Tickets are $62.50 and will be available at the Prospera Place Box Office, by phone, at 250-762-5050, or online.
Tickets will go on sale on December 2nd.
