Twitty & Lynn

A Salute to Conway & Loretta
10/6.  7pm

​

There’s a moment right at the very beginning of any Twitty & Lynn show that affords country music fans the chance to look back in time.  Just after the band has played the signature intro to “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man,” Tre Twitty and Tayla Lynn shoot eachother a glance that summons the electrifying chemistry of their grandparents: Tre is the grandson of Conway Twitty, Tayla is the granddaughter of Loretta Lynn.  Audiences can’t believe their eyes. From that moment, for the next 90 minutes, they’re in the presence of living country music history. They are on stage celebrating country music, the lost art of duet singing, and the two beloved icons they refer to as “Poppy” and “Memaw.”  “I think of us as the ambassadors of the Twitty and Lynn names—we’re just the new version of what they’ve already established,” Tre says.“But we also want to be caretakers of the past.  Loretta herself was impressed. The Country Music Hall of Fame member helped her granddaughter and Tre with their show and had the same time-traveling experience that today’s audiences do while watching them perform.  “Memaw just loved it.  It brought up so many memories of Conway for her and took her back to a place in her life when they were building their careers.
