Dolly Parton has maintained strong family ties, as evidenced by her 2024 album, Smoky Mountain DNA: Family, Faith & Fables. This ninety-minute performance will feature Owens-Parton family historian, archivist, producer, and bandleader Richie Owens, along with an ensemble of Parton’s family members, who are acclaimed singer-songwriters themselves. Sharing the music and stories that raised Parton, this musical journey through time will leave attendees with a true understanding of where Parton came from and why she still draws so much inspiration from her East Tennessee roots. Offered in support of the exhibition Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker. CMA Theater. Included with Museum admission. Program ticket required. Free to Museum members.

Program tickets will be available to reserve on May 1 at 10 a.m. central.
