This Friday, March 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Coolidge Theatre at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro, the national touring show “Memories of Patsy,” an incredible tribute concert to the legendary Patsy Cline, will take the audience on a trip back in time to the days when this amazing singer graced the stages of America.

Find out why this remarkable show featuring a woman who sounds like Patsy Cline backed by a five-member band has received rave reviews nationwide. 

Cline is considered one of the most influential vocalists of the 20th century and one of the first country singers to cross over into pop music. Born on Sept. 8, 1932, she died in an airplane crash on March 5, 1963 at the age of 30.   

In 1957, Cline made her first national TV appearance on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts. After performing “Walkin’ After Midnight” the single became her first major hit on both the country and pop charts.

She moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1958 to further her career, signed with a new manager, became a member of the Grand Ole Opry and in 1960 signed with Decca Records. Under the guidance of producer Owen Bradley, her sound changed and she achieved consistent success. Her 1961 single “I Fall to Pieces” was her first to top the Billboard Country Chart. Her next single “Crazy” also became a major hit. She had more hits in 1962 and 1963.

Some of the great tunes the audience can expect to hear at Wellsboro are: “Walkin’ After Midnight”, “Crazy”, “I Fall to Pieces”, “She’s Got You”, “San Antonio Rose”, “Blue Moon of Kentucky”, “Sweet Dreams” and many more. 

The concert is BYOB with audience members encouraged to bring their favorite snacks and beverages and sit at a table with family and friends. For tickets and to reserve a table, call the Deane Center at 570-724-6220 or visit deanecenter.com. Admission is $30.
