On Tuesday, March 21, The Troubadour Theater in Nashville will host “Always Loretta,” the ultimate tribute show to Loretta Lynn that includes a special performance by the original Coalminers, Loretta’s touring band, and features Emily Portman. Portman will bring her signature Loretta Lynn-flaired sound to the stage, as she did during the touring production of Conway Twitty In Concert: The Man, The Music, The Legend (Live).

“We lost a legend last year and she was an artist that paved the way for so many of us,” Portman said. “I was honored to know her, to have her blessing in portraying her, and it’s a bigger honor to continue carrying on her legacy.”

Featured in this nationally touring show are members of Loretta’s original Coalminers band, including Dave Thornhill, lead guitarist and band leader for 55 years; Bob Hempker, steel guitarist for 55 years; Dennis Digby, bass guitarist for 15 years; John Brown, drummer for 20 years; and Monty Parkey, pianist for 5 years.

“When I play a Loretta Lynn tribute show with Emily, it takes me back to 1967 when I played my first show with Loretta. After my 55 years and 10,000 plus shows, playing lead guitar with Loretta, it’s like I’m starting all over again,” Thornhill said.

The Troubadour Theater is located at 2416 Music Valley Dr., Nashville.
