“A Dolly Parton Valentine was created to be a joyous Valentine’s Day celebration of universal love, music, and boobies! Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, I created this event to benefit Keep A Breast Foundation, which directly gives back to patients /survivors, as well as advocates prevention and education. This is no ordinary “tribute night” … I promised you will be blown away by the incredible talent of the singers and players. You’ll hear songs you haven’t heard and your favorites, you’ll be introduced to new local artists, there will be millions of sequins and rhinestones, you might win a look-alike contest, and you’ll go to sleep with a smile on your face, anticipating next year’s show!” —Nena
BRAWLEY
If Porter and Dolly are your thing, or you prefer two-stepping to hip shaking, Brawley has Dolly’s first two decades of honky-tonk, ballads and bluegrass covered…
Brawley is California Country at its finest. A mix of San Diego and LA-based working musicians with decades of history and music projects (Hacienda Brothers, Smith’s Ranch Boys, The Forbidden Pigs, 47Combo, Rancho Deluxe.) Their original songs blend seamlessly with country classics, and while being throughly modern, the influence of honky-tonk heroes like Faron Young, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, and Buck Owens is clearly there. Melodic harmony vocals by Nena Anderson and Adrian Demain are accented by the expressive pedal steel work of David Berzansky. For dancers, a solid rhythm section keeps things rocking! Brawley will make you smile while you’re crying in your beer and have you signing up for those two-step classes you always wanted to take.

CINDY LEE BERRYHILL
"A woman of Cindy Lee's capacity as a lyricist is unique, her insight and raw ability to articulate the human dilemma and articulate it in short order is peerless. She deserves a berth in any Hall of Fame, for the humanities she brings to the usual vanities of song-writing. Somehow I get the impression she knows her legacy will outlive her." –Van Dyke Parks One of the key early figures in the '80s anti-folk movement, singer and songwriter Cindy Lee Berryhill's music combines a deeply personal point of view and an edgy wit leavened with a compassion for the world around her. She is featured in the documentary "Mariposa: Under a Stormy Sky" along with Emmylou Harris, The Violent Femmes, Daniel Lanois and others. Her most recent album “The Adventurist” was nominated for Album of the Year at 2018 San Diego Music Awards.
RHEANNA DOWNEY & MOLLY JENSON

Rheanna, known for her vast repertoire and lush vocals, released her second full-length album during the pandemic. Molly, known for her incredibly versatile voice, has recorded with For The Sender, Sam Outlaw, Greg Laswell, and Jon Foreman (to name a few!) and has released several solo albums. @rheannadowney @mollyjay @shhhhhtheband
SARA PETITE
