Beginning in the fall of 2005, singer Carolyn Sills has revived what country music fans miss most: the true experience of hearing the classic songbook of Patsy Cline performed live with authenticity and passion. Backed by her ace combo, The Poor Man’s Roses, Carolyn’s performance will transport you back to the late 1950’s as she captures Patsy’s classic swoon and heart wrenching emotion with every note. From up-tempo honky tonk to cry in your beer ballads, music fans of all ages can’t help but enjoy this one of a kind musical experience.
