The music and life of the legendary Patsy Cline will be celebrated at the Fergus Grand Theatre with a special theatrical performance starring Canadian country star Marie Bottrell on Nov. 30 at 8pm.
Backed by The Memphis Cats band, Bottrell stars in the title role of Patsy Cline’s Country Christmas, which combines live musical performances with a true story.
Cline’s unique vocal style took her to the top of the country and pop charts on numerous occasions in the late 1950s and early 1960s with hits including Crazy, Walking after Midnight, I Fall to Pieces, She’s Got You and Sweet Dreams of You amongst others.
Bottrell herself is no stranger to the country music charts with 18 “Top 40” Canadian radio hits to her credit. She is also an eight-time Juno nominee, a two-time Canadian Country Music Association female vocalist of the year, and in 2010 was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.
Show producer Bill Culp stated, “Patsy Cline’s Country Christmas is a family-oriented, audience-interactive performance that combines Patsy’s biggest hits with country Christmas favourites into one incredible show.”
