NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For more than two hours, country icon and original female outlaw,
Tanya Tucker, thrilled a
SOLD OUT crowd at the historic
Ryman Auditorium with nonstop hits, her unmistakable wit and an ‘only in Nashville’ slate of guest appearances by Billy Ray Cyrus, Lee Ann Womack, Dennis Quaid, Margo Price, Jamey Johnson, Billy Joe Shaver, Johnny Rodriguez, Walker County, Erin Enderlin and Hailey Whitters.
The audience fell in love with Tanya during a set list that spanned five decades, including new material from Tanya’s While I’m Livin’, which landed four 2020 GRAMMY® nominations.
“There is no place in this world that I would rather perform than right here at the Ryman Auditorium, the Mother Church of Country Music. What a beautiful, beautiful view I have. The greatest award in the world is right here,” Tanya shared with the audience.
Tanya leads all country GRAMMY® nominees with four nods, including in the all genre Song Of The Year category for “Bring My Flowers Now,” as well as Best Country Album: While I’m Livin’, Best Country Solo Performance: “Bring My Flowers Now,” and Best Country Song: “Bring My Flowers Now.” Produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings, While I’m Livin’, Tanya’s first new album in 17 years was released in August.
Recently, CBS Sunday Morning’s Bob Schieffer profiled Tanya’s unparalleled career in an in-depth interview. Click here to watch.
