SWEET DREAMS: MANDY BARNETT SINGS PATSY CLINE

An evening of enduring country and pop classics

Acclaimed recording artist and performer Mandy Barnett takes you on a sparkling musical journey performing an evening of Patsy Cline’s hits including “Sweet Dreams,” “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Walking After Midnight,” “Faded Love,” and more, along with other classic country and pop standards, and selections from her own albums. It’s a night of show-stopping entertainment, celebrating the great music of our time as performed by “a torch singer in the grandest sense of the word” (Allison Stewart, Chicago Tribune).

Mandy originated the role of “Patsy Cline” in the theatrical production Always…Patsy Cline at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium, where the performances sold out nightly, and she has wowed critics and audiences ever since. Mandy, in role as Patsy, appears on the original cast album recording.

Mandy is a frequent guest on the Grand Ole Opry, and is equally as comfortable onstage with symphony orchestras. Her robust delivery on her contemporary yet retro-sounding country and pop-tinged material harkens back to the likes of all-time great female singers and timeless sounds.

Among the many publications praising Mandy’s talents, the Los Angeles Times has heralded her “pipes of steel,” “big, brassy voice and vintage-sounding arrangements.” Time, People, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and other major magazines have likewise extolled Mandy’s world-class vocals, “preternatural interpretative gifts” (Dave Marsh, Playboy), and “natural musicality” (Ralph Novak, People).

Mandy has released critically lauded albums, including “I’ve Got a Right to Cry,” produced by the legendary Owen Bradley, who also produced Patsy Cline. Mandy’s current album, “I Can’t Stop Loving You: The Songs of Don Gibson,” fulfills a promise Mandy made to her friend and Country Music Hall of Fame member, singer/songwriter Don Gibson, and includes such iconic songs as the title track, “Sweet Dreams” (also recorded by Patsy Cline), and “Oh Lonesome Me.” Featuring this album as “starred and recommended,” USA Today calls Mandy one of the “finest classic country and torch singers” to come out of Nashville.

Mandy has appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “CBS Sunday Morning,” PBS’s “Sessions at West 54th,” and numerous other television broadcasts.
