Musically Yours, Patsy Cline

I can provide either a 60-minute or 90-minute tribute show with vocals that will leave you stunned. You can expect an engaging show with heartfelt torch songs, as you might expect from a Patsy Cline Tribute. However, you can also expect jokes, stories, and crowd interaction that will have you laughing! I will incorporate a few songs from other country artists such as Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, and Bob Wills. In a 90-minute show, you can also expect a costume change during intermission.

Joanne Donovan is a Florida-native and lifelong entertainer who has performed in theme parks (Dollywood, Busch Gardens Tampa), theaters, and more. With abundant experience and training in singing, dancing, and acting, Joanne will be sure to give you a show you’ll go Crazy for. Country Music Hall-of-Famer Patsy Cline’s emotional and soulful voice transcended many genres and generations. Patsy’s life ended far too soon in a plane crash at age 30, but Joanne helps keep her music and memory alive with award-winning tribute performances of Cline’s greatest hits like “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Crazy,” and many more. The songs are strung together with true stories of Patsy’s career, family, and love-life; giving fans a closer look at the woman behind the hit records.
In 2024, Joanne was approved by the Patsy Cline Estate to portray Cline in the musical “A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline,” where she was met with sold-out shows and standing ovations. She is sure to leave you mesmerized by the charm, vocals, and style of Patsy Cline!

I can provide my own set up of wireless microphone and two professional speakers for an additional cost, or use your in-house sound system. I can provide ambient background lighting (NOT full lighting system; I need general stage lights already in place). For staging, I request 2 chairs (for guests from the audiences to come up on stage; this can be adjusted and doesn't have to be part of the show depending on your wants/needs). I also like to do an audience interaction bit where I request a picture of one of the audience members. I print it and pull it out during one of my songs and the audience LOVES it!
