SUMMARY:Twitty & Lynn: A Salute to Conway & Loretta
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED BY THE WASHINGTON COUNTY FOSTER FAMILIES FOUNDATION\nFeaturing special opening guest: Jake Binegar\n  \n\n\nConway Twitty and Loretta Lynn’s grandchildren cover ‘Louisiana Woman\, Mississippi Man’\n \n  \n\n\nThere’s a moment right at the very beginning of any Twitty & Lynn show that affords country music fans the chance to lookback in time. Just after the band has played the signature intro to “Louisiana Woman\, Mississippi Man\,” Tre Twitty and Tayla Lynn shoot each other a glance that summons the electrifying chemistry of their grandparents: Tre is the grandson of Conway Twitty\, Tayla is the granddaughter of Loretta Lynn.\nAudiences can’t believe their eyes. From that moment\, for the next 90 minutes\, they’re in the presence of living country music history.\n“Fans have told Tayla and me that when they see us onstage singing\, talking\, and just looking at each other\, they think\, ‘Wow\, there must be something genetic in those two families\,’” Tre says. “It validates the experience of the concert for them. We’re telling our grandparents’ story through our story.”\nBut Twitty & Lynn — and their internationally popular show “A Salute to Conway & Loretta” — aren’t impersonators. Tre doesn’t groom Seventies sideburns and perm his hair; Tayla doesn’t mimic her grandmother’s mannerisms. Rather\, they are onstage celebrating country music\, the lost art of duet singing\, and the two beloved icons they refer to as “Poppy” and “Memaw.”\n“I think of us as the ambassadors of the Twitty and Lynn names — we’re just the new version of what they’ve already established\,” Tre says. “But we also want to be caretakers of the past. At our shows\, we get generations of fans because country music is passed down.”\n“It’s about family — the fans’ families and our own\,” Tayla says. “We have so much love and respect for Conway and Loretta and we want to carry this on in such a way that we make our families proud.”\nLoretta herself was impressed. The Country Music Hall of Fame member helped her granddaughter and Tre with their show and had the same time-traveling experience that today’s audiences do while watching them perform. “Memaw just loved it. It brought up so many memories of Conway for her and took her back to a place in her life when they were building their careers. She’d always say that Tre has Conway’s heart\,” says Tayla\, who lives at Lynn’s Tennessee ranch and used to tour with her grandmother\, cuddling up together in the bus’s bedroom to watch old movies while on the road. “We were very close\,” she says.\nTayla first had the idea for the show after witnessing Tre perform Conway’s songs during a concert at the ranch. She approached him about teaming up and\, after a few shows to test the waters\, they embarked on a tour of Canada in 2018.“Even though we didn’t grow up together\, meeting each other wasn’t like meeting strangers\,” Tayla says. “It was like we had always known each other because we had the same experiences.”\nNow together as “Twitty & Lynn” for five years and poised to launch a huge summertime tour\, the duo has cultivated an audience and caught the attention of Nashville along the way. In 2022\, they made their debut on the world-famous Grand Ole Opry\, singing “Louisiana Woman\, Mississippi Man” on the very same circle of wood where Conway and Loretta once stood.\n\nThe duo credits their show’s popularity to the timeless songs of Conway and Loretta — duets like “After the Fire Is Gone” and “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly” are all in the set\, along with Conway and Loretta solo hits like “Hello\, Darlin’” and “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” But they’re also giving audiences a chance to relive a moment in time that ended far too soon: Conway and Loretta stopped touring together full-time in 1981\, and Conway died in 1993. “Conway has been gone30 years\,” Tre says. “Had Poppy lived\, I think there would have been a great second act for him and Loretta. There’s a lot of people that wanted to see that\, and we’re able to let them hear those songs and stories again.”\nTre and Tayla are busy forging their own artistic identities too. The duo has an album of originals (and a few covers) on the way. With Tayla as chief songwriter\, she and Tre have written songs for the project with Jeffrey Steele\, Mark Narmore\, Shelly Fairchild\, and their producer Scott Baggett. “We’re at a great time in country music and Americana\, where artists like Miranda Lambert\, Margo Price\, and all these funky country singers are embracing the Seventies style of Conway and Loretta. So when I’m writing\, I’m drawn to that\,” Tayla says. “We’re in a prime time to be doing our type of music.”\nThe pair also released a smoldering cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” in 2022\, with a haunting music video filmed on the New Jersey shore\, and cut a version of Conway and Loretta’s “Feelins’” — recorded the day after Loretta died last year. The raw emotion in the song is palpable. “It wasn’t planned out\,” Tre says. “We were going into the studio to record our original tracks and Memaw had died the day before. So we said\, ‘Let’s do one of her songs with Conway.’ There was this emotion in the room that we just couldn’t ignore.”\nHonest emotion\, along with Tre and Tayla’s innate chemistry\, is what defines their onstage performances. Whether they’re singing to each other or interacting with the audience\, there’s an easygoing authenticity that comes across. Tayla even talks to the crowd about her sobriety\, sharing a personal tale of struggle and redemption.\nIn the end\, though\, their goal is to entertain while\, at the same time\, honoring their grandparents. Tre is lobbying for Conway\, already a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame\, to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame\, and Tayla is working on preserving not just Loretta’s music but her fashion: she wore one of her grandmother’s outfits on stage at the Opry.\n“Conway and Loretta used to do everything with so much passion: the way they dressed\, the way they recorded\, the way they performed\,” Tayla says. “We want to bring that to fans who were lucky enough to see our grandparents before and to those who are just learning about them.”\n“Our show gives people an idea of what Loretta and Conway were like through their grandchildren’s eyes\,” adds Tre. “It’s a special gift to keep that flame burning.”\n\n\n\n\nOPENING ACT: Jake Binegar\nA modern country music sensation hailing from the hills of the Mid-Ohio Valley\, embodies the heart and soul of Appalachia in every chord he strums. Born and raised surrounded by the rolling hills and winding Ohio River\, Jake discovered his passion for music early on\, picking up the guitar at the tender age of 13. It didn’t take long for him to realize that his true calling lay in crafting his own songs and sharing them with the world. \nJake’s journey into the spotlight began when he claimed the coveted title of West Virginia Country Showdown State Champion in 2014. This milestone marked the beginning of a career that has seen him ascend from intimate venues across Ohio\, West Virginia\, Pennsylvania\, and Kentucky to gracing the stages of major festivals and events throughout Appalachia and beyond. \nAlong the way\, Jake has had the honor of sharing stages with both modern chart-toppers and legendary figures of country music. These figures include: \nTracy Lawrence\, Lainey Wilson\, Joe Diffie\, Dylan Scott\, Trey Lewis\, Chase Matthew\, Seaforth\, John Anderson\, The Cadillac Three\, Aaron Lewis and many more! \nJake has absorbed wisdom and inspiration from each collaboration\, enriching his own distinctive sound. \nWhat sets Jake apart is not only his electrifying performances and magnetic stage presence but also his deep-rooted commitment to storytelling through music. While he enjoys the camaraderie of jamming to classics and contemporary hits\, Jake’s passion lies in weaving his own tales into heartfelt\, original compositions. Whether it’s a foot-stomping anthem or a soulful ballad\, Jake’s music resonates with authenticity and leaves a lasting impact on anyone who listens. \nAs Jake continues to captivate audiences with his energetic live shows and poignant songwriting\, he invites both longtime fans and newcomers alike to join him on this musical journey. Stay tuned for his upcoming shows and immerse yourself in the latest chapters of Jake Binegar’s evolving musical narrative. \n\n\n\nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!\n
