Darci Lynne & Friends

Aug 1st

Produced by Madhatter Shows

Actor/singer/ventriloquist Darci Lynne was 12 years old when she paired her love of music with a male-dominated profession to hit the prime time stage and capture the hearts of audiences around the country on NBC’s Americas Got Talent. She would become the youngest contestant to ever win the million dollar competition, garnering over 90M views on AGT’s YouTube and the most votes for a final performance in the history of the show.  A one-woman variety show, Darci Lynne continues to masterfully balance fan-favorite puppet performances with solo spots and high profile collaborations in music, film and television, all while creating unique multigenerational relatability that few can match.

Twitty & Lynn

A Salute to Conway & Loretta

 

Poster for Twitty & Lynn concert at the Lincoln Nov 1 2025

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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Loretta 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.
