Praise Dolly! Esther Hannaford Leads ‘A Celebration Of The Music Of Dolly Parton’

Following the incredible success of two sold-out Tapestry tours celebrating the career of Carole King, dual Helpmann Award-winner Esther Hannaford is returning with Praise Dolly – a journey through the superb music of Dolly Parton.

From worldwide hits Jolene, Here You Come Again, Coat of Many Colors, I Will Always Love You and more, Praise Dolly will be a deep dive through the songs of one of the greatest icons of all time.

Performing two sets over two hours, the concert will delve into just some of the 110 charted singles (including 26 Billboard Country #1s) and 41 Top 10 country albums of Parton’s remarkable multi-Platinum, multi-award-winning career – making this a must-see show!

In scaling the mountain that is the Dolly Parton’s immense repertoire Esther says:

“It’s all about Dolly’s music. Her songwriting and storytelling prowess endlessly captivate me with their insight, joy, and hope. I’m so excited to celebrate this music from an incredible artist who puts so much goodwill into the world through her deeds. I feel like myself, and all of us could use some more Dolly in our lives. Come Praise Dolly!”

Supporting Esther on tour will be the Fabulous Tennessee Mountain Home Band, a 10-piece band featuring the cream of Australia’s musicians with musical director Mark Wilson from Jet.

Live Nation pre-sale starts run from 11am September 7 to 10am September 8.
Tickets go on sale from Thursday, September 8 at 11am. Find tickets here.
