Seattle Rock Orchestra plays Patsy Cline & Loretta Lynn

Gesa Power House Theatre presents Seattle Rock Orchestra performing a concert of music by Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn on Sunday, May 1, 2022.

In this brand new concert, Seattle Rock Orchestra (SRO) pays service to two country music trailblazers: Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn. Both friends and contemporaries, Cline popularized the "Nashville Sound" and reached new technical and expressive heights in country singing, while Lynn challenged audiences with lyrics that were fearlessly autobiographical and often controversial for the time. Come delight in this night of classic country sounds as we celebrate these two titans of music. Featured songs include Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, Coal Miner’s Daughter, Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind), and many more.

"This is the first Seattle Rock Orchestra program that is dedicated exclusively to music made by women," says Scott Teske, Artistic Director and Founder of Seattle Rock Orchestra. "And it is also the first time we have entered the country music genre, which is such an important cornerstone of the popular music canon."

About Seattle Rock Orchestra

Seattle Rock Orchestra doesn't hide behind a rock band ... it is the rock band! SRO utilizes strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and a rotating cast of exciting guest vocalists to deliver high energy tribute shows unlike any other. SRO was founded in 2008 by bassist, composer, and educator Scott Teske. Music Director and Conductor extraordinaire Kim Roy quickly came aboard in 2010 to tame our unruly gang of musical misfits with her unique panache. In 2012, SRO began its expansion into a full-fledged arts organization with the introduction of the Seattle Rock Orchestra Summer Intensive, a week long summer day camp for middle & high school musicians, which now hosts two sessions at Seattle's Moore Theatre and at Kirkland Performance Center.

Over the years SRO has racked up an impressive resume that includes collaborations with the likes of Elvis Costello, Macklemore, DeVotchKa, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Damien Jurado, DRAM, Allen Stone, and members of Big Star, The Posies, R.E.M., Nada Surf, and Pearl Jam, on stages across Washington State, including Seattle's Paramount, Moore & Neptune Theatres, Sasquatch Music Festival, Summer Meltdown Festival, and Timber Outdoor Music Festival.
