When we got the opportunity to book Tanya Tucker to this year's festival, we had to react. In her previous visits, both audiences, reviewers and promoters have shown great enthusiasm for the beautiful country legend, and we are proud to meet the public's desire for a return from the U.S.
Tanya Tucker was born in Texas, USA in 1958, and discovered early that she had a talent for music. When she was 13 she was introduced to the legendary music producer Billy Sherril. Sherril gave Tucker a record deal and released her first single, "Delta Dawn". By the time she was 15, she had released more than 10 singles, been nominated for the American Music Awards "Grammy" and been on the cover of the music magazine Rolling Stone. Since then she has come out with 31 albums, performed at the Super Bowl and won prestigious awards such as "Country Music Association's Female of the Year".
