SUMMARY:Twitty and Lynn
DESCRIPTION:Come see Twitty and Lynn live at the Mitchell Opera House on June 19th\, 2026 starting at 7p! \nBUY TICKETS \nThere’s a moment right at the very beginning of any Twitty & Lynn show that affords country music fans the chance to look\nback in time. Just after the band has played the signature intro to “Louisiana Woman\, Mississippi Man\,” Tre Twitty and\nTayla Lynn shoot each other a glance that summons the electrifying chemistry of their grandparents: Tre is the grandson of\nConway 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\nmusic history.\n“Fans have told Tayla and me that when they see us onstage singing\, talking\, and just looking at each other\, they think\,\n‘Wow\, there must be something genetic in those two families\,’” Tre says. “It validates the experience of the concert for\nthem. 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\ndoesn’t groom Seventies sideburns and perm his hair; Tayla doesn’t mimic her grandmother’s mannerisms. Rather\, they\nare onstage celebrating country music\, the lost art of duet singing\, and the two beloved icons they refer to as “Poppy” and\n“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\nestablished\,” Tre says. “But we also want to be caretakers of the past. At our shows\, we get generations of fans because\ncountry 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\nLoretta 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\nshow and had the same time-traveling experience that today’s audiences do while watching them perform. “Memaw just\nloved 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\ntheir careers. She’d always say that Tre has Conway’s heart\,” says Tayla\, who lives at Lynn’s Tennessee ranch and used\nto tour with her grandmother\, cuddling up together in the bus’s bedroom to watch old movies while on the road. “We were\nvery 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\napproached him about teaming up and\, after a few shows to test the waters\, they embarked on a tour of Canada in 2018.\n“Even though we didn’t grow up together\, meeting each other wasn’t like meeting strangers\,” Tayla says. “It was like we\nhad 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\naudience and caught the attention of Nashville along the way. In 2022\, they made their debut on the world-famous Grand\nOle Opry\, singing “Louisiana Woman\, Mississippi Man” on the very same circle of wood where Conway and Loretta once\nstood.\nThe duo credits their show’s popularity to the timeless songs of Conway and Loretta — duets like “After the Fire Is Gone”\nand “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly” are all in the set\, along with Conway and Loretta solo hits like “Hello\, Darlin’”\nand “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” But they’re also giving audiences a chance to relive a moment in time that ended far too\nsoon: Conway and Loretta stopped touring together full-time in 1981\, and Conway died in 1993. “Conway has been gone\n30 years\,” Tre says. “Had Poppy lived\, I think there would have been a great second act for him and Loretta. There’s a lot\nof 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\nthe way. With Tayla as chief songwriter\, she and Tre have written songs for the project with Jeffrey Steele\, Mark\nNarmore\, Shelly Fairchild\, and their producer Scott Baggett. “We’re at a great time in country music and Americana\,\nwhere artists like Miranda Lambert\, Margo Price\, and all these funky country singers are embracing the Seventies style of\nConway 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\nmusic.”\nThe pair also released a smoldering cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” in 2022\, with a haunting music video\nfilmed on the New Jersey shore\, and cut a version of Conway and Loretta’s “Feelins’” — recorded the day after Loretta\ndied last year. The raw emotion in the song is palpable. “It wasn’t planned out\,” Tre says. “We were going into the studio\nto record our original tracks and Memaw had died the day before. So we said\, ‘Let’s do one of her songs with Conway.’\nThere 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\nthey’re singing to each other or interacting with the audience\, there’s an easygoing authenticity that comes across. Tayla\neven 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\nConway\, already a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame\, to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame\, and\nTayla is working on preserving not just Loretta’s music but her fashion: she wore one of her grandmother’s outfits onstage\nat the Opry.\n“Conway and Loretta used to do everything with so much passion: the way they dressed\, the way they recorded\, the way\nthey performed\,” Tayla says. “We want to bring that to fans who were lucky enough to see our grandparents before and\nto 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\na special gift to keep that flame burning.” \nTickets are $55 for adults and $38 for kids 12 and under. \nOnline tickets can be purchased on Humanitix with the link below or at the bottom of the page under “Details”. \nBUY TICKETS \nTickets can also be purchased with cash or check at ACE in Mitchell or at the ticket booth the night of the event with cash\, check\, or card! \nDoors will open at 6:15 p.m.\nMitchell Opera House is handicap accessible.\nFood and drinks are not permitted in the auditorium.\nAll seating is first come\, first served.\nWe hope to see you there!
