Performing with an international cast of top Berklee students, alumni, and faculty, Klein has crafted a setlist that spans his diverse and extraordinary career.

Join a global cast of students, alumni, faculty, and an array of special guests for an unforgettable evening filled with Dolly Parton's greatest hits and deep cuts, from rousing production numbers to intimate down-home songs, delivered with a raw, acoustic sentiment akin to Nashville's Bluebird Cafe. The band-a full rhythm section, strings, horns, and background vocalists-will revisit Parton's formative years, steeped in spirituals and gospel music, in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains; traverse her trademark country writing and late '70s/early '80s pop crossover boom; and cover her return to Appalachian folk, bluegrass, and old-world Celtic music. The concert is produced by Maureen McMullan, with faculty guitarist Kevin Barry serving as musical director.
A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, businesswoman, producer, author, and humanitarian, Parton is a living legend whose integrity, charisma, and indomitable spirit remain unabated. Topping 100 million in record sales around the world, Parton is one of the most honored female country performers of all time, with 26 no. 1 songs, eight Grammy Awards, 46 Grammy nominations, and an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
