Dolly Tribute Gaining Serious Traction
• Vince Gill, Don Henley, Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson, Mavis Staples and Linda Perry have joined the already illustrious performance lineup at the 2019 MusiCares® Person of the Year tribute concert honoring Dolly Parton on Feb. 8, 2019. They join previously announced performers Leon Bridges, Lauren Daigle, Norah Jones, Shawn Mendes, P!nk, Mark Ronson and Chris Stapleton.
Dolly Parton is being recognized as the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year in recognition of her significant creative accomplishments and longtime support of many charitable causes. Dolly will close out the evening’s performances, and Greg Phillinganes will serve as Musical Director. More guest performers will be announced shortly.
Proceeds from the annual Person of the Year tribute — now in its 29th year –provide essential support for MusiCares, a charity founded by the Recording Academy that ensures music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical, and personal need.
The MusiCares Person of the Year tribute is one of the most prestigious events held during Grammy Week, which culminates with the 61st Annual Grammy Awards® at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2019.
