Doug Allen Nash & Penny Gilley
Join us Sunday, July 31, at 3:00 pm, with Penny Gilley and Doug Allen Nash for an intimate show at the Pipestone Performing Arts Center. You will experience and enjoy a variety of country music. For Penny Gilley, it's all about the fans. Whether she's singing on a stage in Las Vegas, a packed auditorium in South Dakota, or in front of thousands of GIs in Kuwait, Penny treats her audiences like a second family. Maybe that's part of growing up in a place like West Monroe, Louisiana, where her first audience were neighbors sitting in the pews at Southside Assembly of God. Penny, only 9, would sing, while her mom and dad would accompany her. Penny's roots are deep in Louisiana. She started singing professionally as a teenager. Her love of country music led her to perform at Opry shows all over the South including The Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport. Penny released several singles to radio, two of which went to #1 on the independent chart. Her popularity spread overseas with more #1's in Europe. She has worked with many country stars including her idols Barbara Mandrell and Loretta Lynn. She says that one of the blessings of her professional life has been the privilege of performing for soldiers overseas. Award-winning Penny says this about the key to success in life or on the stage: If you're true to yourself and true to your fans, you'll do really well.
