Special Celebration of Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn featuring Conway’s son Michael Twitty
Michael Twitty will perform a special celebration of Conway Twitty’s hit songs and duets made famous by his father and Loretta Lynn. The oldest son of country legend Conway Twitty, Michael has been travelling the world since his father’s death in 1993, lending his voice to the catalogue of songs Twitty fans cherish, sharing his thoughts and memories of his dad in story and music. Conway Twitty was a two-time Grammy Award winner with 55 No. 1 hits, including “Linda on my Mind,” “Hello Darlin’” and “It’s Only Make Believe.” Playing theatres and casinos around the country, Michael’s set list often changes from what had been planned, since he prefers to “read” an audience and play the songs they want. With special guests Shirley Albert and Brian Mallery.
