Singer/songwriter Lisa Brokop in her warm, rich voice and accompanying band will pay homage to one of country music’s greatest ladies, Patsy Cline, with many of her classic hits including “Sweet Dreams” and “Walkin’ After Midnight.”
This Golden Belt Community Concert featuring Brokop and the Patsy Cline Project is set for 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26, at the Great Bend Municipal Auditorium, Lakin and Stone. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Brokop created The Patsy Cline Project in 2016 as a collection of Cline’s well-known country and pop music hits of the 1950s and 1960s. She also will sing a couple of her own songs that she has composed in Cline’s well-known vocal style.
“I’ll be coming full circle with this project,” Brokop says, “When I started singing, I would sing some of Patsy’s songs because I didn’t have my own. They are still some of my favorites today and I am so excited to have the opportunity to honor this amazing lady and the incredible music she gave us.”
Program highlights will also include “I Fall to Pieces,” “Your Cheating Heart,” “Strange,” “Faded Love,” “Back in My Baby’s Arms,” and “Blue Moon Over Kentucky.”
