THE GRAMMY MUSEUM TO HOST TANYA TUCKER ALONG WITH SPECIAL GUESTS BRANDI CARLILE AND SHOOTER JENNINGS FOR INTIMATE CONVERSATION AND PERFORMANCE ON OCTOBER 3

TANYA TUCKER TO PRESENT “ARTIST OF THE YEAR” AWARD AT AMERICANA AWARDS

APPEARANCE ON BRAVO’S “WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE” SET FOR SEPTEMBER 18

WHILE I’M LIVIN’ PRODUCED BY BRANDI CARLILE AND SHOOTER JENNINGS, SCORES TENTH TOP 10 COUNTRY ALBUM; ALSO #1 ON AMERICANA/FOLK CHART

“While I’m Livin’ might be the best record of Tucker’s career; it is certainly, one of the albums of the year.”

“The singer’s comeback album recalls similarly inspiring LPs by Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson.”

“The album captures the rugged warmth from Tucker that’s been missing in country music for nearly two decades.”

In celebration of the release of Tanya Tucker’s acclaimed new album While I’m Livin’—the artist’s first Top Ten debut and tenth Top 10 album—the GRAMMY Museum will host a special conversation and performance with Tucker and special guests Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings on Thursday, October 3 at 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Presented by American Express, tickets will go on sale September 19 at 12:00pm PT. Purchase tickets HERE.

Tucker was also on hand at the 18^th annual Americana Honors & Awards last night to present the “Artist of the Year” award to While I’m Livin’ co-producer Brandi Carlile in addition to various performances throughout Americana Fest. See below for a full schedule.

On the heels of her appearances on The Today Show and The Tonight Show—which Rolling Stone Country called “mesmerizing,” Tucker will be a special guest on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on September 18.

Select performances this fall include New York’s Bowery Ballroom on September 17 (presented by SiriusXM) and The Troubadour in Los Angeles on October 16 & 17 (presented by 88.5FM). Purchase tickets, including VIP packages, here. Tucker will also perform at FarmAid 2019 on September 21 at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin, plus Tucker joins Brandi Carlile at the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City on December 6. Tickets and VIP packages are available here. See full dates below.

While I’m Livin’ is largely comprised of songs written by Carlile, the twins Tim and Phil Hanseroth and Tucker. “It’s a musical biography of sorts,” said Carlile, “about Tanya’s real life and the places she’s seen, and it’s narrated by the greatest country and western singer this side of Johnny Cash.” Watch the videos for previously released album tracks: “The Wheels of Laredo” (directed by Myriam Santos), “Hard Luck” (directed by Chris Phelps), and “The House That Built Me,” which features Tanya’s personal collection of family photos. Additionally, listen to the track “Bring My Flowers Now.”

Born in Seminole, Texas, Tucker had her first country hit, the classic “Delta Dawn,” at the age of 13 in 1972. Since that auspicious beginning Tucker has become one of the most admired and influential artists in country music history, amassing 23 Top 40 albums and a stellar string of 56 Top 40 singles, ten of which reached the #1 spot on the Billboard country charts. Tucker’s indelible songs include some of country music’s biggest hits such as the aforementioned “Delta Dawn,” “Soon,” “Two Sparrows in a Hurricane,” “It’s a Little Too Late,” “Trouble,” “Texas (When I Die),” “If It Don’t Come Easy” and “Strong Enough To Bend.” Tucker is also the recipient of numerous awards, including two CMAs, two ACMs, three CMT awards and 10 GRAMMY nominations.
