Last year, country legend Loretta Lynn released both a new Christmas album and the new album Full Circle, which is up for a Best Country Album Grammy against Sturgill Simpson and others. She’s still got it live too, as we witnessed at SXSW, and she’ll be doing more touring this year.

Some of her dates were already announced, like her Long Island show on April 21 at Tilles Center Concert Hall (tickets), but she’s since added more. There’s another NYC-area show on April 22 at Tarrytown Music Hall. Tickets for that one are on sale now too.

Loretta is also celebrating her 85th birthday with two shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in April, and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville will open a Loretta Lynn exhibit on August 25.

In one last bit of news, PBS will re-air the American Masters – Loretta Lynn: Still a Mountain Girl documentary on January 27 at 10 PM. It originally premiered in March 2016, the same day Full Circle was released.
