On our last night lit up for Dolly, we want to highlight her connection to Durham’s musical landscape and legacy.

During her bluegrass renaissance, Dolly found a musical home at Sugar Hill Records—the small, independent Durham label founded by visionary Barry Poss. Under Poss’s direction, Sugar Hill helped launch and sustain the careers of some of the most acclaimed artists in roots, bluegrass, and traditional music, including Parton, Doc Watson, Ricky Skaggs, Nickel Creek, Jerry Douglas, and many more. On 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟱, the Carolina Theatre of Durham will honor Poss’s enduring impact on American music with “𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹: 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘀 & 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀.” The evening will feature performances by Grammy-winning Sugar Hill recording artist Jerry Douglas, and special guests. Tickets are available at the box office and online at the link in the bio.
