Nena Anderson

A Dolly Parton Valentine was created to be a joyful celebration of women artists, love, and boobies! Because I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, this event benefits Keep A Breast Foundation, which directly gives back to patients /survivors, as well as advocates prevention and education. This is no ordinary “tribute night” … I promised you will be blown away by the incredible talent of the singers and players. You’ll hear songs you haven’t heard and your favorites, you’ll be introduced to new local artists, there will be millions of sequins and rhinestones, you might win a look-alike contest, and you’ll go to sleep with a smile on your face, anticipating next year’s show! 

Let us be your Valentine for a night of fun, costumes and great music. 

“There are singers…who fill songs with heartache or joy simply with their phrasing and sounds of their voices... Nena Anderson is one of these gifted singers” – SD Troubadour   A versatile performer, recording artist and writer, Nena has has shared stages with such diverse artists as Lucinda Williams, Gregg Allman, Dan Hicks, and John Doe.

Brawley

If Porter and Dolly are your thing, or you prefer two-stepping to hip shaking, Brawley has Dolly’s first two decades of honky-tonk, ballads and bluegrass covered…

Brawley is California Country at its finest. A mix of San Diego and LA-based working musicians with decades of history and music projects (Hacienda Brothers, Smith’s Ranch Boys, The Forbidden Pigs, 47Combo, Rancho Deluxe.) Their original songs blend seamlessly with country classics, and while being throughly modern, the influence of honky-tonk heroes like Faron Young, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, and Buck Owens is clearly there. Melodic harmony vocals by Nena Anderson and Adrian Demain are accented by the expressive pedal steel work of David Berzansky. For dancers, a solid rhythm section keeps things rocking! Brawley will make you smile while you’re crying in your beer and have you signing up for those two-step classes you always wanted to take.
