Hello Dolly is an award-winning tribute band celebrating the heart and humor of Dolly Parton. Show business veteran and uber talented Kim Eberhardt brings Tennessee’s Backwoods Barbie to life with shimmering vocals, rhinestonestudded charm and a whole lot of heart.

Eberhardt’s love of Dolly Parton began young and was only enriched when she was cast as Dolly Parton in the stage musical “9 to 5.” Her awardwinning show business career as a multi-talented singer, actress, dancer and choreographer has taken her all over the world.

Together with David Kirk on guitar and Chris Booke on bass, they perform the beloved hits of country legend Dolly Parton brilliantly.

Kirk has over 30 years of experience performing in live bands and in musical theater all over the world. Booke has performed with some of the most renowned musicians in the best jazz clubs, regional theaters and cruise ships.

“This show is our love letter to Dolly. It’s an honor to perform some of the bestknown and most beloved Dolly songs while sharing wonderful and inspiring stories about Dolly’s life and career,” Eberhardt said. Hello Dolly delivers Dolly’s music, wit and glamour with polish and precision, with all-time smash hits like “9 to 5,” “Islands in the Stream,” “I Will Always Love You,” and “Jolene.”

Refreshments will be available for purchase from Baby’s Burgers OC, Koffel’s and dessert truck Drizzle. For the full Amphitheater concert schedule, see page 12. Bus service is available before and after the show.
