Go walkin' to hear Cline tunes

Fans of the early Nashville sound won’t want to miss “The Music and Magic of Patsy Cline,” at the Zumbrota State Theatre, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3.

The show features Cassie and the Bobs performing Cline’s music.

Cassie Wiesner takes audiences on a trip down memory lane as she sings “Crazy,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “I Fall To Pieces” and many more of the songs that made the young country singer famous and admired.

Cline was a pioneer of the 1960s Nashville sound and as a female headline performer. She had attained great success by age 30, when she died in a private plane crash. She was among the most acclaimed female vocalists of the 20th century. She was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame – the first female soloist to receive that honor.

Cassie and the Bobs features many talented musicians, including current or former members of bands Silverado, Oh Aces, Salty Dogs, Skilly and Duff, Patty and the Pinetones, the Waybacks and Little Henry.

Wiesner has been touring with the Bobs for about three years. They said the show continues to draw hundreds of people to their performances — a testimony to the enduring popularity of Cline almost 50 years after her death.
