This spring, the Seattle Men’s Chorus (SMC) performed “Dolly: Seattle Men’s Chorus Salutes Dolly Parton,” dazzling audiences across Washington — which then led to one additional performance in Seattle and now an on-demand viewing option for those unable to attend in person.

“Everybody loves Dolly,” said Paul Caldwell, artistic director of the SMC. “She and her music embody a fun and loving energy that’s just infectious — and this larger-than-life concert pulls out all the stops, with an abundance of everything as only the Seattle Men’s Chorus can deliver.”

The SMC was founded in 1979 and, alongside the Seattle Women’s Chorus, makes up the largest LGBTQIA+-identified chorus in the world, with about 500 singing members. The Dolly concert honors the iconic singer, songwriter, and long-time ally, featuring classics like "Jolene,” “Honky Tonk Angels,” and a mix of tunes from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, with video storytelling throughout the show.

Women like Parton and Loretta Lynn reshaped the country music industry during the ‘60s and ‘70s. In 1967, at 21 years old, Parton bashed stereotypes of women with blonde hair in her first Top 40 hit, “Dumb Blonde.”

“Dolly Parton has a career spanning 60 years, and she’s sold more than 100 million records and has many awards for her music,” said Craig Coogan, SMC’s executive director. “She’s also an incredible activist and philanthropist. She radiates joy — and we always strive to celebrate joy and inclusivity in our performances, so it was a natural combination.”

People can purchase the on-demand option from May 18 until the end of the month. It costs $25 per individual or $50 per group. Those interested in catching the SMC’s final “Dolly” performance can attend the concert at Everett Civic Auditorium on May 18 at 2 p.m.
