MUSICALLY YOURS,
A TRIBUTE BY
JOANNE DONOVAN
Patsy Cline
In the beginning of 2024, Joanne was approved by the Patsy Cline Estate to professionally portray Cline in the musical A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline. Now, Joanne continues her impersonation of Cline with her own tribute show: Musically Yours, Patsy Cline.
This show transports audiences back to the late 50's and early 60's to revisit the music of Country Music Hall-of-Famer: Patsy Cline. This show will excite die-hard fans who have a longstanding admiration for Patsy’s music, and recall memories from a time associated with this music. On the other hand, the show will intrigue future Patsy fans that can be inspired by this historical and legendary singer who stands the test of time. While enjoying Patsy's most memorable records, Joanne weaves true stories about Patsy's career, family, and love-life to make it feel more like a Patsy concert rather than a tribute show. This performance is crafted with great attention-to-detail including costumes, mannerisms, and an iconic singing style that closely mirror Patsy's. In fact, Joanne is of the age when Patsy saw consistent success under Decca Records, making the tribute feel even more realistic.
You can expect to hear favorites such as "Sweet Dreams," "I Fall to Pieces," "Walkin' After Midnight," and "Crazy;" as well as other notable records like "A Church, A Courtroom, And Then Goodbye," "Just A Closer Walk With Thee," and "Faded Love."

What You Can Expect...
Joanne was introduced to Cline’s music in 2014 when she needed a song to sing for a talent show. Her grandmother, Joan, lent her “Patsy Cline’s Greatest Hits” and suggested the iconic song “Crazy.” The tone, emotion, and style of Patsy's voice were unlike anything she had heard before. She sang it for the show, not knowing the influence it would eventually have on her career. Seven years later, a year after Joan passed away, Joanne performed in an Oldies Revue where she discovered other Patsy hits like “Walkin’ After Midnight” and “Back in Baby’s Arms.” This reignited her growing interest in the singer. Joanne began her Patsy Cline Tribute journey in 2023, where she performed a 30-min set at the Florida State Fair in Tampa, which she brought back the following year in 2024. Later that year, Joanne was approved by the Patsy Cline Estate to portray Cline in the musical A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline (one of only two Estate-approved stage musicals about Patsy Cline) in Fleming Island, FL. This musical included 20 of Cline's songs complimented by 8 costumes, 4 background singers, a live band, and a narration of Patsy's rise to fame. Joanne used this inspiration as momentum to create her own tribute show: Musically Yours, Patsy Cline.
