The Troubadour Concert Series is proud to present one of the biggest and brightest Country Music Stars to come from Kentucky!
Patty Loveless was born in Pikeville, Kentucky, raised in Elkhorn City and Louisville. Since her emergence on the country music scene in 1987 with her first, self-titled album, Loveless has been one of the most popular female singers of country and bluegrass music. Loveless rose to stardom thanks to her blend of honky tonk and country-rock, not to mention a plaintive, emotional ballad style. Her late-1980s records were generally quite popular, earning her comparisons to Patsy Cline, but most critics agreed that she truly came into her own as an artist in the early 1990s.
To date, she has charted more than forty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including five Number Ones. In addition, she has recorded fourteen studio albums (not counting compilations); in the United States, four of these albums have been certified platinum, while two have been certified gold. She is the 65th member of the Grand Ole Opry. Loveless is also a cousin of Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle. pattyloveless.com
