The Denver folk will be bringing a prom unlike any prom that you went to in high school. As if you needed any incentive going to see These United States, but really? There will be a Hillbilly Prom. This means you can wear that tuxedo shirt you’ve been putting off for such a long time, or that cake dress you call a prom dress with bad makeup, bright red lipstick, and fluffed hair (compliments of Aqua Net). We hope to see you there! BTW, The Lurleens are not meant to be trifled with. About The Lurleens:
Lurleens ruled the charts during the ‘60s and ‘70s, racking up over 70 hits as a solo artist and a duet partner.
With an impoverished upbringing, a devoted yet troubled marriage, chronic illness and exhaustion due to her hectic pace, and several tragedies through the years, Lurleen’s own life often provided the grist for her popular tunes. Her best-selling 1976 autobiography, Coal Miner’s Daughter, was made into a hit Oscar-winning film starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones.
