Greensboro, NC - The Greensboro Coliseum Complex has announced it will host country music legend Loretta Lynn in concert at War Memorial Auditorium on Friday, May 10 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, March 15th at 10:00 a.m. and may be purchased at Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-300 and the Greensboro Coliseum box office.
Loretta’s instantly recognizable delivery is one of the greatest country-music voices in history and no songwriter has a more distinctive body of work. As millions who read her 1976 autobiography or saw its Oscar winning 1980 film treatment are aware, Loretta is a Coal Miner’s Daughter who was raised in dire poverty in a remote Appalachian Kentucky hamlet.
Loretta was honored at the Kennedy Center in 2003 and pushed forward yet again the following year by winning two Grammy Awards for Van Lear Rose, a highly acclaimed collaboration with rocker Jack White.
She was inducted into the national Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York in 2008 and also was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010. Loretta is returning to Greensboro for the first time since her sold-out concert at War Memorial Auditorium in February of 2011.
