Every night, Miko Marks gets to pay tribute to three of the most influential women in country music history. Marks is one of two singers headlining the nation-spanning tour “Trailblazing Women of Country: From Patsy to Loretta to Dolly,” which honors the songs of country icons Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton. “I was heavily influenced by those three women growing up,” Marks said. “It’s a blessing to be able to honor them through their songs, through their stories and through their music.”

Country Universe

The longest-running country music blog, Country Universe was founded on and remains committed to the fact-based notion that country music has never been the exclusive purview of artists who are straight, white, Christian, Southern, and (mostly) men. When focusing on either the genre's history or its present, CU takes a "big tent" approach to the broader country universe and believes that a foundation of empathy makes country music an essential part of our shared popular culture.
