Amana- Penny Gilley is coming to the Old Creamery Theatre on July 20 at 2:00pm & July 21 at 2:00pm and 7:30pm.
High energy, power packed and real country with flash! That's PENNY GILLEY! Penny hosts her own weekly TV shows on RFD-TV and now you can see her live! Coming to the Old Creamery Theatre from Texas, she’s sure to delight her Amana audience!
For Penny Gilley, it’s all about the fans. Whether she’s singing on a stage in Las Vegas, a packed auditorium in South Dakota, or in front of thousands of GIs in Kuwait, Penny treats her audiences like a second family. Maybe that’s part of growing up in a place like West Monroe, Louisiana, where her first audience were neighbors sitting in the pews at Southside Assembly of God. Penny, only 9, would sing, while mom, Barbara, played the piano and dad, James, played the guitar.
For sure it’s the reason she loves old-time gospel music and country classics, because it touches hearts and speaks to people. “The fans don’t get to hear the traditional music on the radio any more,” she says. “People are starved for the music they grew up on and love.”
“I remember when I was a kid, and Ernest Tubb would come through town, he’d take the time to talk to people,” she says. “It really made an impression on me and I promised myself that if I ever got a chance to perform, I’d do the same thing.”
Ticket prices: $33 for adults; $20 for youth.
