The Music Box Celebrates Loretta Lynn’s 85th With a Birthday Bash

Country music icon Loretta Lynn turns 85 April 14. It’s literally impossible to overestimate the influence she had on the genre in her 60-year career, coming out in the honky-tonk era when women country performers were an oddity. Her pull-no-punches tunes such as “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind),” “You Ain’t Woman Enough (to Take my Man),” “Your Squaw Is on the Warpath” and “The Pill” were dispatches from the other side of country’s gender gap.

To celebrate her birthday, the Music Box Supper Club is hosting the Loretta Lynn Birthday Bash, featuring a brand-new country band in town, Duchess. Local music fans will recognize the band’s principals though: Lake County singer/songwriter Rebekah Jean and Akron guitarist/fiddler Anthony Papaleo, who also plays with Akron zydeco ensemble Mo’Mojo.

Admission is $7, which includes a special cocktail of the evening.
