GTX FILM FESTIVAL BRINGING Tanya Tucker Documentary to the Big Screen!
Wednesday APRIL 12 • 6pm
Get ready to immerse yourself in an exciting cinematic experience at Georgetown’s Palace Theatre. Just three days before she takes the stage at the Two Step Inn Music Festival in San Gabriel park, country music superstar Tanya Tucker will be featured in the special screening of “The Return of Tanya Tucker: Featuring Brandi Carlile.”
The film, which won the Audience Award at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival, tells the inspiring story of Tanya’s resurgence in the music industry. Guests will even get the chance to ask questions during the Q&A session conducted by Kathlyn Horan, award-winning director and producer, and founder of TinFish Films, who is flying in especially for the occasion.
THE FILM
Trailblazing, hell-raising country music legend Tanya Tucker defied the standards of how a woman in country music was supposed to behave. Decades after Tanya slipped from the spotlight, rising Americana music star Brandi Carlile took it upon herself to write an entire album for her hero based on Tanya’s extraordinary life, spurring the greatest comeback in country music history.
The story follows Tanya’s creative and bumpy ride back to the top as Brandi encourages her to push past her fears to reach a new audience. The writing, the experimenting, and refining of her new music mix with all that came before—using rare archives to delve into Tanya’s history, which began in a single wide trailer in Seminole, Texas.
Reviewers call it “a rousing exploration of an unexpected friendship built on the joy of a perfectly timed creative collaboration.”
